NANCY MILLER THE NEW WALL ST. Tweeting the health care bills line-by-line http://trueslant.com/nancymiller/2009/08/11/tweeting-the-health-care-bills-line-by-line/  H.R. 3961, the Medicare Physician Payment Reform Act of 2009 ( 10/29/09 07:49 AM PST ) This 13-page bill was also introduced on October 29, 2009. It will cost more than $200 billion.  H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act ( 10/29/09 07:47 AM PST ) This 1,990-page bill was constructed by majority in the the Committee on Ways & Means, the Committee on Energy & Commerce, and the Committee on Educaton & Labor. It was introduced in the House of Representatives on October 29, 2009.  H.R. 3400, the Empowering Patients First Act ( 08/12/09 06:54 AM PST ) The Republican Study Committee has introduced as an alternative H.R. 3400, the Empowering Patients First Act. The authors of this bill believe their approach will maintain access to affordable, quality health care for all Americans, while remaining centered around the patient. They believe that increasing patients' control over their health decisions will make coverage more affordable, accessible and responsive, while offering more choices and the highest-quality care. I'm carefully studying the provisions of this alternative and have posted it on my website. I welcome your thoughts and comments.  Committee-Passed Health Care Bill + Amendments ( 08/06/09 07:04 AM PST ) (.zip, 10MB) This file contains the health care bill that passed the House Committee on Energy and Commerce (1,026 pages) and 48 amendments (233 pages) that were also adopted.
