WHAT PRESIDENTIAL HEALTHCARE MEANS TO YOU
The Cypress Times ^ | 2/24/10 | Jane M. Orient, M.D.

Posted on 02/24/2010 7:58:51 AM PST by Patriot1259

Three days before the Feb 25 media event, where chosen representatives can say their last words before the nuclear option is set off, The President’s Proposal on “healthcare reform” was released.

These 11 pages do not start with a blank sheet of paper, as Republicans recommended, but with the 2,000-page Senate bill. They are getting a disproportionate amount of commentary, but amount to little difference.

It doesn’t mean a thing to me since it is unconstitutional and therefore the people are not required to comply.

What the White House has presented is a new bill, not the language of the Senate bill, and therefore, subject to a full review by the Senate, not a “reconciliation” exception.

There is still no tort reform, or opening of markets for interstate purchase of coverage, or relief from mandates, or right to opt for a health savings account with purchase of major medical, or separation of health insurance coverage from place of employment.

Why hasn’t anyone come forward to say they will take this to the Supreme Court if necessary? Or have I missed that statement?

There are several (I think 13) state Attorneys General who are considering filing lawsuits should Congress pass this unconstitutional act.

We have Tenncare in Tennessee, a form of Romney care and obamadeathcare.

Do some reading, these are articles since Jan of 2010, older articles tell of waste, fraud, illegals, and earlier cuts to curtail rising cost.
