Go to http://nalert.blogspot.com/2009/07/house-health-care-bill-all-1018-pages.html and download the bill. Then go to http://www.economicpolicyjournal.com/2009/07/whats-in-healthacre-bill.html and read the complaints about it. You can verify what it says by referring to the bill you downloaded.

What Obama health plan. Obama has only established ideas, and he doesn't even know what is in the plans.



The only plans right now are in congress. Nothing is final yet, but the preliminary reading of HR 3200 has a lot of items that will empower the government.



example - If a company doesn't offer health care to it's employees, they will be assessed an 8% payroll tax. What if a companies health care runs say 13% of payroll. At this point, why would a company not drop there health care, pay the 8% penalty, and force all the employees onto the public option? It would be better for there bottom line.



next. If there is a "public option", how can the private insurance compete. When have you ever known the government to actually be fair, for something that it controls (even partially).



next (not directly concerning the bill) but, when Conyers (chairman of the house judiciary committee) claims that he hasn't read the bill and says it would take 2 days and 2 lawyers to understand it, I think obviously the bill is too complicated, and we need to step back.



There are many other items within this 1000+ page bill that have serious questions. Follow the money, I am sure the answers are there. Politicians don't do anything in Washington, WITHOUT BENEFIT (TO THEMSELVES) someplace.

I read about 200 pages before I even hate it more...it is just the govt getting into the health care business.

It wont be free that most people are believing...the cost will be on a scale based on income..3% to 8% of your yrly gross income....if you don't have or don't want insurance you have to get it or pay the govt 2.5% of your gross income per person in your household...people already in Medical, Medicaid, Veterans care or receiving military care would not be eligible.

Doctors and hospitals would be paid based on what they already are paid with the current system....thee is also no clause that forces any hospital or doctor from refusing the govt insurance.

Illegals would be not eligible nor would they be fined or levied a tax for health care....it's business as usual with them.



So the idea that this will create a better system is a joke...it will follow the same guidelines that the current systems use to administer care...and many already know how that works.

And here's another interesting note..any money or levies collected will be deposited into the general fund...there will be no trust for the program.



So a person who earns about 30k per year would have to enroll in their employer program or the govt program or face a tax.

Obama says he would pay for 2/3 of the costs of adding tens of millions more people by cuts to medicare funding. Medicare is bankrupt and can't cover the people already due to be on it. The only way to make those funds serve even MORE people is to cut care.



YOU read up on it.

Also, Obama and Congress sure don't want to be on it. They pretend we all have the same options to 'stay with our current plans' but in the real world of insurance, plans don't last forever and you move to another similar one, because laws change and costs change and they learn different ways of putting things together. So our plans will end, and even if they didn't, our employers could change them, or we might leave our job and lose them. THEN Obamacare says on page 16 that you can not enter a different 'grandfathered plan' (the kind on the market now) after that you would HAVE to buy a 'qualified' plan that fits the parameter Obamacare sets rather than the ones you want. There will be no more competition for YOU and what suits YOU best, but only for the government standard.



So we will all lose our plans, soon enough.



But CONGRESS which we pay for wouldn't have that problem.



And Congress sure doesn't want to be on Obamacare. Why should we?

Lets start at the beginning. Where do you get the "right" to use the police power of the state to reach into another person's life and dictate the use of their time and property? This country was founded on the exact opposite last I checked the Constitution.



See, the problem here is one that humans have faced for millennium. The people's view of the state as the provider/care giver. It is nothing new or progressive, it is the status quo of human history. It is this view of the role of government which wrecks democracies and republics.



"Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses" Juvenal, Satire X, 200 AD



Juvenal is making a reference to the Annona, the dole of food to the Roman people. Its a symbiotic relationship. The people get their grain and the state gets a class of serfs. Inevitably this leads to tyranny.



If you want to help people, do so. Establish charitable foundations and seek to aid those in need. Do not set up politicians and government in a position of power over the people. The Founders knew this and sought to heavily restrict the government, to box it in. I suggest reading Tocqueville's Democracy in America.

you're rather incorrect: The tax plans popping out of Congress to pay for the well being proposals are punitive and confiscatory (yet are possibly to kill any possibilities that the bill could be enacted into regulation). presently the "wealthy" pay a appropriate fee of 35%, that is scheduled to improve to 39.5% while the Bush tax cuts expire. Surcharges will upload as much as 5.4% extra. that could make the common marginal federal/state tax fee approximately fifty two%. that's the fourth-maximum interior the 30 OECD worldwide places these days surveyed interior the Wall street mag. we could lag basically Denmark (60%), Sweden (fifty six.40 4%) and Belgium (fifty 3.seventy seven%) - 5 states -- Oregon (fifty seven.fifty 4%), Hawaii (fifty seven.22%), New Jersey (fifty seven.07%), manhattan (fifty six.ninety two%) and California (fifty six.80 one%) -- could all be above the Swedish tax fee. or perhaps inspite of the indisputable fact that the Democrats are allegedly the celebration of "the persons," six out of 10 taxpayers that is hit by utilising the surcharges are vendors of small to midsize companies. this might properly be a bad plan by utilising Obama and hits the element of central interest creation.

Steve Forbes (Forbes Magazine) was on the news this am calling the prez a liar, about health care, In his words, he said in 5 years the govt. would be dishing out our health care to us, and they would be deciding what we would need, isn't that nice, do not know how old you are, but for some Americans they would be told what will be covered!!!



Now I doubt very much that Mr. Forbes would be saying this on national T.V. without knowing just what he is saying. So that's good, and YOU MAY LIKE IT AND STOP LYING ABOUT IT, OK????

Any plan to offer health insurance to every sole in America will cost the equivalent of a single payer policy x 320 million. Can you do math in your head?



No?



Okay, let me help you out:



320,000,000 x $750 per month (for full coverage) x 12 =



Are you ready for this?



2,880,000,000,000 per year



Pass this plan and we go into debt $3 trillion every year.

I don't even know what it is, beyond the rhetoric that we need to throw a trillion down the well to "reduce costs". Whenever Comrade Obama is pressed for specifics, he gives none.



So, what is it?
