While I am totally against this healthcare plan I think the twitter person misread this one:

Pg 29 lines 4-16 in the HC bill - YOUR HEALTHCARE IS RATIONED!!!

They are talking about the limitation on the amount of cost sharing money paid by an individual ($5,000) and a family ($10,000) in a given year. At least as far as I can tell that is what they are talking about in that area of the healthcare bill.

(2) ANNUAL LIMITATION.—
4 (A) ANNUAL LIMITATION.—The cost-shar
5 ing incurred under the essential benefits pack
6 age with respect to an individual (or family) for
7 a year does not exceed the applicable level spec
8 ified in subparagraph (B).

9 (B) APPLICABLE LEVEL.—The applicable
10 level specified in this subparagraph for Y1 is
11 $5,000 for an individual and $10,000 for a
12 family. Such levels shall be increased (rounded
13 to the nearest $100) for each subsequent year
14 by the annual percentage increase in the Con
15 sumer Price Index (United States city average)
16 applicable to such year.

So if I’m (an individual) limited to $5,000 for better service how is that not rationing?...it’s actually worse.
