Posted by Jim (aka Jim) Jan 19 '10, 12:02

without any partisan bullshit. I want to actually read the legislation...is it available anywhere?

- yeah...really. I want to know what it ACTUALLY says. Not what the Limbaugh's of the world want me to think it says. nm - Jim Jan 19, 12:13 18
  - This link is from Nov 18, but it's a PDF of the Senate bill. If you're going to read one, read this one. - TFox Jan 19, 12:20
  - Here's the House Bill -- (link) - Dano Jan 19, 12:17 1
    - The Senate Bill -- (link) - Dano Jan 19, 12:21
  - there's a reason lawyers get paid handsomely to read these things - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 12:14 2
    - f*cking lawyers... -- nm - znufrii Jan 19, 12:14 1
      - enough of your dreams about Dawson -- nm - zork Jan 19, 12:24
  - They are going to take your health care and give it to illegal aliens. -- nm - Dano Jan 19, 12:14 11
    - This is exactly the kind of shit I mean. I'm sick to death of listening or watching people spew shit like this... - Jim Jan 19, 12:24 7
      - Seriously, I'd just find a couple of middle-of-the-road sources that talk about meanings and pros and cons rather than read the legislation -- nm - Roger More Jan 19, 12:27 6
        
        I may read that 74 page summary down there, honestly. Or at least stick a copy of it in my bag. - TFox Jan 19, 12:29
        
        Seriously. They're each like 2000 pages. The bills will be long dead and midterm elections over before he finishes! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 19, 12:29
        
        I might try TFox's link below. My problem is there's hardly anywhere you can go anymore to get an unbiased breakdown of...well...anything. -- nm - Jim Jan 19, 12:29 2
        
        warning: it is technically a Democratic website, but its so granular I can't imagine it is spin-heavy. -- nm - TFox Jan 19, 12:30 1
        
        (there is a nine-pager, but it's way more politically spinny.) -- nm - TFox Jan 19, 12:30
        
        TFox's link below is a pretty effective summary. -- nm - znufrii Jan 19, 12:29
    - that's crap, E.T. can heal himself -- nm - dogbert Jan 19, 12:22
    - Is that before or after they take your kid's scholarship and give it to some illegal? -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 19, 12:15 1
      - When they're done with it, you'll want to move to Mexico just so you can be an illegal immigrant in the US! -- nm - Dano Jan 19, 12:16
from wikipedia - Max Jan 19, 12:05 1
- Following their sourcing, this is probably simplest. Go to this link, and click "Section By Section Analysis". -- (link) - TFox Jan 19, 12:23
