New Orleans, LA , Oct 30 -

Soon, Louisiana’s 2nd Congressional District will have better access to the new House health care bill, H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act.

By 3pm CST today, the Office of Congressman Anh “Joseph” Cao (LA-2) will deliver the most recent version of the entire 1,990 page bill to the following 17 local libraries and 2 law schools.

Cao headed home from DC Thursday evening to digest the new bill. (SEE VIDEO HERE) He said: “I’m going to be spending my weekend reading every page of this bill to prepare for next week’s vote. The bill was just released yesterday and contains some major changes to the earlier proposals. I want to make sure that my constituents have an opportunity to read this bill, too because it will impact everyone.”

Orleans and Jefferson Parish constituents should be aware that the provided copies of the health care bill are reference documents only and cannot be removed from the institutions.

Congressman Cao has been extremely engaged in the national health care debate. He has met on several occasions with White House Health Care Czar, Nancy-Ann DeParle and hosted her during a public telephone town hall that went out to over 62,000 households. He has also had several briefings on the health care legislation from experts with the Congressional Research Service and hosted 11 health care town halls during August recess.

The bill is also available on his website at www.josephcao.house.gov .
