Look Here to See What’s in the Health Care Bill: CHILLING!
Take a look at what actually is in the Health Care bill. Obama makes disingenuous comments like “You’ll still keep your doctor” or “You’ll keep your existing health care.” He is either lying to us or he has no idea what is in it. Take a peek at the full report, or look at some of the highlights here:
Pg 22 of the HC Bill mandates the Government will audit books of all employers that self insure. Can you imagine what that will do to small businesses? Every one will abandon “self insurance” and go on Government insurance. So when Obama says that there will still be private health care, it’s simply a lie: this mandate will force employers to abandon their private plans.
Pg 30 Sec 123 of HC bill – a Government committee (good luck with that!) will decide what treatments/benefits a person may receive.
Pg 29 lines 4-16 in the HC bill – YOUR HEALTHCARE WILL BE RATIONED! (We all knew this, because health care is rationed in Canada and Britain, but Obama kept saying it would not be).
Pg 42 of HC Bill – The Health Choices Commissioner will choose your HC Benefits for you. You will have no choice!
PG 50 Section 152 in HC bill – HC will be provided to ALL non US citizens, illegal or otherwise.
Pg 58 HC Bill – Government will have real-time access to individual’s finances and a National ID Healthcard will be issued!
Pg 59 HC Bill lines 21-24 Government will have direct access to your bank accts for election funds transfer
PG 65 Sec 164 is a payoff subsidized plan for retirees and their families in Unions & community organizations (read: ACORN).
Pg 72 Lines 8-14 Government will create an HC Exchange to bring private HC plans under Government control.
PG 84 Sec 203 HC bill – Government mandates ALL benefit packages for private HC plans in the Exchange.
PG 85 Line 7 HC Bill – Specifics of Benefit Levels for Plans = The Government will ration your Healthcare!
PG 91 Lines 4-7 HC Bill – Government mandates linguistic appropriate services. Example – Translation for illegal aliens.
Pg 95 HC Bill Lines 8-18 The Government will use groups, i.e. ACORN & Americorps, to sign up individuals for Government HC plan.
PG 85 Line 7 HC Bill – Specifics of Benefit Levels for Plans. AARP members – your Health care WILL be rationed.
-PG 102 Lines 12-18 HC Bill – Medicaid Eligible Individuals will be automatically enrolled in Medicaid. No choice.
pg 124 lines 24-25 HC No company can sue Government on price fixing. No “judicial review” against Government Monopoly.
pg 127 Lines 1-16 HC Bill – Doctors/ AMA – The Government will tell YOU what you can earn.
Pg 145 Line 15-17 An Employer MUST auto enroll employees into public option plan. NO CHOICE.
Pg 126 Lines 22-25 Employers MUST pay for HC for part time employees AND their families.
Pg 149 Lines 16-24 ANY Employer with payroll $400k & above who does not provide public option pays 8% tax on all payroll.
pg 150 Lines 9-13 Businesses with payroll between $251k & $400k who don’t provide public option pay 2-6% tax on all payroll.
Pg 167 Lines 18-23 ANY individual who doesn’t have acceptable HC according to Government will be taxed 2.5% of income.
Pg 170 Lines 1-3 HC Bill Any NONRESIDENT Alien is exempt from individual taxes. (Americans will pay.)
Pg 195 HC Bill -officers & employees of HC Admin (the GOVERNMENT) will have access to ALL Americans’ finances and personal records.
PG 203 Line 14-15 HC – “The tax imposed under this section shall not be treated as tax” Yes, it says that.
Pg 239 Line 14-24 HC Bill Government will reduce physician services for Medicaid. Seniors, low income, poor affected.
Pg 241 Line 6-8 HC Bill – Doctors – doesn’t matter what specialty – will all be paid the same.
PG 253 Line 10-18 Government sets value of Doctor’s time, professional judgment, etc. Literally, value of humans.
PG 265 Sec 1131Government mandates & controls productivity for private HC industries.
PG 268 Sec 1141 Federal Government regulates rental & purchase of power driven wheelchairs.
PG 272 SEC. 1145. TREATMENT OF CERTAIN CANCER HOSPITALS – Cancer patients – welcome to rationing!
Page 280 Sec 1151 The Government will penalize hospitals for what Government deems preventable readmissions.
Pg 298 Lines 9-11 Doctors who treat a patient during initial admission that results in a readmission – Government will penalize you.
Pg 317 L 13-20 OMG!! PROHIBITION on ownership/investment. Government tells Doctors what/how much they can own.
Pg 317-318 lines 21-25,1-3 PROHIBITION on expansion – Government will mandate hospitals cannot expand.
pg 321 2-13 Hospitals have opportunity to apply for exception BUT community input required. Can u say ACORN?!
Pg335 L 16-25 Pg 336-339 – Government mandates establishment of outcome-based measures which of course forces health care rationing.
Pg 341 Lines 3-9 Government has authority to disqualify Medicare Adv Plans, HMOs, etc., forcing people into Government plan.
Pg 354 Sec 1177 – Government will RESTRICT enrollment of Special needs people!
Pg 379 Sec 1191 Government creates more bureaucracy – Telehealth Advisory Committee. HC by phone.
PG 425 Lines 4-12 Government mandates Advance Care Planning Consultations. Think Senior Citizens end of life prodding.
