The first published part was not linked in our previous discussion; I am providing links via the Center for Policy Analysis.

The first part is (most of?) the body of the bill itself; some sections have not been filled in. I have not had time to go through this and see what is here and what is not here. (It does not include the sections describing the requirements for qualified health plans, the description of the Community Health plans, nor the setup of the Gateways, which were in the second part, below.)

First part [pdf]

The second part is what we were analyzing last week. It includes the three topics mentioned above, among others.

Jane has a link to the text of the proposed legislation. Is there anyone with time and inclination to read it and see if there is anything in it that would prohibit the states from enacting their own single payer systems? That is our fall back position. If the federal government fails to act, the states should retain the freedom to create their own systems.
