just received a summary of the first five hundred pages of the health care bill. Here are some highlights.

Page 22: Mandates audits of all employers that self-insure.

Page 30: A government committee will decide what treatments and benefits you get

“Page 167: Any individual who doesn’t’ have acceptable healthcare (according to the government) will be taxed 2.5% of income.”

What about people without a job. Is a job mandatory now?

How about the non-working wealthy. Is this the backdoor tax on wealth?

I think they forgot mandatory helmets for bike and motorcycle riders, and also, you may become uninsured if you also have a state-issued concealed-carry permit. Just sayin’.

Let me take both of the last at once. This analyzes only the first 500 pages. So, a lot of other stuff could be in the next 500 pages. I think the government guarantees health insurance when one is unemployed.
