Health care "bill"

[jeremy2141]

Does anyone know why the health care "bill" is called HR3200?  I may be confused, but aren't HR's Resolutions, and therefore non-binding?  Don't they usually use HB (bill) when they are attempting to pass a law.  Can the people of NH throw out a resolution sent from the Federal Government?

I know that HCR6 was just a resolution within the NH congress (without the senate or governer a part of it), and not worth much more than toilet paper as far as having any law involved.  All they do is send a copy to the people listed on the resolution (who can then use it for TP if they want).

No, but as an old artilleryman, it makes me chuckle.

Anyone else remember the "3200 Out" award for the screw-up of the month?
