I started a new thread because I need keywords to search for using Adobe Reader so maybe we can gain a little firsthand knowledge of this monstrostiy. Y'all throw 'em out there and I'll report back on what pops up.

Ok, I have downloaded the House healthcare reform bill to my laptop and I've done a couple of keyword searches so far for handgun, firearm, ammunition and quality of life.

The only one that has returned any hits at all was 'quality of life'. The first hit was on page 525 and I'm not sure exactly what the context is but it doesn't look good. It pertains to Medicare patients specifically, I can tell that.

Another result for 'Quality of Life' returned this passage beginning on page 1324

..."‘‘(3) LIMITATIONS.—In conducting its duties
under this subsection, the Center for Quality Improvement shall not develop quality-adjusted life
year measures or any other methodologies that can
be used to deny benefits to a beneficiary against the
beneficiary’s wishes on the basis of the beneficiary’s
age, life expectancy, present or predicted disability,
or expected quality of life..."

1,990 pages of bureaucracy

Yep and that's why I'm just doing keyword searches of it and not trying to read the whole thing. I'd never get anywhere with it since it redirects you to other massive pieces of legislation and regulation.

At least this way I can look for anything that they stuck in there that has no business being there, like gun control.

I types in House Healthcare Reform Bill and got hits on screwed over, jacked up, Fd up, etc. Nothing that gave me a warm fuzzy.
