The politicians don’t seem to know what is in it and surprises keep coming out re: contents and footnotes.
Someone told me lobbyists wrote it. Is this true? Don’t they have a vested interest?

- Medicare Tax? Health Care for the Elderly? Let’s look at the facts about the proposed Medicare Tax … and a medical care program for the aged that already exists! What’s the hurry here? The supporters of the proposed Medicare Tax would have you believe that passage of this controversial bill is urgent … that persons over 5 are deprived of needed medical care because they can’t pay for it. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Kerr-Mills Law, passed by Congress in 1960 – enabled individual states to guarantee to every elderly person who needs help the health care he or she requires. We call this health program … Health Opportunity for the Elderly. Thousands of people every day are being helped by its generous benefits. And unlike Medicare, which would substantially increase your Social Security Tax payroll deductions, existing programs are being paid for now by a part of your present tax dollar! Medicare? NO. Health Care for the Elderly? YES! ….. 1964 American Medical Association Ad, A5157.

10 Things Every American Needs to Know about the Health Care Bill:
1. Once reform is fully implemented, over 95% of Americans will have health insurance coverage, including 32 million who are currently uninsured.
2. Health insurance companies will no longer be allowed to deny people coverage because of preexisting conditions–or to drop coverage when people become sick.
3. Just like members of Congress, individuals and small businesses who can’t afford to purchase insurance on their own will be able to pool together and choose from a variety of competing plans with lower premiums.
4. Reform will cut the federal budget deficit by $138 billion over the next ten years, and a whopping $1.2 trillion in the following ten years.
5. Health care will be more affordable for families and small businesses thanks to new tax credits, subsidies, and other assistance–paid for largely by taxing insurance companies, drug companies, and the very wealthiest Americans.
6. Seniors on Medicare will pay less for their prescription drugs because the legislation closes the “donut hole” gap in existing coverage.
7. By reducing health care costs for employers, reform will create or save more than 2.5 million jobs over the next decade.
8. Medicaid will be expanded to offer health insurance coverage to an additional 16 million low-income people.
9. Instead of losing coverage after they leave home or graduate from college, young adults will be able to remain on their families’ insurance plans until age 26.
10. Community health centers would receive an additional $11 billion, doubling the number of patients who can be treated regardless of their insurance or ability to pay.
only the fringes of the original package was passed—-an underhanded tactic used by the Congress to get the REAL package into more serious consideration……
probably SEIU had a hand in it as Obama does not do anything without SEIU present.
Also SEIU gets a good deal out of it.
I also wonder why they put school student loans in health – care bill looks like this admin wants to control the health – care and student loans.
This is a serious question that needs to be asked/answered on national television. Here is what is known.
-No member of the House or Senate wrote it (none take credit).
-The bulk of it was prepared before any “debate” took place.
-The president broke his campaign promises (5 days to read before signing and transparency).
-The president surrounds himself with lobbyists, special interest groups and Marxists.
-Those who voted for it are exempted from it.
-It bails-out the S.E.I.U. (one of the largest contributors to the Obama Campaign) at the taxpayer’s expense and then exempts them from the cost.
-For the first time in American history, we had to pass a bill to find out what was in it.
-Most of the the know and “bipartisan” fixes for health care (Tort reform/interstate competition/ etc.)did not make it in this 2700 page bill.
-The big rush to cram it through was all about political timing. Anger will die down a little and some benefits will begin before the 2010 election, yet the drastic increase in premiums and taxation will start just after the election.
The truth is, those who wrote it do have a vested interest.