Pg 425 Lines 17-19 Government will instruct & consult regarding living wills, durable powers of attorney. Mandatory!
PG 425 Lines 22-25, 426 Lines 1-3 Government provides approved list of end of life resources, guiding you in how to die.
PG 427 Lines 15-24 Government mandates program for orders for end of life. The Government has a say in how your life ends.
Pg 429 Lines 1-9 An “advanced care planning consultant” will be used frequently as patients’ health deteriorates.
PG 429 Lines 10-12 “advanced care consultation” may include an ORDER for end of life plans. AN ORDER from the Government to end a life!
Pg 429 Lines 13-25 – The Government will specify which Doctors can write an end of life order.
PG 430 Lines 11-15 The Government will decide what level of treatment you will have at end of life.
Pg 469 – Community Based Home Medical Services/Non profit orgs. (ACORN Medical Services here?)
Page 472 Lines 14-17 PAYMENT TO COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATION. 1 monthly payment to a community-based organization. (Like ACORN?)
PG 489 Sec 1308 The Government will cover Marriage & Family therapy. Which means they will insert Government into our marriages.
Pg 494-498 Government will cover Mental Health Services including defining, creating, rationing those services. You’d better speak up now before you are on the “advanced care consultation” list.
Recently I had a talk with a colleague (one on my side of the aisle) about the increasingly dire threat posed to this country by the unholy trinity of Obama/Reid-Pelosi/ and the media. The upshot of this person’s question to me was, “What can you say that will give me some hope? Some optimism? Is there a way we can reach the kids, the students, and the younger people?”
We aren’t quite “done” yet, but the old thermometer is edging up by the day, and I don’t mean global warming. Cap and Trade (i.e., “cap and tax”) has passed the House and our hopes of avoiding federal enviro-nazis swooping into our homes and clamping down “do not sell” restrictions on our houses until we comply with their inane regulations hangs on the votes of a few left-wing Democrat senators who in the past have shown no inclination to challenge Harry Reid. (You see, the Democrat Party has this habit of actually punishing so-called “mavericks” who criticize Dem leadership.) Real-life Gong-Show refugees such as Al Franken now will vote on your right to drive what you want and eat what you want. But that’s only the tip of the iceberg.
There is new twitter about the C02 pollution of computers. Once the computer becomes the next SUV, what sites, exactly, do you think will be deemed the most “polluting?” You got it: Drudge, FreeRepublic; Redstate; and a host of conservative sites. Guess which ones will be ok? Huffington Post, MSNBC, and Daily Kos.
But it gets worse: the National Socialist (that would be Nazi, if you were in Germany) Health Care system that is now about to come up for a vote will absolutely eliminate private health care options. Do not kid yourself: They are going to say that they aren’t going to interfere with your right to go to your “own doctor” or have your own “private health insurance.” But there won’t be non-government doctors or private health insurance if the government mandates them out of existence.
Do not forget that this was a major goal of Hillarycare just 15 years ago. Once people found out, it caused a firestorm – but times have changed. The media was atrocious then, but it’s a 100 percent propaganda machine for the Left today. A few holdouts, such as Fox and Rush, remind me of the brave Dutch shouting at the storm troopers before they were gunned down. If Health Care or Cap and Tax fail, the media will see it as the failure of their guy, and in their view, Obama must not be allowed to fail.
Even still, I hear people who want to “get past all this partisanship.” Sorry, but GROW UP.
Our system from the beginning has pitted one group against another out of fear of the very giant government that is metastasizing before our eyes. James Madison didn’t like “parties” or “factions,” but he finally admitted that they were absolutely necessary to fragment power. In Washington today, however, we nearly have one political party: the Democrats, who march in lock step with Obama while the cowardly Republicans who, aside from a few heroes (John Kyl, Jeff Sessions, Jim DeMint come to mind in the Senate, and most of those remaining in the House), are merely “me-too Democrats.”
For our system to work there has to be a clear choice, not a mushy middle, because the mushy middle always, always, always gravitates left. There is a “presumption of power” on the left –conservatives, by nature, do not like government, don’t trust it, and do not want to use it to advance their ends, which they see as advanced through liberty, individual achievement, and entrepreneurship.
If Republicans do not unite 100 percent –and soon – behind the idea that the unholy trinity must be stopped dead or we will not have the American Republic that we have all known all our lives, it may soon be too late. Maybe it’s time all of you got just a little mad.

