The House Health Bill (Obamacare): What you must know


Let's face it, none of our elected representatives in Congress (good facsimiles above) has any intention of reading the 1,000 plus pages of the House Health Bill - or its Senate version when it is finally written. The first thing we should do is start chanting: "No taxation without representation!" Thanks to The Heritage Foundation, we now have a clear glimpse of what those rascals on the Hill are doing to our health care. Here's an excerpt from a longer piece published on the Heritage Blog today:

Three major Committees of the House of Representatives have finished mark-up of HR 3200, a bill the size of a telephone book. Members of the House Ways and Means Committee have clarified their policy positions on crucial items, including the right of employee choice of coverage, the right of Americans to keep private health plans or purchase the private coverage that they like, their right to get medical care without government interference, or whether or not abortion coverage would be a matter of personal choice or government mandate. The House Ways and Means Committee has clearly answered these questions. Moreover, the Committee’s answers, in several instances, directly contradict President Obama’s oft-repeated promises to the American people.

Here's a link to the entire piece. Please read it carefully: that's exactly what the Capitol Hill scoundrels don't want you to do.
