The Senate Health Care Bill

The Senate Democrats have just posted the Health Care Bill. It is even longer than the House Version. It is not clear what it is called since it seems in this version to be called:

IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES—111th Cong., 1st Sess.

H. R. 3590

To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to modify the first-time homebuyers credit in the case of members of the Armed Forces and certain other Federal employees, and for other purposes.

Then it continues:

(a) SHORT TITLE.—This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act’’.

Hopefully this is just a page 1 error. Not a good sign. Or is this just a back door way to get this legislation passed with just 50 votes, it is an amendment to a House tax bill for the Armed Services funding of their housing needs. What a dirty pool bunch of folks! Enjoy it over the Thanksgiving holiday!
