The text of the House's health care bill, all 1018 pages of it. At the moment, I am really really annoyed that there are no cross-references, nor links to other statutes incorporated by reference. This is not a user-friendly document. Thank you, docs.house.gov, for helping me become an informed citizen.
I am not reassured by what I've read so far. I see far-reaching powers assigned to a Commissioner, including the power to grant exemptions, and abundant opportunities for graft, bribery, and general mischief.
Or, as the poet says, Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Edit: and the Commissioner will head up the Health Choices Administration.
Edit II: Someone educate me. Does "with the advice and consent of the Senate" mean the Senate can hold up an appointment?
