Ok - lots of arguing all over this forum over what is and isn't in it and what it means to the American people.
So - read it for yourself.
http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h3200/text
Some problems I have found already.....
Sec 102 (a) 1 (A) specifically deals with new enrollments after this starts. While the section grandfathers existing coverage - (A) limites enrollment into private insurance after the government insurance exists. Meaning you have insurance now through your employer - great. You change jobs - you are going to be limited in enrolling in your new employers plan though - you get government insurance instead!
Makes it look alot like mandated insurance through the government - unless you happen to stay with one company your entire career....
Also check out Sec 102 (c) 1 (A)
It says that no individual insurance after goverment insurance takes effect can be OFFERED.
Again - how about that choice that we get huh?
I will continue to go over the bill - but in 3 minutes of skimming the very beginning you can see that the bill itself makes it clear what the goal is - eradicate the choice of any healthcare that is not subsidized and overseen by the government.
So many people spout talking points... Well - here is the text - for those that think that this is a good thing - you better read it before you try to defend it.
