H/T to Constitutionally Speaking where I first read this.
I have taken the liberty to highlight page numbers and other sections of particular significance. Items highlighted in red are this writer’s addition comments to the FSM post.
If you haven’t had the time to read though the pdf of the House ObamaCare bill & don’t have any particular weekend plans, here are some pretty frightening highlights you can start with.
via FamilySecurityMatters.org:
Take a look at what actually is in the Health Care bill. Obama makes disingenuous comments like “You’ll still keep your doctor” or “You’ll keep your existing health care.” He is either lying to us or he has no idea what is in it. Take a peek at the full report, or look at some of the highlights here:Pg 22 of the HC Bill mandates the Government will audit books of all employers that self insure. Can you imagine what that will do to small businesses? Every one will abandon “self insurance” and go on Government insurance. So when Obama says that there will still be private health care, it’s simply a lie: this mandate will force employers to abandon their private plans.Pg 30 Sec 123 of HC bill – a Government committee (good luck with that!) will decide what treatments/benefits a person may receive.Pg 29 lines 4-16 in the HC bill – YOUR HEALTHCARE WILL BE RATIONED! (We all knew this, because health care is rationed in Canada and Britain, but Obama kept saying it would not be).Pg 42 of HC Bill – The Health Choices Commissioner will choose your HC Benefits for you. You will have no choice!PG 50 Section 152 in HC bill – HC will be provided to ALL non US citizens, illegal or otherwise.Pg 58 HC Bill – Government will have real-time access to individual’s finances and a National ID Healthcard will be issued!Pg 59 HC Bill lines 21-24 Government will have direct access to your bank accts for election funds transferPG 65 Sec 164 is a payoff subsidized plan for retirees and their families in Unions & community organizations (read: ACORN).Pg 72 Lines 8-14 Government will create an HC Exchange to bring private HC plans under Government control.PG 84 Sec 203 HC bill – Government mandates ALL benefit packages for private HC plans in the Exchange.PG 85 Line 7 HC Bill – Specifics of Benefit Levels for Plans = The Government will ration your Healthcare!PG 91 Lines 4-7 HC Bill – Government mandates linguistic appropriate services.
