House Democrats have been tweaking their version of the healthcare overhaul bill, ahead of a possible floor vote this weekend. Arkansas Republican Representative John Boozman is opposed to the bill, but is encouraging constituents to read it.
So, what does this massive bill look like? 5NEWS obtained a copy of the 1,990 page bill Thursday. House Democrats have been making last minute changes to the bill titled HR 3962 "Affordable Healthcare for America Act." Thursday, the bill was delivered to the fort smith public library. Spokesperson for Boozman's office Rachael Davis encourages constituents to do their own research. "I think if you look through it enough and do enough research, you'll figure out what they're trying to get at. Basically what they point is government control of you life and government take over of 70% of the health care industry. Hopefully people will come in, look at this and educate themselves on the issues," says Davis.
The bill is available for viewing at the Fort Smith Public Library in the reference area on the 2nd floor. You can also track the bill online at www.opencongress.org.
