Health Care Bill

Could someone tell me where I can review the wording of this health care bill? I work part time and make VERY LITTLE income, yet if I am going to be forced to purchase an insurance plan from the government, they may as well put me in jail. I often don't even have enough to pay my rent, let alone that!
I would like to see the wording of this health care bill so I can try to talk to someone about it?
Thank you in advance.

Let's go back a ways when "W" was spending BILLIONS upon BILLIONS on a war we can't win. Naturaly this was a ok since he's republican. Nary a peep came from you people. The whining and crying was non-existent at the time. But now that a Democrat is spending money like "W" did, you people are having a fit?? Oh please.

Okay - let's get real for a minute. How much money do you think Bush & Congress should have allocated for the war AND which "War's". You realize we are in 3 altogether. A war in Iraq, a war in Afganistan and a general War on Terror. None of these 'wars' can be won - only battles that fight the ultimate goal to keep our homeland safe/safer from Terrorism. Now, certainly one can argue we don't belong in Iraq & Afganistan - but one cannot dispute the fact that since 9-11 the Bush Administration and our military was successful in preventing any repeat of 9-11. I don't happen to LIKE putting all that money into it -but go back to your other statement about Republicans putting $ figure on life. Aren't you doing the same thing if you are unwilling to put money into preventing the loss of life like we experienced on 9-11?
So - rather than throw around all the rhetoric about 'billions spent on a war we can't win'- look at what HAS been accomplished with that money. Too much? Perhaps. But personally I am grateful that we haven't had a repeat of 9-11. HOPEFULLY - you can agree that at least some of the money we've spent has been worthwhile given some of the results. But more importantly, if you think we spent too much on that, how can you justify being upset over that and not being upset about the fact Obama is outspending Bush and every President before him in almost his first year in office? It seems to me if you are upset about one you should be equally upset about Obama's spending. For the record, I am upset about a portion of the spending Bush did but not ALL of it because I feel the war on terror was a necessary one for homeland security. I can even forgive Obama's spending on the economic stimulous because that challenge was equal to the challenge Bush faced in his first year. But to add healthcare reform and the financial burden this places on our taxpayers and our children is simply NOT acceptable.
