HEALTH CARE BILL / HR 3200

Here are two widely respected Fact Check websites which could answer many of the questions being raised. The first is www.factcheck.org, which is part of the Annenberg Public Policy Center, at the University of Pennsylvania. The second is www.politifact.com, a project of the St. Petersburg Times.

For members who would like to further examine all of the proposals, I would recommend The Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF). KFF has an accurate, nonpartisan analysis of the major health care reform bills in a side-by-side comparison website at http://www.kff.org/healthreform/sidebyside.cfm. The Kaiser Foundation is not associated with Kaiser Permanente or Kaiser Industries.

To read the House bill, members can go to www.thomas.gov
