Health care reform reference links

Some references for discussion of health care reform:

H.R. 3962 - This is the version of health care reform passed by the House on November 7, 2009. This bill is 2016 pages long. Cite this bill as ‘‘Affordable Health Care for America Act’’. From the link, you can download a pdf of the bill or read a hyperlinked version on THOMAS.

H.R. 3590 - Despite the HR designation, this is the version of health care reform passed by the Senate on December 24, 2009. This bill is 2409 pages long. Cite this bill as “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act”. From the link, you can download a pdf of the bill or read a hyperlinked version on THOMAS.

President Obama’s Health Care Proposal - This is a little confusing. You can download the pdf of “the President’s key improvements” but there is also a list of items headed “Summaries of Key Elements of the President’s Proposal” which doesn’t really match up with the pdf.

A transcript of the February 25, 2010, Health Care Summit from the Washington Post - I like the fact that this is indexed by speaker.