Its sad that America is not aware of all the things that are in the Health Care Bill.
I’m so happy I ran across your website. I’ve taken notes on it and believe me,
I’ll be emailing my Congressmen and telling them how I feel about it. This
country is headed towards Socialism, and I believe that was Obama’s agenda
from the beginning. At least I can say I didn’t vote for Obama, so I have the
right to say “I told you so when this country goes to hell”.
America needs to wake up!!
July 26th, 2009 at 10:41 am
This is not a very large surprise to those of us who have read the entire bill. It’s disgusting. However, what is more disgusting is that emails/phonecalls and other communications to our representatives either go unanswered or a form email is sent telling us how good it is for us–with the exception of Speaker Pelosi. Apparently she does not accept email as her mailbox is full.
The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

The above hysteria masquerading as fact was the full substance of an wingnut email recently circulated. You people are choice. Why is it that all of your zombie emails are a riot of different sized fonts and wild colors, as if it were something prepared by a kindergarten class? Anyway, the insurance companies are already playing god with our health, e.g., arbitrary rising of premiums, deciding which drugs/treatments will be “ok’ed” and which denied. Of course, the government itself deciding still other facets of our healthcare. Wouldn’t it be more productive to examine and critique this existing and lamentable situation rather than send nutjob emails talking fearfully about “National Socialist Healthcare”? You idiots are not serious, just fearful, bigoted and pathetically misinformed.
July 27th, 2009 at 10:51 am
RX, You waste time complaining about colors and do not address the issue! The facts are clearly stated and if you cannot grasp them then you are truly worthhy of Obama!
July 29th, 2009 at 9:06 am
it is so sad what is happening to this country. he slow taking over everything. we’ll prob be a third world country by the time he’s done with us. i am not a racist, i just hate democrats every single one of them. being worthy of obama? dude, seriously if your trying to kiss butt to obama its not working that good. i don’t see you getting nominated for his right hand man. what do you seriously think he can do for us? you liberals are insane.

Dear Management,
I am a died-in-the wool Democrat and was most anxious to have them take power after the fiasco that was George Bush. I was unsure about the Health Care Proposal because the media seemed scarce on details of the plan.
Based on the above highlights/lowlights of the above, I am firmly against the propose HC bill as it exists today. Something needs to be done about healthcare but not at the plan currently exists.
I am a firm supporter of Obama but I say “NO” to the existing healthcare bill.
Sincerely,
Karen S. Ottersen, CPA

There are three major issues with The governments plan for healthcare.
1. It is put together by a bunch of power hungry people who think all citizens are idiots.
2. It does nothing to address the actual costs of healthcare except by allowing them to not spend the money.
3. It is run by the governement, not only have they driven medicare into the ground, and made a society that have a medicaid card think their PCP is the Emergency Dept. But who will regulate them? When they say they will not pay for a procedure whom do you complain to? Right now you can legally take a health care insurance company to court, or get pressure form the government by making friends with your congressman. Did you know you have to get the governments permission to bring a civil lawsuit against them?
How about caps on lawsuit claims, hell in most other countries that have the typ of healthcare the current political climate is trying to drive us towards they don’t even allow you to sue a doctor.
How about opening up regulation so that there are a variety of more plans out there for people to choos from from people that only want catastrophic health insurance so they don’t go bankrupt and services are paid for to those who want a plan that covers everything.
I am not too thrilled with the idea of mandating everyone have some health insurance, and certainly not a governement but instead of proposing this monster why not propose that the governement healthcare plan be a catastrophic plan would be a hell of a lot cheaper and more practical. BTW those who say you can’t pay for a checkup are full of BS I had a period of time when I had no insurance and I went to my PCP office I had to pay cash, for teh full checkup it was less than $200, if you can afford an iPod you can pay for medical stuff out of pocket. Guess what when I had no insurance and I got sick and went to the MD it cost me less than $100 for the visit. Medicine was a slightly different story, but it’s a different topic all together anyways, well I have to go. just some random thoughts for fodder on this subject.

