This bill never became law.
This bill was proposed in a previous session of Congress. Sessions
of Congress last two years, and at the end of each session all
proposed bills and resolutions that haven't passed are cleared from the books.
Members often reintroduce bills that did not come up for debate
under a new number in the next session.

Sponsor introductory remarks on measure. (CR E685-686) | Other Titles: | -- United States National Health Insurance Act | Related: | See the Related Legislation page for other bills related to this one and a list of subject terms
that have been applied to this bill.
Sometimes the text of one bill or resolution is incorporated into another, and in those cases the original bill or resolution, as it would appear here, would seem to be abandoned. |

Actually, although I could be mistaken, after reading the bill through several times now I don't see anything that would lead me to believe that it takes the decision making away from the doctor and patient team. Answered by a visitor on Aug 5, 2009 12:05 PM -
There is less encroachment - physicians are free to treat the patient without dictates of insurance companies and compensatory issues. Aug 9, 2009 11:32 AM - Why doesn't Congress just expand Medicare and Medicaid to cover the uncovered and leave the rest of us alone? -

That would not address all the waste in the current system and therefore the ever increasing costs to you others who have private coverage. |
