Is there a provision that restricts private Hospitals to expand?

If so, will that mean Government run hospital expansion or rationing of care, when 45 Million new insured new medical attention?

Will this bill, HR3200, cover elective abortions?

Not at all...I will read it for myself, as I have been night, after night, after night. I do not require someone living in another country to give me his take on it, thank you.

Guess that a big NO THANKS, Hypocrite.

I just went to your website, Hypocrite...I think I'll stick with mine...the one that says http://waysandmeans.house.gov/media/pdf/111/AAHCA09001xml.pdf

The one you are perusing is brought to you by ...drumroll... OpenCongress...a free and open-source joint project of two non-profit organizations, the Participatory Politics Foundation and the Sunlight Foundation.

The one I'm slogging my way thru is brought by the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Representatives...hence .gov

You are so cheesy...I mean really, really cheesy.

Why did you run away to Canada from the United States?
