Keeping the Grass Roots Growing!

There are many myths about the proposed current healthcare bill HR3200. We have recieved many emails and would like to set the record straight with what this bill says. Below are some of the key points that we feel are worth people knowing. We ALWAYS encourage peaple to read the entire bill for themselves. It is a big bill, but anybody CAN read and understand this.

There have been a lot of back and forth on the issue of public money going for abortion. The House outright rejected a bill on straight party lines that would have limited abortion to cases of Rape, Incest, or when the life of the mother was in danger. The current ammendment would allow at least ONE of the 3 public option plans, in each area of the country. Read that ammendment HERE
