PLEASE HELP DISTRIBUTE: (send to other freepers, email, make flyers and hand out a meetings)
Does emailer unknown mean unknown or does it mean source redacted, as in for privacy purposes, or what?
Placemark
We can leaflet all we want but liberals will only hear “Free Healthcare”. Luckily, if the demoncrats push this through, they’ll be trounced easily in 2010 and this system can be dismantled before permanent damage is done.
big bump
Not saying there was a virus or anything just saying I didn't trust it.
privacy
Yeah, just like Roe v.Wade, Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, Title IX, Fed Welfare programs, the Income Tax, etc. etc. etc.
Need I go on?
You sending the Clif-Notes to Obama?
Maybe time to start planning to go Galt. Ooops, please don’t “flag” me.
Thank you.
Didn’t have a source linked....BUT thanks for linking the entire bill.
Maybe we can do the last 500 pages. We could break it up and do fifty pages each. Only ten freepers needed.
If interested claim your pages and report back in on this thread.
I will do Pg 100 thru 150.
LOL. That along with an herbal viagra email, a crop circle site and an article about transmigration of electrons in VLSI semiconductors.
Start with 500-550
This does the first 500 pages we need something for 500-1100.
Maybe we can do the last 500 pages of the bill. First 500 pages have been distributed in email. We could break the last pages up and do fifty pages each. Only ten freepers needed.
If interested claim your pages and report back in on this thread.
Entire bill posted here.

off to bed.
In other words the government is going to decide what vaccines we Must have?
What exactly ARE the "other" purposes? I want to know...UGH!!! I loathe these clowns in our pathetic Congress. ("Flag" that, Mr. President)...
Meant to say, the “wording of this leaves me curious.” Oops.
Bump for later.
bttt
I checked quite a few out and they are all correct so far. ID card, 2.5 percent tax, etc...
Thank you; Much appreciated. Want to take pages 550-600?
Page 503 The federal govt will have access to your healthcare records without your permission.
Page 1001 The federal govt will require registration of all implanted medical devices by serial number.
The page numbers of either link to the Bill .pdfs should match up fine. The problem comes into play where a few of these may be more "liberally" interpreted than what they should be. So you'll get to the page number and wonder why what is written there doesn't look anything like the posted list.
Other's may not make much sense because they modify existing code in other laws or regulations. For example:
(2) P(B) PARTICIPATING, NON-PREFERRED
11 PHYSICIANS.—Those physicians who agree not
12 to impose charges (in relation to the payment
13 rate described in section 223 for such physi
14 cians) that exceed the ratio permitted under
15 section 1848(g)(2)(C) of the Social Security
16 Act.
=========
Often time the section referred to will be a section in this bill. If so, you can just search on SEC. 911 (or whatever) and you should be able to find it. In this case here the "healthcare" bill is modifying something in Section 1848 of the Social Security Act. If you really want to be sure you can look that up and note your interpretation.
And don't feel that you aren't able to interpret what they are saying. Many times these idiots in congress don't read their own bills because they themselves have no idea what it's referring to.
welcome to Comrade Obama’s form of communism. Forget about “hope” and get ready for “chains.”

Where can you find the actual pages of the bill online?
(1) IN GENERAL.—There is established a pri
14 vate-public advisory committee which shall be a
15 panel of medical and other experts to be known as
16 the Health Benefits Advisory Committee to rec
17 ommend covered benefits and essential, enhanced,
18 and premium plans.
What KIND of "other experts"? Sounds like all the "experts" in everything BUT geology, physics and meteorology who make up the "consensus" on man made global warming.
See CIndy’s post above you.
5 ‘‘(D) enable the real-time (or near real
6 time) determination of an individual’s financial
7 responsibility at the point of service and, to the
8 extent possible, prior to service, including
9 whether the individual is eligible for a specific
10 service with a specific physician at a specific fa
11 cility, which may include utilization of a ma
12 chine-readable health plan beneficiary identi
13 fication card;
Another reference to rationing too, and more specific.
I’ll take 600-650
