Page 22: Mandates audits of all employers that self-insure! - To make sure they are keeping with the law

• Page 29: Admission: your health care will be rationed! Healthcare is already rationed, the elderly and young always get things first like vaccines

• Page 16: States that if you have insurance at the time of the bill becoming law and change, you will be required to take a similar plan. If that is not available, you will be required to take the gov option!

I'm pretty sure with all the companies out there you will have the ability to get a similar plan or keep the current plan if they are in accordance with the law

• Page 30: A government committee will decide what treatments and benefits you get (and, unlike an insurer, there will be no appeals process) If you decide to take the Gov plan, depending on what plan you choose is what they decide. Just like how you choose it now.

Page 42: The "Health Choices Commissioner" will decide health benefits for you. You will have no choice. None. See 30

• Page 50: All non-US citizens, illegal or not, will be provided with free healthcare services. I'm sure they might ammend this. I'd still rather have free healthcare for all if that is what it has to come down to

Page 58: Every person will be issued a National ID Healthcard. How is this any different from a drivers license? or a social security card? Do you hate those too? I personally like being able to drive.

• Page 59: The federal government will have direct, real-time access to all individual bank accounts for electronic funds transfer. If you receive services alot of places want payment upfront unless you have insurance

• Page 65: Taxpayers will subsidize all union retiree and community organizer health plans (example: SEIU, UAW and ACORN) Higher taxes for the rich. Not really a big deal

• Page 72: All private healthcare plans must conform to government rules to participate in a Healthcare Exchange. This is for your safety, if the banks had to do this they wouldn't have needed bailouts!

• Page 84: All private healthcare plans must participate in the Healthcare Exchange (i.e., total government control of private plans)
See 72

• Page 95: The Government will pay ACORN and Americorps to sign up individuals for Government-run Health Care plan. Incentives to get people to sign up for the services at subsidized costs.

• Page 124: No company can sue the government for price-fixing. No "judicial review" is permitted against the government monopoly. Put simply, private insurers will be crushed. Government has a system of checks and balances. If one does price fixing another will stop it.

• Page 127: The AMA sold doctors out: the government will set wages The government usually pays doctors pretty damn well anyways with full benefits

Page 102: Those eligible for Medicaid will be automatically enrolled: you have no choice in the matter. You say this like its a bad thing. My grandmother had services done and medicare paid for it. Wouldnt have been able to afford it otherwise

• Page 126: Employers MUST pay healthcare bills for part-time employees AND their families. And you see a problem with this?

• Page 149: Any employer with a payroll of $400K or more, who does not offer the public option, pays an 8% tax on payroll • Page 150: Any employer with a payroll of $250K-400K or more, who does not offer the public option, pays a 2 to 6% tax on payroll They still have to pay taxes anyways, I don't see anything different about this

• Page 167: Any individual who doesn't have acceptable healthcare will be taxed 2.5% of income. Uhh.. individuals already get their income taxed

• Page 170: Any NON-RESIDENT alien is exempt from individual taxes (Americans will pay for them). Ok, I don't agree with this one

• Page 195: Officers and employees of Government Healthcare Bureaucracy will have access to ALL American financial and personal records. It's not really much different now, they can still get that.

• Page 239: Bill will reduce physician services for Medicaid. Seniors and the poor most affected." They are the most affected for the positive because they would be able to get the same care as some rich person.

• Page 280: Hospitals will be penalized for what the government deems preventable re-admissions. I'm sorry but if you don't have any reason to actually go back to the hospital then your wasting valuable resources. People who have colds dont need to go to a hospital to have the doctor tell them go home and get some rest. They could have just went to a practice anyways

• Page 317: Doctors: you are now prohibited for owning and investing in healthcare companies! Isn't this a conflict of interests?

• Page 318: Prohibition on hospital expansion. Hospitals cannot expand without government approval. Resources can be squandered without approval

• Page 489: Government will cover marriage and family therapy. Government intervenes in your marriage. Government ALREADY intervenes by making it unlawful for one guy to be married to another guy

• Page 469: Community-based Home Medical Services: more payoffs for ACORN. Things like in home care for the elderly bother you?

• Page 472: Payments to Community-based organizations: more payoffs for ACORN. Payments for them to use on more services

• Page 494: Government will cover mental health services: defining, creating and rationing those services alot of mental health services already get their budget from the government

Haha! Towyn emphasizes the negative while lupey makes sence of them. this is a big F U in your faec!

good points but thats a big ass bill and you only pointed out the 1st 1/4 of it. The bill probably has positive things inside that you might be missing and we need to make comprimises at times so be aware that everything is not perfect. btw while im here happy birthday and murry wuffmas *snugs*

*Sigh* Karl Marx's would be proud.
