Following the mad recommendations of Peter Singer made in NYT's Sunday magazine, it pays to take a look at what is actually in the healthcare bill.
It's worse than you can possibly imagine. Somehow, it manages to be Singer on steroids. Who wrote this bill. It has Singer's footprints all over it.
Peter Fleckstein (aka Fleckman) is reading it and has been posting on Twitter his findings. This is from his postings (Note: All comments are Fleckman's)

Pg 494-498 Govt will cover Mental Health Svcs including defining, creating, rationing those svcs
Here's the full Health Care bill that sits in the House.
I'd suggezst taking this list with a grain of salt. Ive read the section about these orders, and though it's quite unconstitutional it doesn't give anyone in government "a say in how ur life ends."
Pre-existing conditions are accepted.
SEC. 111. PROHIBITING PRE-EXISTING CONDITION EXCLUSIONS.
A qualified health benefits plan may not impose any pre-existing condition exclusion (as defined in section 2701(b)(1)(A) of the Public Health Service Act) or otherwise impose any limit or condition on the coverage under the plan with respect to an individual or dependent based on any health status-related factors (as defined in section 2791(d)(9) of the Public Health Service Act) in relation to the individual or dependent.
So far so good. This is already standard for private group-health plans.
The problem is that ObamaCare will arbitrarily decide when to stop treating your condition due to “outcome based measures” (Sec 1162(3)(b)(ii)) of “comparative effectiveness research” (Sec 1181).
So basically if you too old or otherwise deemed undesirable, your treatments (kidney dialysis, etc) will simply be stopped.
>> Maybe its time for a whole raftload of conservative Americans to sign up for membership in ACORN-and start going to their meetings
Great benefits plus- wouldn’t that just make for some wonderful insider reporting <<
I like your idea, they can make an account here on free republic Like ACORN-SPY-#0001. Reporting from the front lines. Though will ACORN hire people who are already gainfully employed or self-employed??

I guess just wait few months and there will be more unemployed conservatives.
“TIME TO SURROUND WASHINGTON!!!!”
That is coming up and the date is September 12th.
Our side needs to FLOOD the TV and Internet with commercials highlighting the most horrific tenets of this bill. Read directly from it and then pictorialize it.
What was the name of the new “Czar”, who wrote a textbook advocating Eugenics? Is it the new science czar (or commissar might be a better word)? People like that are the ones making policy. I think a lot of these bills were written up by Marxist/leftists before Obama was ever elected.
If this passes, you can bet that the ones making life-and-death decisions will be petty bureaucrats—fat ACORN employees—who barely speak/write English, sit and pick their nails, and talk on the phone to their BF all day while rubber stamping document after document.
This bill has been written, in more or less this form, for forty years.
You just haven't been paying attention to the American communist movement. They have been clear...crystal clear...about their goals and objectives.
And, now, they think they have won and no one can stop them.
We shall see. Give it 12-18 months, and I think what TASS always used to refer to as the "correlation of forces" will have shifted just a bit.
What form that will take, it's too soon to know.
But the reds now in power don't have the force to apply that they think they do, and the contrary tendencies (real Americans) may turn out to be more powerful than this rabble in power can imagine.
Interesting times.
Yes it was him, Holdren or something equally close to Holder. His whole administration is full of such types.
“TIME TO SURROUND WASHINGTON!!!!”
With Torches and Pick forks
I’ve decided to ping you to threads FYI, feel free to request I cease.
This must be defeated and it's promoters removed from government.
It looks like a seagull about to dive-bomb an unsuspecting tourist with a "bird turd".
Cheers!
Cheers!

Thank you and please let us know your findings from your analysis.
This is a full out assault on our individual rights and freedoms.
I’m sorry — this bill makes the government a murdering beast. That means we have a horrible duty to preserve our own lives we may have to start taking theirs — that is the lives of the bureaucrats and legislators and judges who would dare implement these murderous provisions called “End of Life”.
I do remember what happened to Terri Schindler. I will not allow it to happen to anyone I love.
(what will it take for the millions of American drones to wake up, or will they never?)
