Daschle would receive another $1.5 billion to give a final report to President Obama “containing information describing Federal activities on comparative effectiveness research and recommendations for additional investments in such research.”

The correct figure is $1.5 million, not $1.5 billion. You can read it on page 136 of this website:

Even if the source was accurate, there is nothing in that bill that implements any sort of national health care, not even the parts cited by your source or her source.
EDIT: I haven't read the entire bill, so I should have limited my comments to the parts cited in your source and her source.
