HOUSE SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI announced on Thursday that the final health care bill will be posted online for the public to view for 72 hours before the chamber votes on it

"The House Democratic Leadership is committed to having the final health insurance reform legislation online for 72 hours before the House votes, for all Members and the American people to review," Pelosi said in a statement released jointly with House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md. "We will continue the transparent process this landmark legislation has had for months."

No word yet from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., on whether he plans to follow the House on the 72-house public viewing.
Yes, and the Senate version that Harry Reid likely won’t post will contain the “manager’s amendment” completely altering the provisions of the House bill.
