The Sunlight Foundation and Blogher are teaming up to move our national health care conversation beyond partisan mud-slinging by going back to the facts.
Sunlight is asking folks across the country to go straight to the unfiltered bill through its website Open Congress
and discuss the legislation without the bias of media or political spin.
Open Congress allows voters to not only read the existing health care reform
bill as its written, but also fact check statements heard on TV, read on the
web, or debated over dinner with your in-laws.
You can also read about some of the most prominent health care
myths that have already been debunked by people simply reading the bill.

If you plan on limiting access to medicine, procedures, or tests, then document the limitations and put them in the bill.
If you plan on covering everything, then make it very clear that "every covered person will have access to any medicine, procedure, or test that they, or their doctor, consider necessary".
Only then can we calculate the true effects of the bill.
