It's a whitewashed Bill that the American people do not understand. It is presented as a "good thing" but it is NOT!
This Bill is detrimental to our Nation!
People seem to think this means all will receive FREE Health care. WRONG!!! You have to PAY for it. They have disguised it as a
tax and IRS has been given the authority to collect your debt.
If you do NOT pay your tax payment for your medical care, for ANY reason (unemployment?), you will be subject to up to a
$250,000 fine and up to 5 years imprisonment!!!
This is found in the New IRS Tax Code, a bill passed on Friday.
Sure, there are some good points, such as enforcing Insurance companies to take everyone on with prexisting conditions.
Understand, this bill does NOT give everyone medical care! It gives everyone the right to
purchase the
medical insurance of your choice, without being discriminated upon.
It is also MANDATORY and they would not accept the Amendments presented, giving people or states the right to "opt out".
I have been following this for a while, watching the Senate and Congress meetings on CSPAN. The past 2 days and nights, I have not been on CS at all, as I devoted my entire time to viewing these proceedings, without any distractions.
People, you have no idea what this Bill really means.
You will begin paying your taxes on this health care plan on January 1, 2010 and you will NOT receive coverage until 2013.
People, you have been scammed by your elected officials. They have hidden the real truth from you.
Also, there are limitations of benefits. You must pay for the "basic" plan. Should your requirements for certain medical conditions be unavailable from the basic plan, you may upgrade to the higher cost plans,
IF you can afford it.
The plans also have spending limits for your care. You can only spend so much over a certain time limit. Some limits are for 2, 3, or 5 years.
You can Download the PDF file of this bill online. (I did!) Read all 1990 pages of it for yourself!!!
Oh, and they are telling the American people that illegals will not receive coverage. So I guess this is why the Rules Committee had such a long discussion over this and ruled that
"undocumented" (they said they prefered this term to illegal alien) persons may purchase the insurance plan of their choice and pay for it out of their own pocket.

Many Congresspersons wanted to "send them back", after all, they are illegal! But they argued that much of the high cost incurred for Medical Care was due to undocumented persons receiving emergency care and not paying for it. Taxpayers would be stuck paying their bill. So let's include an option for them to purchase their own insurance!
THEY AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE HERE!!!! Now think about it Americans...
Is this what YOU really want???
Is this what the American People want?
I say
"NO!!"Yes, we want Health Care available for all, but this Bill left many loop holes for fraud and malpractice. It needs more accountability to protect the American people. These ideas were exchanged, but refused.
It is not Law YET! It still needs to pass the Senate and undergo some other reviews in Congress before being presented to Obama to sign. I suggest contacting your Senators and make these points clear to them. Vote NO to this Bill as it is written. It needs many changes!
Thank you,
