In advance of the un-publicly-accountable U.S. Supreme Court ruling on health care reform (#hcr on micropublishing), some handy links ::

H.R. 3590 (111th Congress) - the major "Patient Protection & Affordable Care" bill - official text, money trail of interests supporting & opposing, roll call votes, House vote on passage (concurring w/ Senate).  

I enthusiastically recommend you stream WNYC's the Brian Lehrer Show during the 10am ruling. (Listen now link is buried on the right-hand side for some reason.) Will be informed & reality-based & clutch. More background links after the jump.

(Ed. - re-publishing this post from last week Monday.) You've likely heard this morning that SCOTUS is reviewing H.R. 3590, the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act, i.e. the major health-care reform bill from the previous 111th U.S. Congress that was signed into law March 22nd, 2010. Full bill text (including most-commented sections), roll call results, money trail, news & blog coverage, public comments. 

The relatively-under-appreciated (in my opinion) Memeorandum has the wide-ranging overview from blogs & news around the Webnet; the must-read-every-day Wonkblog by Ezra Klein et al chez WaPo brings (as expected & appreciated & admired) the accessible primer: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know About #hcr & SCOTUS.
