I suppose it's time for me to write on Healthcare reform (Otherwise known as Universal Healthcare, Socialized Healthcare, Nationalized Healthcare). It is one of the biggest domestic political issues our nation has faced in a long time but I have held off addressing it until now because, until recently, there has not been anything official. We knew what politicians were in favor, and which against, but now we finally have a bill to look at. Of course there may be other bills proposed later, or the text of one bill may be included in a new bill, but for now, here is what we have:

Number: H.R. 3200
Full Title: To provide affordable, quality health care for all Americans and reduce the growth in health care spending, and for other purposes.
Short Title: America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009
Status: Reviewed by Committee and recommended to the House
Size: 1017 page as an Adobe PDF file

I have only done a little research so far, but already I have found some very disturbing details to discuss. However, because the bill is so long, I will simply give the general info here, then create a seperate entry for each individual topic. Stay tuned...
