Over 2000 pages in the “health care” bill.
If I came to your door selling a health insrance policy that was over 2000 pages long you laugh me off your property.
What do you know that’s in it?
Well, we’ve had half a dozen prominent democrats say the bill is all about income redistribution, but Barry says it isn’t so I believe him.
Can I have some more Kool-Aid now?
Page 1312, Sec. 203...starts at bottom of the page and continues on.
‘‘SEC. 203. COMMISSIONED CORPS AND READY RESERVE 17 CORPS.
18 ‘‘(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—
19 ‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—There shall be in the Service 20 a commissioned Regular Corps and a Ready Reserve 21 Corps for service in time of national emergency.
Yes, I have not read it either. If I can’t get some of the provisions here, I’m going to have to bite the bullet and read that mess.
Here’s what I observed in the Asheville, NC area
1. My neighbors’ Internal Medicine doc has a sign posted in his witing room: We no longer accept medicare and medicade patients
2. My own internal med. doc is thinking about going private. He has a large group of medicare patients, that would be me. He said last year, and he is the only doctor in his office, he saw 120 MORE patients and earned $8,000. less. That is only going to get worse.
3. Since I’ve been having my annual check ups after cancer surgery I’ve visited a lot of doctors and different offices. All the doctors are furious and frustrated even those doctors who voted for Obama.
4. The girls that check you out tell me they are just not getting any payments especially from the large companies that went with Obama like AARP, United Health Care which is Aarp, Secure Horizons, also part of AARP and one other? They tell me every payment is a fight.
I’m proud to say we refused to go with any AARP affiliate and have never been a member. It has been a dastardly blackmail on younger families who have real need.
Howard Dean says, the health care bill is a “redistribution of wealth.” Howard Dean said that!
Boortz just said, in the “health care” bill, non-union workers and non-union private companies will be forced to step in and bail out troubled union pension plans.
I am looking for a good, clear explanation (kind of an elementary level) of why this health care bill is so horrible for America, so I can it explain it to some of my friends.
In my quest last night, I found this explanation on a blog called, “RabbiJaffe” - www.http://rabbijaffe.today.com/2009/08/16/idiots-guide-obama-health-care-reform/
Granted, it was written in 2009, and so much has changed this past year, but it’s a good illustration using pizza.
