This bill is in the first step in the legislative process. Introduced
bills and resolutions first go to committees that deliberate, investigate, and revise
them before they go to general debate. The majority of bills and resolutions never make it out of committee.

Aug 1, 2009 10:55 AM - I am interested in the Mandatory Counciling clause. Who will be doing the counciling and what is the penalty if the counciling is refused? -

The reason this question hasn't been answered is that there is no mandatory counciling clause in H.R. 1200 or any other health reform bill that's been introduced. Aug 2, 2009 11:33 AM - Will the president & congress have this coverage as well? -

Yes. The President, Members of Congress, and all other Federal Employees are covered under the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program. "American Health Security Act of 2009 - Establishes the State-Based American Health Security Program to provide every U.S. resident who is a U.S. citizen, national, or lawful resident alien with health care services. Requires each participating state to establish a state health security program. Eliminates benefits under: (1) titles XVIII (Medicare), XIX (Medicaid), and XXI (State Children's Health Insurance) (SCHIP) of the Social Security Act; (2) the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program; and (3) the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS)." |
