No matter how limited the reach of any initial, enabling legislation, they will never stop trying to reach their basic goals – through ... interpretations and decisions of regulators ...

The "regulators" will be people like Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, Cass Sunstein and John Holdren. These people have written and published books about their belief in rationed healthcare, forced sterilization, forced abortion and euthanasia. A 1,000-page bill will enable them to write 20,000 pages of new regulations, and amend thousands of pages of existing regulations. They will exploit every loophole that the 1,000-page bill creates.

It won't be hard to force existing health insurance companies out of business. All they have to do is follow the established formula: impose additional costs, and then prohibit the companies from raising rates to cover those additional costs. In this specific case, they have already announced that they don't want coverage denied for people who have pre-existing conditions such as HIV. They'll also prohibit health insurance companies from raising premiums to cover the costs of providing medical care for people with pre-existing conditions. Voila! Companies like Aetna and Blue Cross/Blue Shield withdraw from the health insurance market, leaving the public option as the only option. And when you have only one option, it's not an option.

Also, they claim that illegal immigrants won't be covered and they point to phrases in the bill that support this claim. But there is no enforcement mechanism: no penalty for anyone who goes ahead and provides health care coverage on the public dime for illegal immigrants. If the bill provided a fine or a jail sentence, then Obama would be telling the truth. Furthermore, they plan to provide amnesty for illegal immigrants, and the bill is carefully phrased to provide coverage for people who are "present in this country legally," not just "citizens."

There's a lot they're not telling you. Combined with the lies they ARE telling you, it's enough to make 2 million conservatives march on Washington.
