Please list a fact about the HCR bill's content with a source.
Is there a good website which has fact checked claims about the HCR bill?

I have read rumors claiming the HCR bill denies certain cancer medications to patients, but I don't know if this true.

Some posters have made a good argument the HCR bill does not add any new restrictions to abortion, but Planned Parenthood seems to claim otherwise.

1. You can always go read the bill
http://docs.house.gov/rules/health/111_ahcaa.pdf

It isn't as bad to go through as everyone says.

of the bill I liked a lot of it.

I have heard mixed conclusions about what this means for states tort reform. I would like that cleared up.

3. Say that to your grandmother in debtor's prison who's about to be executed by a death panel.
