Want a quick way to skim the Health Care Reform Bill in Congress? Here’s help.
HR 3962: Affordable Health Care for America Act is 1,990 pages long, says attorney Bob Coffield a recent Health Care Law Blog post. To help you grasp the major themes quickly, Coffield has made a word cloud that captures words the bill mentions most frequently. Let’s hear it for a lawyer who actually likes to make things simple for the rest of us.
Of interest to HIT types: The bill mentions the word ‘privacy’ 28 times, Coffield points out. ‘Insurance’ is mentioned 552 times, and ‘consumer’ crops up 36 times. Guess we know who has the most lobbyists.

What concerns me most about the Government plan is this component about pre-existing conditions… Is there any language in this bill about wether or not there is a limit on what insurance plans can charge if you have a pre-existing problem?
