Healthcare. Pelosi. Horror. A plan to destroy the US healthcare system.

Above the fold link to a great article, by someone who actually read the bill!

Here are some important passages in the 2,000 page legislation. What the Pelosi Health-Care Bill Really Says

They are cheering. What are they cheering about?

Quality, Affordable Healthcare for All. Are they kidding?

I guess they haven’t read the bill. If few members of Congress read it, who wrote it?

Here’s a link to a really good article.

Government Force at Heart of ObamaCare

President Obama has gone to great pains to deny that his proposed health-care reform is a government takeover of the health-care system.

“Nothing could be further from the truth,” he has said.

Yet it’s hard to see the 1,994-page bill that the House passed last night as anything else. After all, the bill uses the command “shall” — as in “you shall do this,” “businesses shall do that” and “government shall do some other thing” — 3,345 times.

Not a great deal of choice or options there.

To make sure that we obey these “shalls,” the bill would create 111 government agencies, boards, commissions and other bureaucracies — all overseen by a new health-care czar bearing the Orwellian title “commissioner of health choices.”

All this would come at a true cost of more than $1.3 trillion over 10 years. And virtually every aspect of health care would be subject to federal regulation.

For example, the government would force every American to buy health insurance and would control what benefits those policies must include. Even those who now have health plans and are happy with them would have to switch to policies that include the government-required benefits — insurance that might well be more expensive, thanks to the new benefits you won’t get to choose.

We don’t get freedom to choose?

No. Not even close.

Here are some important passages in the 2,000 page legislation. What the Pelosi Health-Care Bill Really Says

Quality, affordable healthcare for all! Yay! Right?

Sec. 224 (p. 118) provides that 18 months after the bill becomes law, the Secretary of Health and Human Services will decide what a “qualified plan” covers and how much you’ll be legally required to pay for it. That’s like a banker telling you to sign the loan agreement now, then filling in the interest rate and repayment terms 18 months later.

The bill doesn’t specify these things, it would never pass if they told anyone what their plans are.

Pelosi: My! You are looking very Congressional today! Just sign here. Atta boy.

Sec. 303 (pp. 167-168) makes it clear that, although the “qualified plan” is not yet designed, it will be of the “one size fits all” variety. The bill claims to offer choice—basic, enhanced and premium levels—but the benefits are the same. Only the co-pays and deductibles differ. You will have to enroll in the same plan, whether the government is paying for it or you and your employer are footing the bill.

One size fits all, as determined by central planning. That has never succeeded, so why do they think it will work this time?

An individual earning $44,000 before taxes who purchases his own insurance will have to pay a $5,300 premium and an estimated $2,000 in out-of-pocket expenses, for a total of $7,300 a year, which is 17% of his pre-tax income.

Affordable? WTH?

A family earning $102,100 a year before taxes will have to pay a $15,000 premium plus an estimated $5,300 out-of-pocket, for a $20,300 total, or 20% of its pre-tax income.

Just a cotton-picking minute! Affordable???

If I like my insurance I can keep it, president Obama said so.

Sec. 202 (p. 91-92) of the bill requires you to enroll in a “qualified plan.” If you get your insurance at work, your employer will have a “grace period” to switch you to a “qualified plan,” meaning a plan designed by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. If you buy your own insurance, there’s no grace period. You’ll have to enroll in a qualified plan as soon as any term in your contract changes, such as the co-pay, deductible or benefit.

So we can’t keep the plan we have, we must go to “a qualified plan.”

We will be told what plan we must purchase??? WTF? No freedom of choice?

Sec. 412 (p. 272) says that employers must provide a “qualified plan” for their employees and pay 72.5% of the cost, and a smaller share of family coverage, or incur an 8% payroll tax. Small businesses, with payrolls from $500,000 to $750,000, are fined less.

So I can kiss my job goodbye.

Sec. 59b (pp. 297-299) says that when you file your taxes, you must include proof that you are in a qualified plan. If not, you will be fined thousands of dollars. Illegal immigrants are exempt from this requirement.

Ah-ha! Become a Mexican citizen, sneak into the US, get “in state” tuition rates, the whole 9 yards!!!! OK. That’s silly. I’m cynical.

PelosiBarryHarryCarey Care must be stopped.

Well, even though president Obama keeps talking about “his plan,” he has never submitted one for Congress to consider. A “healthcare” bill just passed in the House, and Pelosi is the House Speaker. I’ll call that bill “Pelosicare.”

If 3 people have voted ‘no’ instead of ‘yes,’ it would not have passed. That’s 1990 pages with 40 pages of amendments.

There is another version of the bill that they are working on in the Senate. Let’s call that “Harrycare.”

(We are committing HarryCareY! HAHAHAHAhahaha!!!)

If that ever passes, they merge Pelosicare and Harrycare together and get to vote on it again before it goes to the President.

Altogether, it’s Obamacare – a plan to destroy the US healthcare system. Call me cynical!
