White House offers information on proposes health care reform

I see this mantra repeated a lot on my favorite website (other than allnurses of course) democraticunderground. The fact of the matter is that there have been other ideas presented that were largely drawn up by guys like Ryan, Kyl, Coburn etc. The plans require more personal accountability and less government involvement. Due to the current liberal majority in the legislative and executive branches, the alternative solutions have been ignored because they do not involve increasing the power of the government.

I cannot see how anyone who has actually read Barry’s bill can come away and give it their support. I think Tiggerforhim is on to something! Marx could not have done a better job if he had written this bill himself. “From each according to his ability to each according to his need” is the basic theme of this crazed document.

A couple of snippets from the goodies that can be found inside….

-Government committees to decide on treatments
-Mandatory requirement for private insurance to participate in the healthcare exchange
-An appointment of a Healthcare commissioner to decide health benefits for you (we have more czars in the USA now than mother Russia ever had)
-Section 1401 alone is one of the silliest strings of consonants and vowels I have ever seen!
-Hospitals being monetarily penalized if big brother does not deem you followed their treatment plan
Seriously man, the hits just keep on coming the more you get into this thing. I encourage people to go a step beyond their elected officials and actually read this thing.

By the way, nothing in the government is efficient. Take a look at the Postal Service. Another government entity that asks for more money each year,yet continues to provide the American public with unpredictable and lackluster service.

Just like a democratic to make someone else do their homework for them. Okay, you twisted my arm far enough. I will do it for you. But, you still need to read the ‘book’. My Cliff Notes are not meant to be a substitute for all of the insanity described in this plan. Read pages 84, 42, 30, 280. That will get you started and reference my “simply false” facts.

Oh this is one of my personal favorites, the government will have direct access to individual bank accounts for electronic funds transfer of payments to them. Yeah, read page 59 too.

Here is the bill….
