The current House health care bill would make individual private medical insurance illegal and obliterate the market for individual coverage, opponents warn.
Investor's Business Daily reviewed H.R. 3200, a 1,018-page bill, and sought help from the House Ways and Means Committee when it stumbled upon the following segment listed under "Protecting the Choice to Keep Current Coverage," in the "Limitation on Enrollment" section on Page 16:
"Except as provided in this paragraph, the individual health insurance issuer offering such coverage does not enroll any individual in such coverage if the first effective date of coverage is on or after the first day" of the year the legislation becomes law.
"So we can all keep our coverage, just as promised – with, of course, exceptions: Those who currently have private individual coverage won't be able to change it. Nor will those who leave a company to work for themselves be free to buy individual plans from private carriers," Investor's Business Daily reported.
Human Events writer Ross Kaminsky dubbed the Senate bill "an equal disaster" to the House version. Kaminsky outlined the following details of the House bill, referring to it as "the largest tax hike in American history":

Liberals and Ignorance are the deadly combination that the devil is using to destroy us.....and he has sure found an effective weapon.
Hosea 4:6 my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.
“Because you have rejected knowledge,
I also reject you as my priests;
because you have ignored the law of your God,
I also will ignore your children.
Sometimes, Cincinnatus needs to leave the plow keyboard and march to war head for Washington.
Of course it will. All protestations to the contrary, if the government wants control of your life, they will take it by force in any way possible.
Gee, who would have guessed it but our BETTERS — the so-called political elites who are running things (slap into the ground) in the country — HAVE EXEMPTED THEMSELVES from the “UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE” they have planned for us PEONS and PEASANTS. They — and their millions of bureaucratic minions — have a VASTLY SUPERIOR healthcare plan.
HEY — The term is UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE. That means it covers the universe, i.e., the ENTIRE POPULATION. EVERYONE is covered by the SAME RULES and NOBODY is LEFT OUT!
If that IS what the Democrat political elites REALLY WANT, here’s the deal:
NO EXCEPTIONS!!!
No members of Congress or ANYONE in the White House running off to Walter Reed or Bethesda for that nasty ingrown toenail, hacking cough and spitting up blood. Take a number and wait in the same line the rest of us are.
That goes for your congressional and White House children and other family members! GET IN LINE!!! That REALLY LONG ONE that ends on the other street.
And if your UNIVERSAL RULES dictate that some life-saving treatment would be too expensive or not be cost-effective for you older members, here’s a twenty (the cost of a phone call once the TARP “money” hits the system) – call someone who cares.
Oh yeah – forgot the best part: If ANY of you are found to be availing yourselves of what idiot representative Fortney “Pete” Stark (as in “raving mad) from (where else) KAHLIFONIA once called “Boutique Medicine” (cute, huh?) by bypassing the universal system, not getting that needed treatment will be the least of your problems.
Use some of those free cell phone long distance minutes and call the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and give YOUR congresscritter a piece of your mind while it’s still legal to do so.
And if you’re one of those NPR listeners who thinks “congress is pissing away our grandkids’ legacy (BTW, it;s already GONE!), doesn’t listen to us, wastes our “money,” refuses to close the borders, deport the illegals, etc., etc., ad nauseum — BUT MY CRITTER’S ONE OF THE GOOD GUYS” — check him out at http://www.gradegov.com/. Be sure you’re sitting down.
Stay strong and remember, WE SURROUND THEM! Let’s start acting like it!!
PS: Representative Fleming of Louisiana has introduced a House Resolution REQUIRING ANY MEMBER WHO VOTES FOR UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE TO DROP HIS FULL BENEFIT GOVERNMENT HEALTHCARE PLAN AND COME INTO THE NEW PLAN WITH THE REST OF US.
GO TO FLEMING’S SITE AT http://fleming.house.gov/
AND SIGN HIS PETITION (ABOUT MIDWAY DOWN THE PAGE IN THE CENTER).
WHILE YOU’RE ON THE HOUSE SITE, LET YOUR GUY KNOW YOU THINK THAT’S A GOOD THING AND HE NEEDS TO SIGN ON AS A CO-SPONSOR OF FLEMING’S BILL?
“OBAMA’s pay check is signed by Lucifer himself....and America remains clueless”
How right you are my friend.
I won’t go so far as to say he is the antichrist himself. He will have to impress the world a whole lot more with his intellect and knowledge than he is doing now to fit the position, and so far, all he is doing is showing he is an idiot, a butt-kissing appeaser, and he throws a baseball like my sister. A popular idiot, but an idiot. The antichrist won’t need a teleprompter.
But the spirit of the antichrist I feel, is in him and he is paving the way for bigger things to come. Since Obama was elected things seem to be moving way too fast not to see that something BIG, and terrifying has been set in motion. Something apocalyptic set loose, something foreseen by the prophet Daniel.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
I have never seen such stupidity in congress, and that is saying a bit. First the massive act of Random spending. Now this massive government take over of the entire health care industry. The bureaucracy they create in the name of establishing efficiency in health care is a joke. Bureaucracy and regulation NEVER leads to cost savings. It is like applying the brake and going up hill and expecting the car to accelerate. It is just insane.
Who really like the health insurance industry anyway? They’re just greedy and take your money.
At least we will still live in a free country where I can choose any of hundreds of TV programs to watch.
Yay USA USA USA USA!
Random spending?
I think it only appears that way.
When you look for it, you’ll see that the spending
is de facto reparations.
Look at who’s payin’ and who’s gettin’.
No Private Insurance.
No Fee for Service.
No “unproven” treatments.
Hospice for the “last year of life”.
Dana-Farber, the children will miss you.

Only if his teleprompter is working.
Despite overwhelming numbers of Americans telling the Congress they don't want government run (lack of) health care, Congress intends to steamroll this through to please their Lord and Master, the MIGHTY O!!!!
Are we ready to take our country AND our GOVERNMENT back, yet??? How many MORE insults to our Constitution will we tolerate from these out-of-control thieves?? How many more times will we allow them to spit on our flag before we declare "enough is enough!!"??
Why are the stupid insurance cos. cooperating with this pile of shit? The AMA plans to amendment it to death in conference, but it may be too late by then. they should have just said nothing.
