This is absolutely absurd, no matter your political affiliation.

Contact your Representatives and let them know how you feel about this…Another 500 pages to go. Below are a few of the items that are downright unconstitutional

(EDITED TO ADD)

Source

The source is the healthcare bill itself, I looked up a few of the pages on the bill to correlate
to this list and the few I checked were indeed in the bill, though some of the pages I checked were
off by one or two pages from the content, there have been some revisions of the bill and I do not
know which revision this list was created from.

The author of this particular list is unknown, just got it in an email and it made me mad.

More people need to know some of the crap the politicians are trying to sneak in this damn thing.

Also, although the bill does not name ACORN specifically, instead it says "community organizations".

The bill does not mention ACORN by name but does mention "community organizations".  Might be acorn, might not, but if not, then it is something similar.

As a physician I can tell you there is NO way I am going to be a government employee. As for fixiing my salary so that  an Ophthalmic surgeon with 30 years experience gets the same salary as a first year GP .. Aint going to happen. They may pass it, but the doctor's arn't going to sign on.

This isn't like the air traffic controlers that could be replaced with retrained people in 90 days. Take me for example, I spent 8 years after college training for my specialty. I have 30 years experience in ocular surgery. You are not going to replace me  in 90 days.

At 59 I would love to work another 9 or 10 years, employing my 19 people and paying taxes. But you try and put me on a salary, make me a gov't employee and screw it, I will live in a smaller house, retire, and go fishing.

Anybody else here see the Fox report on the patient who went blind in England because they wouldnt give him an injection in his eye to prevent blindness.?  Right now it would take all of  a half an hour for me to get him treatment. This is what our future holds....

Wasn't there a book about this? 1984 by George Orwell?

People wake up we no longer have rights Big Brother is going to watch every thing we do, between this bill and Cap and Trade the federal government will have totally scraped Constitution.

Looking at the bill, I don't read it that way. It sounds like it is requiring electronic funds transfer for payments of claims to healthcare providers, i.e. the .gov is not going to send checks.

To provide affordable, quality health care for all Americans
and reduce the growth in health care spending, and
for other purposes.


This is the header to the Obamacare medicine bill, I just can not help but wonder....WTF does "and for other purposes" really mean. I have never seen another bill like that.


I am reading this turd now, right there on page 16 it states that the insurance companies can not sign up any new customers after  "Y1" That will effectively put out of business and employment all start up offices and sales employees to all medical insurance companies.

i saw a report on Macular Degeneration patient. only the problem it wasn't logistical or a matter of something being amiss. it was reported that in England the patient is REQUIRED to lose sight in one eye before they treat the other.
