We know that a lot of stuff is added or change when a bill is reconciled between the House and the Senate. My proposal is that before the final bill is voted on the public is given 30 days to read the bill.
That a document would be prepare to explain the bill in terms we can understand. If the bill says, "change line 21 in Law X from 500,000 to 2 million", that the document would say, it means giving Corporation Z a tax right-off of 2 million versus 500,000 for doing Y.
And that when any further changes are made, and additional 14 days are given for public comment.

From what I've heard so far Obama has completely caved into the health insurance CEOs, the reform will be worse than what we have now, doing nothing will mean higher premiums, reduced quality, and more people uninsured,...yet the Republican massacre of the reform bill has made the current reform bill even worse than doing nothing, the Democrats and Obama are stupid in trying to get bipartisan consensus with them, they should just ram through original reform, with public option at a minimum, if they want positive change...the reform as it stands now is worse than doing nothing and very profitable for health insurance...I am starting to wonder who's side is Obama on? Is he with the people and small business or the Large Corporations??
The "Republicans" have no power in congress, so they can not massacre the bill. The problem is with the "conservative" Democrats.
They still have power just less power than before, thank God, and I agree conservative Democrats are worse than Republicans because they, like Republican they are not "conservative" at all they spend much more of our tax dollars than the liberals do, the only difference being they spend on stuff like war and subsidizing the military contractors, the big banks and the oil and coal industries whereas the liberals spend on social security, health care, and other social programs, in general, though you will always find anomalies on both sides if you look hard enough.
