I read some of it, scrolled through all of it. It is cumbersome and long, over 2400 pages. One thing that struck me over and over again were the millions of dollars going to "fund studies" Many were unlimited. That is not good.
Also, there is so much legal mumbo-jumbo, a team of lawyers could not agree on anything in this bill if it came to litigation. It could be interpreted in a myriad of ways.
The people, us, the ones this is supposed to help, want something we can read and understand. No wonder most of the people voting on this bill have not read it. And small wonder that we, the people, are suspicious. I am really not clear on how this is going to be paid for. It certainly does mess with our current insurance plans. So if you are lucky enough to have insurance, call your Senator and ask him or her to explain. I will bet you $100 they cannot. And that is a big problem.
Here is where you can find the bill:

I could not get it to become a link, so you will have to copy and paste on your browser.
