"Obamacare" post going around on Facebook---these are the people Obama is compromising with
Here's the post in its entirety:




IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT?

This bill is NOT designed to better our health care system (the best in the world) but for government to (ultimately) completely take it over & control our economy, us through our personal choices-a long standing goal of the Liberal Progressives-look it up!

If this bill is SUPPOSED to lower costs & expand coverage to more people, then why the following...

1. 159 NEW government bureaucracies (offices) -expanded government, to run things-MORE COSTS!
2. 1/2 TRILLION in NEW TAXES on insurance premiums & medical devises-didn't HE promise LOWER taxes?
3. Of the supposed 30 million needing coverage, only 10 million will be added-what about the others?
4. Many will STILL be denied coverage on pre-existing conditions.
5. ABORTION will be covered-it is WRONG to make the public cover something they morally don't agree with!
6. 1/2 TRILLION cuts in medicare, elderly now, us later, that we've been paying on!
7. "Louisiana Purchase" & other special interest bribes-if bill so good, why were they needed?
8. 2 TRILLION dollars to begin to pay for this, during a recession, won't see any benefits for 4+ years!
9. Page 50/Line 152: Provision of coverage to all non-U.S. citizens!
10. Page 58 & 59: real-time access to your bank account/authority to make fund transfers!
11. Page 65/sect. 164: Will subsidize all union members, retires, community organizations (ACORN)!
12. Page 203/line 14-15: Tax imposed will not be treated as a tax (what?)!
13. Page 241/253: Dr's will be paid the same regardless of specialty, gov. will set dr's fees.
14. Page 272/section 1145: Cancer hospital will RATION care according to patient's AGE!
15. Page 317/321: Gov. impose a prohibition on hospital expansion.
16. 425/line 4-12:Gov. MANDATES advance care planning consults/if on SS, required every 5 yrs!
17. Page 429/line 13-25: Gov. will specify which dr's can write end-of-life order.
18. Bill will NOT APPLY TO MEMBERS OF CONGRESS-still exempt from SS system, will still have well-funded private plan covering retiring needs.

WE CAN IMPROVE OUR SYSTEM WITHOUT CAUSING MORE COST, MORE EXPANSION OF GOVERNMENT, WITHOUT TAKING OVER THE SYSTEM, AND WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CORRECT FIXES (ability to buy from any ins. co. around the country creating competition which will lower costs, ability to take ins. co. with you from job to job, TORT reform addressing the horrible cost of lawyers fees & out of control court costs/law suits, cutting corruption in medicaid/medicare, not covering non-citizens who shouldn't be getting the privileges of citizenship, etc). WHY DON'T WE SEE THESE THINGS IN THIS B ILL??
