A.  pages 284-288, <\/font>SEC. 1151. REDUCING POTENTIALLY PREVENTABLE HOSPITAL READMISSIONS<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

1.      <\/span> This section amends the Social Security<\/font><\/a><\/nobr> Act<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

2.      <\/span>The government has the power to determine what constitutes an “applicable [medical] condition.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

3.      <\/span>The government has the power to determine who is allowed readmission into a hospital.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

4.      <\/span>This determination will be made by statistics: when enough people have been discharged for the same condition, an individual may be readmitted.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

5.      <\/span>This is government rationing, pure, simple, and straight up.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

6.      <\/span>There can be no judicial review of decisions made here. The Secretary is above the courts.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

7.      <\/span>The plan also allows the government to prohibit hospitals from expanding without federal permission: page 317-318.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

B.  pages 167-168, section 401, TAX ON INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT ACCEPTABLE HEALTH CARE COVERAGE<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.      <\/span><\/span>This section amends the Internal Revenue Code.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

2.      <\/span><\/span>Anyone caught without acceptable coverage and not in the government plan will pay a special tax.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

3.      <\/span><\/span>The IRS will be a major enforcement mechanism for the plan.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/em> <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

C.  pages 26-30, <\/span>SEC. 122,<\/span> ESSENTIAL BENEFITS PACKAGE DEFINED<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.      <\/span><\/span>The bill defines “acceptable coverage” and leaves no room for choice in this regard. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

2.      <\/span><\/em><\/span>By setting a minimum 70%  actuarial value of benefits, the bill makes health plans in which individuals pay for routine services, but carry insurance only for catastrophic events, (such as Health Savings Accounts) illegal<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is all I am going to cover here.  Stay tuned for more on what the healthcare legislation being proposed actually says.  There is a lot of misinformation going around about this bill.  We could use some reform in health insurance, but this bill is not it.  There is a bi-partisan bill out there called “The Healthy Americans Act” that is cost neutral and will give us health insurance similar to the way car insurance is handled–portability, etc.  Some of the things in the proposed Democrat healthcare bill are scary and to reveal what is in the bill is not ‘scare tactics’, it is simply telling the truth.  The choice is not between reform and no reform, it is between a good bill and a damaging bill. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n
