The land of the free?????? This bill is beyond anything in my wildest nightmares.
It will actually become beneficial to give up my US citizenship.
I did not think I would live to see this.
Are we still the home of the brave??? Then let’s fight this like our freedoms depend on it!!
I was wondering why the cash clinics that do not accept insurance in Wal-Mart mysteriously shut down.
What is amazing is that the Obots seem perfectly willing to follow Obama off of the marxist cliff and watch this country go down in economic flames. They would rather live in bondage to a marxist government than get rid of their flat screen and buy insurance. We could buy private healthcare insurance for every single person that doesn’t have it for a lot less money. This isn’t about healthcare to Obama and the democrats...it is about power and marxist control.
WAKE UP AMERICA!!
WE WANT OUR COUNTRY BACK!!
Yeah they can’t balance their way out of their own check books nor half of em pay taxes and they will be CFO’s of all businesses?
FRIGHTENING!!!
The UN is just another tool invented to take our eyes off the ball. (like Obama)

The implication is that health care would stop the person from going bankrupt. It might delay the bankruptcy but not stop it. The biggest effect of health issues is a decrease in income which leads to the inability to keep prior commitments.
2. Health care will be rationed. Rationed > none, which many people can't afford....
The implication is that those without insurance have no health care. This is a false premise. Those without insurance receive health care for free. However, those without health care have their services rationed compared to those without. If for example, 15% of the population was without insurance, then 15% are being rationed. If this plan passes, in a short time, 100% of the people's health care will be rationed.
3. No incentives for doctors of all kinds to become doctors or to stay in the medical profession because salaries will be capped.< Doctors actually care about helping people, not everyone is money hungry.
The implication is that there are plenty of talented people who will become doctors rather than something else. If the costs of schooling and specializations and establishing practices were not offset by healthy income, the supply of doctors will decrease.
4. Enormous taxes for everybody in order to pay for universal health care. Refer to point 1.
This refer to point 1 implies that the only issue is the tax cost. Government does a terrible job purchasing goods and services. It is inefficient, subject to scandals and misappropriation by politicians. In essence we are adding another layer of cost on top of a health care system.
5. Patients will wait months and years for care. This will especially hurt the elderly the most. The elderly will die waiting for care. This already happens, plus people will be welcome at all hospitals instead of those just approved by their health insurance.
I have not met an elderly person who died waiting for health care. Under this plan, the incentive for the government is to throw enough red tape in the works (something government is real good at) to cause many to die waiting for care. As for access under current plans, most allow full access or simply a larger deductible for out of net work service.
6. No guarantee illegal aliens will not be recipients of health care that American taxpayers (you and me) will pay through the nose for. For the better of mankind. Funny how you preach peace and humanity yet you feel it is alright to deny someone good health. I think you need to re-think your morals.
This is one area where we can see savings. Mexicans may do better or as well in their own country getting health care.
7. Government bureaucrats will determine who will receive care and who won't. Won't everyone receive care, how is it that your worried that illegal aliens will get it but you won't?...
Health care will get rationed if government is involved. Simple see what the veterans homes and hospitals are like.
8. Health care will no longer be determined by doctors and their patients but be run by a nameless faceless government bureaucracy. You act like medicare or medicaid doesn't have horrible issues as is.
Medicaid is coverage for the uninsured and is rationed as explained before. Medicare is mandated but its effect on the whole health care system is not complete. Doctors and patients are still able to thrive in the remaining market.
If your so worried about the costs of such things, why don't we start taxing churches, that should bring in some $100 billion+
Why not all charities, and why not taxing the states too?
He says the one of the things stopping their revolution was the logistics of exterminating 25 million Americans.
What a good little commie....he must get the Times on his doorstep since those replies are simply repeated ad nauseum by the propagandists who lay claim to others people’s money and overall best interests.
I fear those self-righteous types the most since they hide behind a cloak of “morality” thus disguising their true intentions which eventually lead to eroding liberty and gaining control.

Has anybody verified this? When I see something deliverd in kidspeak texting gibberish, I’m suspicious, not that the claims aren’t certainly very believable.
End. This. Bill.
I take it you don’t twitter? Fleckman was posting his reading of the bill page by page on Twitter, you are limited to the # of characters..... personally I think the message is more important than how it is delivered.
IT gives poor and minorities first choice over medical schools, nursing schools, etc., says it (the government) will tell doctors where they will do their residency, mandatory end of life counseling but no abortion counseling, covers illegals, and more...... Fleckman has done yoeman’s work going through the first 700 pages.
READ the BILL.
This is the problem everyone sits around waiting for Zero to tell them what they should think.
No real surprises. But, damn!
oh... speaking of the courts — did you read the part in the bill about lawyers being able to sue third parties on behalf of medicare without even asking or being asked to do so by medicare?
Then read the bill. The guy was texting it from twitter. I’ve read the actual bill and this is really much easier and it is accurate.
Seems this entire administration is riddled with people we all laughed at and said “no one takes that kook serious”...... well the last laugh is on us.
