[Mishmash] Fw: Health Care Reform

[Carole]

This was sent to me by a friend who is a Ron Paul supporter and I imagine
that this may have come out of his office.  However, my feeling is that no
matter where it originated or what you politics are, this health care 
reform" needs a WHOLE LOT more work and should not be rushed through
Congress.  I have not research this to check the accuracy of all the page
numbers, etc., but I trust they are, for the most part anyway, accurate.
There is also a link for the whole bill if anyone is interested.  Quite
frankly, it scares me to death when they start saying that us older folks
should have less rights to good health care than our younger counterparts
and talking about ways to help us help ourselves to end out lives!   Has
anyone seen "Soilent Green?"  We are there i'm afraid.

FW.  Ron Paul 267 - Health Care Reform


 
Please take a minute to write to your representatives -- "I WILL VOTE FOR
YOUR OPPONENT in the next election if you vote YES for H.R. 3200, America’s
Affordable Health Choices Act."  I believe we need health care reform....
but not what is being proposed in this Bill.  Let your representatives know
that they need to do their job and protect the Nation and the citizens that
elected them to office!  
 
This health care overhaul is an inexcusable assault on the Constitution and
everything America stands for. Here are some of its many shocking and
appalling provisions (as copiously tracked by Peter Fleckstein) 
The ones that jumped out at me are in bold:
PG 22: Mandates that the federal government will audit books of all
employers who self insure 
PG 30, Sec 123: Establishes a government committee that decides what
treatments/benefits you get. 
PG 29, Lines 4-16: Directly rations health care for the elderly. 
PG 42: The Health Choices Commissioner will choose your benefits for you. 
PG 50, Section 152: Extends benefits and coverage to illegal immigrants. 
PG 58: The creation of a national ID health card and a comprehensive federal
database containing streaming data on every American's personal financial
records.  
PG 59: The federal government accesses your bank accounts for mandatory
funds transfers. 
PG 65, Sec 164: Creates special, federally-subsidized coverage for Unions
and "Community Organizing" groups. 
PG 84 Sec 203 HC bill - Dictates the benefits packages of all private health
insurance plans. 
PG 85, Line 7: Limits what private insurers can offer (rationed care). 
PG 91, Lines 4-7: Mandates that health care providers pay for interpreters
for illegal immigrants.  HUH???  You've got to be kidding me!! 
Pg 95, Lines 8-18: The mandatory use of ACORN and Americorps for signing up
Americans to government insurance. 
PG 85, Line 7: Imposes more limits on coverage (rationing). 
PG 102, Lines 12-18: Mandates Medicare for all who fit criteria (removes all
choice). 
PG 124, Lines 24-25: Bans companies from suing the federal government, bans
the entire judicial system from hearing any cases on the legitimacy of this
blatantly unconstitutional socialist health care takeover (no judicial
review allowed whatsoever). 
PG 127, Lines 1-16: Instructs doctors/AMA on what salaries they are allowed
to make. 
PG 145, Line 15-17: Requires all employers to enroll all new employees in
the government system (no choice whatsoever). 
PG 126, Lines 22-25: Requires employers to independently provide insurance
for part-time workers, whether they can afford it or not (no choice). 
PG 149, Lines 16-24: Imposes an 8% payroll tax penalty for any employer
(making over $400k) who fails to force his employees onto government
insurance. 
PG 150, Lines 9-13: Employers making between $251k and $400k pay 2-6%
penalty. 
PG 167, Lines 18-23: Imposes 2.5% income tax penalty on any
privately-insured individual who fails to get "adequate" private insurance. 
PG 170, Lines 1-3: Stipulates that all non-resident aliens pay nothing (we
foot the bill). 
PG 195: Federal officers will have full access to every citizen's most
private records. 
Pg 239, Line 14-24: Rations Medicaid services for low-income Seniors. 
Pg 241, Line 6-8: Mandates that all doctors be paid the same, regardless of
specialty. 
PG 253, Line 10-18: Imposes federally-determined price tag for the worth of
every doctor's time and services. 
PG 265, Sec 1131: Imposes controls on productivity for private health care
companies. 
PG 268, Sec 1141: Imposes regulations on rental & purchase of power driven
wheelchairs. 
PG 272, SeC. 1145: Cancer treatment rationing. Just what we need--selective
approval for treatment. 
PG 280, Sec 1151: Imposes penalties and fines on private hospitals for 
preventable" visits. 
PG 298, Lines 9-11: Imposes penalties and fines on private hospitals for
readmissions after initial treatment (fix it on the first try or suffer the
consequences). 
PG 317, Lines 13-20: Prohibits doctors from purchasing or investing in
medical care facilities. 
PG 321, Line 2-13: Pretends to give hospitals the choice to go fully-federal
 but only if local "community" groups (ACORN) approve. 
PG 335, Line 16-25, Pg 336-339: Imposes more rationing of services. 
PG 341, Lines 3-9: Creates the federal power to arbitrarily disqualify HMOs,
forcing people onto government care at random. 
PG 354, Sec 1177 - Rationing of care for special needs people. 
PG 379, Sec 1191: Creates new Telehealth bureaucracy (nanny state health
care by phone). 
PG 425, Lines 4-12: Creates mandatory end of life consultation. Teaches us
old people how to not eat, not drink, not take medications in order to end
our lives sooner so as to not burden the system.  Consultations every five
years once you reach Medicare age and, if you are diagnosed with a
life-threatening illness, you have to take the class again even if you just
took it--sorta smells like government encouraged euthanasia to me! 
PG 425, Lines 17-19: Mandatory government instruction and consultation on
living wills, durable power of attorney, etc. 
PG 429, Lines 10-12: Empowers the federal government to order end-of-life
plans through something called, "advanced care consultation."  I
repeat--sorta smells like government encouraged euthanasia to me! 
Pg 429, Lines 13-25: Puts the federal government in charge of which doctors
can write an end of life order. 
PG 430, Lines 11-15: Puts the federal government in complete control of what
care you receive at the end of your life.  Forget your Living Wills......Big
Brother will take care.