I am a Canadian Doctor. The government run system in our province is very generous and because it is almost a total single payor system my overhead is less than 10% because of the single payor system and because I only pay $1000.00/ year in liabilty insurance. I am rewarded for spending more time with patients and I am never penalized for re-admissions to hospital. I have looked at your median income for Family Physicians and I and my colleagues make at least twice that amount.
All seniors in our Province get a great prescription plan and if a treatment is required for any one, the ability to pay is NEVER factored into the Physician’s decision. People in our Country live longer than do people in the U.S. and we have almost no bankruptcies attributed to health care costs. In the U.S. personal bankruptcy is often due to health care costs. In many of your States the infant mortality rate is the same as a third world country.
When I treat patients from the U.S. I write most of the billings off if they don’t pay me up front because the U.S. insurance companies flood us with paperwork and more paperwork and in the end they still don’t pay.
WHAT MR. LIDDY DOESN’T TELL YOU IS THAT WHEN YOU ARE SITTING ACROSS FROM A DOCTOR IN THE U.S., DO YOU REALLY NEED WHAT IS BEING OFFERED OR IS IT BECAUSE THE DOCTOR IS IN HUGE DEBT AND MAKES MONEY OFF EVERYTHING HE/SHE SUGGESTS. REMEMBER A CT SCAN OF THE ABDOMEN IS THE EQUIVALENT OF 500 CHEST XRAYS YET IN THE U.S. IT IS ALMOST PART OF A ROUTINE EXAM FOR ABDOMINAL PAIN. PROSTATE CANCER IS BEST TREATED WITH RADIATION PELLETS RATHER THAN PROSTATECTOMY YET IN THE U.S. PATIENTS THAT I HAVE SEEN ALL GET EXPENSIVE PROSTATECTOMIES WHICH OFTEN LEAVE THEM IMPOTENT AND INCONTINENT.
So please educate yourself on health care don’t listen to these Corporate shills. Even wealthy Mr. Liddy thinks he is getting great health care when it is more likely that when he goes for care the physicians just see dollar signs. I wonder how much radiation exposure he has suffered with no benefit and a real increase in the risk of leukemia. Remember your country is 27th( last time I checked) in public education in the world and the U.S. is ranked much lower than Canada on every measure of health care performance except in cost as a percent of GDP where you are well ahead of us and we are happy that it is you and not us. Your government should be trying to improve both your educational system and your health care system yet the Republicans like Mr. Liddy just care about themselves.
So stop thinking you have the best health care system in the world because you don’t. In Canada our system isn’t perfect but it is a heck of a site better than yours.

Did any of you actually read the bill? These “facts” presented on this site are wrong. Apparently not. Who’s being duped here?
August 6th, 2009 at 10:14 am
Moron,
Leave it to a Liberal like you to decry the very words written in the Bill! I don’t have time to forge copies and for you to attempt to say that they don’t exist is laughable!
August 6th, 2009 at 4:57 pm

