ANNOUNCE: Health Security Act Senate Bill S.2357 Web Site

BioData is pleased to announce the availability of the Democratic side of
the health care debate, the Mitchell Bill S.2357, as a World Wide Web
resource on the global Internet. 

The entire text of S.2357, The Health Security Act (HSA), is available
via the web address: 

      http://www.biodata.com/gov/s2357/index.html 

Or you may simply access http://www.biodata.com/ and click in the What's
New section to gain access. BioData is currently offering S.2357 ONLY as
a web service. FTP, Gopher and e-mail service is NOT available. Limited
access to Internet users is available via "telnet www.biodata.com" with
the username "lynx" and "guest" password combination.

The HSA is an extremely large document (1.8 MB ASCII text) that BioData
has indexed according to Title, Subtitle, Part and Section. Accessing
the BioData index to the HSA enables users to view the structure of the
document and quickly gain access to desired sections.

WAIS indexing is not available because the document has only been
divided into 11 parts at this time. Such a large document must be
split into hundreds of parts to be useful as a WAIS database. 

Here's the Level 1 index to the Democrat's HSA proposal provided by
BioData's new web site:

* TITLE I--IMPROVED ACCESS TO STANDARDIZED AND AFFORDABLE 
  HEALTH PLANS 
* TITLE II--NEW BENEFITS 
* TITLE III--HEALTH PROFESSIONS WORKFORCE 
* TITLE IV--MEDICARE AND MEDICAID 
* TITLE V--QUALITY AND CONSUMER PROTECTION 
* TITLE VI--INDIVIDUAL AND EMPLOYER SUBSIDIES 
* TITLE VII--REVENUE PROVISIONS 
* TITLE VIII--OTHER FEDERAL PROGRAMS 
* TITLE IX--WORKERS COMPENSATION MEDICAL SERVICES 
* TITLE X--PREMIUM FINANCING 
* TITLE XI--ENSURING HEALTH CARE REFORM FINANCING

Further levels of indexing, to the Subtitle, Part and Section levels,
is available on BioData's web site.

The entire text of S.2357 may be downloaded by accessing the BioData
web site. WWW sysops are encouraged to copy the "HTMLized" version
of the bill for distribution on a national basis.

BioData disclaims any affiliation with the Democratic Party or any
other partisan in this debate. This information is presented only
as a public service. We are looking forward to hearing from the
Republicans so BioData may present both sides of the debate.
