William,
If you find a copy please post a link here! I can’t find one…
I want to know where we can see and entire and complete copy of the Health Bill in question. Why are we not getting all the details instead of just bits and pieces.
Margaret,
I wish I knew where I could find a copy. I have looked all over google and this is the best I could do!
@Margaret Hoffman: Look on Thomas.gov for bills in progress. The final bill is still in the works. So, looking for the details is asking to look at a motionless moving target. No individual knows the full details of such a large bill in reality.
Here is the link to HR 3200–GOOD LUCK

I agree. We need to READ this bill ourselves. The above is no more than a one sided view of what this person wants us to believe. If you were able to post this commentary about the health care bill, then please provide us the URL where we can read it ourselves. Otherwise please stop fear mongering!!
@Grace: It isn’t fear mongering…you should be concerned with gov’t interference into your life—making decisions for you and making your doctor do what they say.
(PG 429 Lines 10-12 “adv. care consultation” may include an ORDER for end of life plans.
Pg 429 Lines 13-25 – The govt will specify which Doctors can write an end of life order.
PG 430 Lines 11-15 The Govt will decide what level of treatment you will have at end of life
We need to repel this healthcare plan and start over…notice that you don’t hear anything about this stuff anymore? Where is the media?? (sorry to say but the media is under gov’t control and Soros control already).
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.3200:
Grace, You are right . Each of us needs to read this bill, something most of our representatives are not doing.
Then all we have to do is figure out the ‘government -speak’ language and how it will affect our country.
I am not a radical right wing nazi lunatic paid by anybody (although I am open to offers LOL) – just a hard working dad, husband and vietnam vet who is very concerned about the path our country is headed – and not jsut from the current administration.
So when you done reading please let us know your thoughts?

I will read now that there is a link. I do find it rather concerning that you posted this blog presenting the above list as factual and you yourself could not find a link and have not read it. This is now being circulated all over the internet as factual. Seems a bit irresponsible. I have no doubt that you are what you claim but maybe should think a bit before posting this stuff.
And I do look forward to hearing your comments. I would also like to know what you think this legislation will do for the American people?
Thanks for participating!
The BILL hasn’t been written. It hasn’t been introduced in comittee. PLEASE – Stop sharing LIES and EVIL SPEW about something that Does Not Exist…
When It is written, you will find a copy at USCongress.GOV. Others stipulate and share what they think may be in the bill, but until a bill is written, there is no BILL..
Thank you.
Dave,
Actually it is written and it would appear you have not read it? Evil Spew? That is an interesting term and certainly adds to the intelligent debate about laws that will change our lives. Thanks for sharing.

Definitely read the sections he’s pointing out. He’s taking them quite out of context. Likely a regurgitation of some jargon from TV. There is NO rationing at least not defined by the Annual Limitation, this is specifically for the health essentials package which is likely to go to people who don’t currently have insurance. Remember folks, this is a MANDATE, the public option or (evil socialized health care) is only a small part of the bill. People need to get informed and read and stop wit this Nazi juxtaposition and anti-socialist shit. One day we’re calling Obama socialist and the next we’re calling him a fascists, the polar opposites. People need to get informed and stop watching dumbass TV shows that only seek to profit off our anger toward each other. If we continue to polarize into these “left and right” camps we’re prevent anything real from every being accomplished. Our health care system is NOT THAT GREAT. Look at the WHO stats we’re below most other countries and we’re the wealthiest?
Scott,
Thanks for your comments. Although I would appreciate it greatly if you would limit your language and keep this a ratioanl discussion. Calling me or anyone else names is counterproductive – would you not agree?
I take issue with your reference to our health care system. If it is not so great (I think it is the best in the work – but surely could be better) why would people from socialized medicine countries like Canada and England come here for help?
The WHO organization statistics are misleading at best.
And I repeat my original statement. I am not against making the health care system better. I am very much against the role of the federal government in the marketplace whether it is banks, cars or health.
As of today our federal government is in debt which I am partially responsible for. That amount today for me (family of four) is $136,000. The government has to get out of our lives and go back to the powers specifically granted to it by our Constitution – which does not include health care!
Regards,
Miami
ps. There WILL be rationing. Think about it. If the govt sets the price of health care – how many doctors will continue to work the number of hours they do for less money? How about nurses? They won’t. Now add in every uneducated person who can now (due to public health insurance) run to the doctor every time they sniffle. Please explain to me how the govt will afford NOT to ration?
Me personally,if half of what i’ve read about this HC proposal is true i don’t want it,Why would anyone Democrate or Republican want to give these IDIOTS in washinhton access to your bank accounts,& if you don’t join they’ll fine you, to be taken out of your tax refund,HOW MUCH ?????They decide,not you.What does getting access to your bank account have to do with Health Care,Making NON RESIDENTS(ILLEGAL ALIENS)EXEMPT from paying for it,You and i carry that load,giving them access to Social Security when they haven’t paid into it,Whats that got to do with HEALTH CARE?????THEY want us to have a HEALTH CARE BILL but its not good enough for them,they’re EXEMPT,so whats so good about this for us but not THEM???What makes anyone of them up there think they’re any better than you or i ????I think every damn one of them has forgotten they’re PUBLIC SERVANTS,there not special Where they get a better deal than the rest of us,WE pay there OVERPAID ASS’S
Jesus, Mary, and, Joseph, pray for us! This bill is insane! And so are all of the dummycrates. And Why won’t the congress have to have the same bill? I think they should have it too! Some docters I have talked to are saying they are going to retire.
PEOPLE – this is a chain email that was debunked not long after this was originally posted.
http://www.factcheck.org/2009/08/twenty-six-lies-about-hr-3200/
Of all of these statements only 4 are true, most are flat out false, and the others are misleading at best.
And yes, I’ve seen the bill. Yes, I’ve read all the pages mentioned above (won’t claim to have read the entire thing) and yes, the website I listed above debunking them is correct.
So Sarah – I assume you thing the health bill is good for our country?
this bill is sick so many loved one will be gone before there time obama is the devel in sheeps clothing unless you come from any other country i was going to fight for my county but thats a pipe dream no more democrates evil group obama ruind this country and he just got started
Hmmm. Why don’t you say what you really feel? hehe I agree that as a country we seem to be going backwards towards social programs that have failed in every other country they have been tried.
i would like to make my own decision on how my life ending treatment man what happened to the good old days
