based on what i've read... this is a "summary" from a guy named "fleckman" it's full of spin and mis-information...take it with a grain of salt... examples... Pg 29 lines 4-16 in the HC bill – YOUR HEALTHCARE IS RATIONED!!! Page 29 deals with cost-sharing. This does not ration healthcare, it sets maximums for the amount an individual has to pay for medical under an insurance plan ($5000 for an individual and $10,000 for a family, with automatic increases based upon increases in the Consumer Price Index). Either this guy doesn’t know what cost-sharing is, or he is being intentionally misrepresentative. PG 50 Section 152 in HC bill – HC will be provided 2 ALL non US citizens, illegal or otherwise Talk about grasping at straws. Here’s the exact verbiage of the text: “Except as otherwise explicitly permitted by this Act and by subsequent regulations consistent with this Act, all health care and related services (including insurance coverage and public health activities) covered by this Act shall be provided without regard to personal characteristics extraneous to the provision of high quality health care or related service.” Pg 170 Lines 1-3 HC Bill Any NONRESIDENT Alien is exempt from indiv. taxes. (Americans will pay) Nonresident aliens are already exempted from most taxes, including Social Security taxes, as they are generally not eligible for US Government services. And the taxes that are levied are only for certain incomes. Furthermore, many nonresident aliens don’t even preside in the United States, making it absurd that they should pay for services they won’t receive. However, this isn’t really a fairness issue; this is a tax policy issue which extends far beyond the subject at hand. Pg 195 HC Bill -officers & employees of HC Admin (GOVT) will have access 2 ALL Americans finan/pers recs This is not universal access. It only applies to certain information (which is already provided to the IRS) which can be used to determine if a person is financially capable of paying for insurance. And it’s not available for “all” Americans, only those whom have filed taxes. This is so that people who cannot afford insurance are not subjected to the, we’ll call it, “punishment tax”. personally I'm NOT a proponent of the bill...just as I was not a proponent of Obama. I am a proponent of providing accurate information.(not directed at anyone on this site, there are a lot of people sending out emails with garbage information)
