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.

Send to everyone in your email list.
bttt
I'm going to write my Congressman and dirtbag Senators and include every point listed.
I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK!
Obama says “you can keep your existing insurance!” Yeah right:
SEC. 102. PROTECTING THE CHOICE TO KEEP CURRENT COVERAGE.
(a) Grandfathered Health Insurance Coverage Defined- Subject to the succeeding provisions of this section, for purposes of establishing acceptable coverage under this division, the term `grandfathered health insurance coverage’ means individual health insurance coverage that is offered and in force and effect before the first day of Y1 if the following conditions are met:
(1) LIMITATION ON NEW ENROLLMENT-
(A) IN GENERAL- 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 Y1.
(2) LIMITATION ON CHANGES IN TERMS OR CONDITIONS- Subject to paragraph (3) and except as required by law, the issuer does not change any of its terms or conditions, including benefits and cost-sharing, from those in effect as of the day before the first day of Y1.
Translation: Existing insurance coverage will be grandfathered in only if it is frozen and doesnt allow any new members.

Wow! This thread is a keeper!
Page 378, Care will be on a state by state basis. Care under the plan must be obtained from doctors and providers within your state.
Citizens of Bristol Virginia and other southwest Virginia communities and counties will not be able to access their hospital in Bristol Tennessee or other Tri Cities Tennessee hospitals and must go to Roanoke for high level treatment.
BTW, family planning in the bill is the code word for abortion.
NO Obamacare
Contact your Congress critters!

Thanks that makes it so easy!
I believe, but cannot state with certainty, that it is where the Dr. makes the decision to stop doing what he can to save your life. In other words, all life support is removed and no aid or medical care will be given to the patient.
“The Republicans and blue dog dems are keeping their spines straight!”
What is REALLY going on here is that the democrats want to hold OFF until after the next elections....they can claim that they stopped this....and if they can hold on to a majority they will then FORCE this Socialist crap onto us.
Thanks for the numbers. These clowns need to be reminded that this bill is just another way for communism to take hold in the USA.
