Encouraging North Texas residents to know how the House Democrat healthcare bill, H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act, would impact their personal lives, U.S. Congressman Sam Johnson (3^rd Dist.-Texas) will deliver copies of the bill to the local public libraries across the Third Congressional District.  Johnson also has posted a link to the bill on his official website: www.SamJohnson.house.gov.

The staff will deliver the text to libraries in Allen, Garland, McKinney, Plano, and Rowlett.

The bill is 2,000 pages long, weighs in at 20 pounds and costs more than $1 trillion.  To pay for the hefty price tag, the bill creates $572 billion in new taxes and cuts $426 billion from Medicare.

 “Constituent service is one of my top priorities.  As a matter of principle, the American people have a right to know what is in the healthcare bill before it becomes law.   Making copies of the most sweeping and transformational legislation in a generation available to the public is one more way to help my constituents better understand how this bill will personally impact them,” concluded Johnson.

Johnson represents portions of Dallas and CollinCounties.
