That's an amendement, sponsored by John Boehner, to one bill related to the HCR bill that passed, not a bill in itself. The amendment was attached to this bill: H.R. 3962: Preservation of Access to Care for Medicare Beneficiaries and Pension Relief Act of 2010. Boehner's amendment was brought up for a vote on the floor of the House and failed. Which kind of begs the question, how come Spkr. Boehner and the rest of the Republicans claim they had no say in this bill? Of course they did. This amendment proves it.

Here is the summary of that amendment, from the Library of Congress, Thomas:

2. H.AMDT.510 to H.R.3962 Amendment in the nature of a substitute sought to create Universal Access Programs that expand and reform high-risk pools and reinsurance programs; sought to prevent insurers from unjustly canceling a policy or instituting annual or lifetime spending caps; sought to put in place medical liability reforms and give small businesses the power to pool together and offer health care at lower prices; sought to prohibit all Federal funds, whether they are authorized funds or appropriated funds, from being used to pay for abortions; and sought to create new incentives to save for future and long-term care needs by allowing qualified participants to use HSAs to pay premiums.
Sponsor: Rep Boehner, John A. [OH-8] (introduced 11/7/2009) Cosponsors (None)
Latest Major Action: 11/7/2009 House amendment not agreed to. Status: On agreeing to the Boehner amendment (A002) Failed by the Yeas and Nays: 176 - 258 (Roll no. 885).
