Highlights from the ObamaCare Bill: A Free Report on "Free" Health Insurance.
Aug. 1, 2009
The complete text of H.R. 3200 is here. You will not read all 1017 pages. Neither has your Congressman. Neither have your Senators. Neither has the President.
This is why, on July 31, when the bill finally was voted out of committee, House Democrats were handed a card with the "good" highlights, so that they could memorize them. Then they were asked by Nancy Pelosi to go back to their districts and persuade voters to support the bill. She told them: "The president of the United States will be out front as the drum major. We will be the drumbeat across America."
I march to the beat of a different drum.
Here are some of the bad highlights. After you read them, you will begin to see what you will be facing if this bill passes.
As you read each of them, ask yourself two questions: (1) What will be the effect on the supply of future physicians? (2) What will be the effect on the demand for medical services?
At the end of the list, there is a link to my report, Ten Things You Had Better Do Within 30 Days After ObamaCare Becomes Law. Let us hope that it does not become law.
This list was prepared by Larry Schweikart.
