Is there somewhere online where the various proposed reform bills can be read?

HR 3200 is on [http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?c111:1:./temp/~c111iBL6JB::](http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?c111:1:./temp/~c111iBL6JB::)

When you Google “health care reform” you will get a zillion articles for and against the various bill numbers, then you can find the base document on Thomas.

What I’ve looked for sporadically and have not found is the PowerPoint of the 4 hour committee briefing to the Representatives.
