Senate Finance Committee Falsely Claims It Posted ‘Full Text’ of Health Care Bill Online
October 14, 2009 by Nicholas Ballasy
The Senate Finance Committee, chaired by Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.), claimed it posted the “full text” of its health care reform bill, “America’s Healthy Future Act,” on its Web site. But when users clicked the link to read the proposed law, they could only access a 259-page document that included summaries of both current law and the proposed legislation--or what some senators called a "plain English" version of the bill.
The actual “legislative language” of the bill--the words that would become the law of the land if the bill were enacted--is not available to the public and apparently has not even been written.
