Terms of Service - Updated 08/13/2009

By Reading This Terms of Service Agreement, you agree to the stated terms of service listed below. If you will not read the Terms of Service below, please close your browser now and refrain from visiting our site again until you will read our Terms of Service and agree to them. Warning: The Terms of Service may change frequently and it is up to you (the user,) to maintain familiarity with this Terms of Service Agreement.

NewHealthCarePlan.com offers the service of opinion sharing on the topic of proposed HealthCare legislation and hosts a discussion forum on that matter. We (at newhealthcareplan.com,) are NOT lawyers, nor are we law scholars. We are not affiliated with the Government of the United States of America in ANY way. We are private citizens concerned about the health care plan issues being proposed and are even more concerned that many of our fellow citizens are unable to comprehend the language of the proposed healthcare bill in its native form or are intimidated by its length and complexity. It is for these reasons alone that we have created this web resource.

We are NOT experts on matters of law and our interpretation of the legislation (proposed or signed,) as it is written is subject to mistakes and misinterpretations as a result. By continuing to review content and participate in our service offerings, you agree to your understanding of this fact. By continuing to read or consume materials on this website, you also agree not to hold newhealthcareplan.com or any of its staff, hosts, or affiliates liable for any misinformation or misunderstanding that you might encounter while reviewing our website or any subsequent damages to you, your family, or anyone in your sphere of perception. We provide this service at no direct cost to the end user and expect any differences of opinion to be handled in a respectful manner in our comments sections.

Our website is a work in progress. As such, there are significant portions of text that do not yet exist on the site. As the proposed bill is still being authored at the time of this writing, content on our site may not be up to date or congruent with the actual bill being proposed by congress. Also, given the length and breadth of this legislation (which references previous acts of law,) we may not be able to display all relevant portions of law. We have already encountered references to previous acts of congress in this healthcare bill that predate the web-based systems that the U.S. Government currently employs and thus require physical research in law libraries to obtain. We will retrieve this information as we can, but offer no guarantees as to its legitimacy or accuracy. You, (the user,) agrees that even the stated proposed bill on this site, might vary from the actual bill proposed by Congress and further agree to alert us to these inconsistencies as you encounter them. Our intent is to provide as accurate a representation of the proposed bill as possible and as such will only reference information from sources we deem to be government entities. As the nature of the internet can (in extreme cases,) cause these sources to be incorrect, we cannot guarantee, nor do we represent that the bill itself is accurate in any way. You, (the user,) having read this explanation, understand that our presentation of the bill should be confirmed by official sources before taking into consideration our opinions or the opinions of the users on newhealthcareplan.com.

You, the user are made available this site as a public service to the community at large. By participating in this interactive web application, you agree to maintain behavior in a manner befitting a public place or resource.
