It is fairly elusive. I am still not sure I have the correct version. The obvious website that I wanted to download it from, which is called opencongress.org jammed up my computer 3 times...so I went to the next link, which was candacemiller.house.gov - it is certified by the Superintendent of Docs of the US Gov't Print Office...so should be legit right? I successfully downloaded a version of the bill...however - I didn't get very far.
The Title is great - it is called HR 3200 American Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009. The first 14 pages are all table of contents and definitions. As soon as I got into the meat - I realized that it is not going to be an easy read...duh. It is written in legal speak - in order to be interpreted by the courts etc in the future. I really can't tell what the first part says yet, but the title of it sounds good also...it is called:
TITLE I—PROTECTIONS AND STANDARDS FOR QUALIFIED HEALTH BENEFITS PLANS
Subtitle A—General Standards
SEC. 101. REQUIREMENTS REFORMING HEALTH INSURANCE MARKETPLACE.
(a) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this title is to estab lish standards to ensure that new health insurance coverage and employment-based health plans that are offered meet standards guaranteeing access to affordable coverage, essential benefits, and other consumer protections.
As I said the rest I am not able to understand yet...I'll get back to you.
