HR 3600

HR 3600 refers to H.R.3600, the Health Care Coverage Availability and Affordability Act of 2009. This proposed bill in the United States House of Representatives aimed to reform healthcare by focusing on insurance market reforms and cost containment measures. It was introduced during the Obama administration as an alternative to the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Key provisions included creating a public health insurance option to compete with private insurers, expanding Medicaid eligibility, and establishing health insurance exchanges. The bill faced significant opposition and ultimately did not pass into law, with the ACA becoming the dominant healthcare reform legislation. It is also important to note that different bills can be assigned the same number in different sessions of Congress, so this number could potentially refer to other legislative proposals in different years.
