[edit] What is the exact name of this Act?

I believe the official name of this law may be the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, Public L. No. 99-272 (April 7, 1986).

That is, although the Act was signed into law on April 7, 1986, its official title shows the year "1985" (not "1986"). This is a rather unusual situation, but numerous web sites do show the official name of the Act as "1985."

One sure way to tell is to go to a library and check the official United States Statutes at Large. I believe the Act should be in around volume 100. (Maybe someone else can get to a library before I can?) Famspear 20:06, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Continuity of Coverage

A discussion of Continuity of Coverage would be very relevant here. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.97.252.155 (talk) 14:04, 15 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Legislative history

The article should explain the legislative history that led to the inclusion of the insurance law in an appropriations (?) bill. 121a0012 02:27, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