To the ignorant Canadian,
The quality of US healthcare is unmatched. Any and every procedure you perform on a daily basis can somehow be linked to US works. Before you speak on any forum involving US politics, please understand your place. Perhaps Canada’s healthcare is much more available and less costly due to the fact that you ignore your constantly weakening military and simply depend on the US for protection. I bet we would have a lot more money to spend if our NAVY consisted of 3 battleships.
August 9th, 2009 at 6:48 am
There are issues with the health care bill, yes, and I would prefer changes in certain aspects of it, but WHY ARE YOU LYING about the content of what is in the bill?
THE LINK IS AVAILABLE AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE TO THE ACTUAL TEXT OF THE BILL. The only thing you people have to do is click it and CHECK the specific sections that have been pointed out.
Here is a secret: MANY OF THE THINGS LARRY SCHWEIKART CLAIMS THE HC BILL SAYS ARE SIMPLY NOT TRUE. You do not need to listen to me. You do not need to point at me and say ‘liar’ to defend your position. All you have to do is double-check this post and the actual text of the HC bill.
When you read, READ THE ENTIRE SECTION LARRY HAS INDICATED. He has taken many things completely out of context (Pg 29, 30, 42, 58, 102, etc…) and if you do not read the entire section it may seem like he is telling the truth. READ CAREFULLY. He has also inserted random claims that have no basis in the actual text of the HC bill, particularly when he says things like “You will have no choice!” or randomly throws out the term “ACORN” (Pg 65, 91, 145, etc…).
This is for your own benefit. You being well-informed (not INCORRECTLY INFORMED) is to the benefit of your country. This guy is trying to scare and dupe you. It’s okay to hate the bill, but don’t hate it for something it is absolutely not.
August 9th, 2009 at 9:23 am
The headings are what is in the bill! Kate, I posted a copy of the Bill…guess what, the GOVERNMENT removed it! So much for their honesty!
August 9th, 2009 at 11:15 am
Actually, Lee, the link still works perfectly fine. You can click the link up top and see the bill right now. The headings are not taken from the bill. Some take parts of the heading, some add to the heading, some are a ’synopsis’ of what is under the headings. But the point is, you need to read the heading in context with the actual explanation of that heading to know what it actually means. I admire your passion but wish it weren’t pointed in such a skewed direction.
Go take a break for an hour, sit out back, weed your garden, whatever, then come back and read the sections listed above neutrally, without re-reading the description you have here of what they say. If you are still managing to mislead yourself from the plain english in the bill… well, good luck in life, I guess.

August 10th, 2009 at 6:51 pm
Go look at the Bill…Then tell me you support it! Bgodly…as a Pastor I do know chicanery when I see it…So…Who is the real loser? DUUUH
August 12th, 2009 at 1:23 am
Who’s paying you?
August 12th, 2009 at 11:00 am
Kev, I wish I was getting paid for the work I do on this blog but I get nothing except the satisfaction of thwarting Obama and the Liberal’s lies.
I am a Christian Pastor and retired. So, does that answer you?
August 14th, 2009 at 6:16 am
Has anyone read this bill!!! The facts stated on this site are wrong.. nowhere on page 127 does it talk about limiting the doctors salary.. look at all the pages.. they are all wrong.. this site is giving wrong information!!!
August 14th, 2009 at 9:26 am
Heather…These facts are NOT wrong! Much has been sricken iout of the Bill but ONCE, at the time of my posting, they were in.
Look at my latest posts repecting the Bill. I have read about one-half of it and continue to read. This is no reform offer it is the creation of public insurance and the creation of another Departmwent of Government with a pyaroll that will be in the BILLIONS!
Wake up and get the facts not their fallacious denials.
September 5th, 2009 at 7:34 am
Wow. Amazing how excerpts can skew facts. Read the bill folks. Do not believe summaries – regardless of which side presents them. Read it and then form your own opinion. Do become part of the masses that believe everything they get in their inbox. THINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 5th, 2009 at 7:35 am
ooops. I meant “do NOT become part of the masses”
September 5th, 2009 at 9:56 am
Read the Bill then get back to me. Interpret what is being said…I have.
November 21st, 2009 at 8:08 pm
Anyone believing that government is the answer is wrong, government is self promoting not self sufficient. Democrats and liberals in congress and the senate are not showing this bill for real reasons because it destroys our economy and adds huge taxes. Dont believe it when in your life did any politician republican or liberal ever pass a bill that came in under budget!!!
You will be rationed!!! and taxed!!!!
They will not even address “tort” reform because lawyers played a vital role in obamas election. Government will ration because they must cut costs somewhere and they will determine the benefits you receive. I heard it said by many liberals that look at the VA (veterans administration)for guidance on how government healthcare is a success. I go to the VA all the time and here is a simple example of them: I had testing done last March for a TBI and now it is November and I still do not have any results!!!

We are all victims of misdirection, we’re fighting and complaining to the wrong machine! These people have no real power, just as Bush did not! The Bilderberg group, trilateral commission,FRD…these are the adversaries, fortune 500 companies, lobbyists……….they are the real leaders! We should all wake up! as long as we’re looking at and fighting the mirage nothing will ever have a chance of changing.
