What is in the heathcare reform bill?

        We're Kip and Esa and we're here to tell the world what we found out about Obama's healthcare bill and exactly what we think about it!


Kip:    Obama's heathcare plan is talked about a lot, but really, what is it and what is in it? Here are some things it really contains, written in normal English:

• A government committee will decide what treatments and benefits you get (and, unlike an insurer, there will be no appeals process) pg-30
• The "Health Choices Commissioner" will decide health benefits for you. You will have no choice. None. pg-42
• All non-US citizens, illegal or not, will be provided with free healthcare services. pg-50
• The federal government will have direct, real-time access to all individual bank accounts for electronic funds transfer. pg-59
• Taxpayers will subsidize all union retiree and community organizer health plans (example: SEIU, UAW and ACORN)  pg-65
• All private healthcare plans must conform to government rules to participate in a Healthcare Exchange.  All private healthcare plans must participate in the Healthcare Exchange (i.e., total government control of private plans) pg-72 and 84
• No company can sue the government for price-fixing. No "judicial review" is permitted against the government monopoly. Put simply, private insurers will be crushed. pg-124
• The AMA sold doctors out: the government will set wages. pg-127
• An employer MUST auto-enroll employees into the government-run public plan. No alternatives. pg-145

Esa:    First off, let me just say that when I saw this list, I was horrified. Scared. My distrust (and hate, don't forget that) of Obama doubled, tripled, and quadripled within five seconds. This is an evil bill. This is pure evil.


A government committee decides what you get? Oh! That's a perfectly brilliant idea! And if you manage to bug one of those people on the committee, yes, yes, of course they won't abuse their power!

What principle was this country founded on? What principle have countless men, women, children, civilians, and soldiers died for? What principle has Obama taken away in passing this horrible, awful bill? Freedom. He's taking away our freedom, our precious freedom worth more than diamonds, gold, or even healthcare. The freedom to choose what we want to do, what we want to try, what we are willing to die for and he's replaced it with this mockery of a reform. Take a look at the second bullet and you see in red italics, "You will have no choice. None." Heaven help us when we are defeated by corrupt men in suits. Heaven help us when we're the ones who elected them.

Do you think I have a lot to say so far? Well, I'm only on the second bullet. I'd go on, except I'm pretty sure high blood pressure is not good for me, so I'll just wrap it up and say, hope you live in a state that's planning on suing the government.

I also hope that if--when--it goes to the Supreme Court, there'll still be more conservatives than liberals. (Not dissing liberals here, (I'll do that later), but it's practically a given that liberals will vote in favor of the bill and conservatives won't.)
