Latest Version of Obama-Care: More Costly, Confusing and Ominous Then Ever

My friends, we are in for the fight of our lives – and our lives may literally depend on the outcome.
Late last week, with the President’s blessing, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi unveiled the latest legislative version of Mr. Obama’s plan to destroy
Here are the high/low points:
- It will cost an estimated $1.055 trillion over the next decade. In an era of runaway spending and mega-deficits, the President and his party are determined to increase the burden on our children and grandchildren. This burden will take the form of new taxes or inflation, or both. Americans for Tax Reform has identified 13 new taxes found in the bill.
- It will bankrupt private insurers, by forcing them to cover all applicants, regardless of pre-existing conditions. Insurers will be forced to write policies for smokers with lung cancer and homosexuals with AIDS. Not only does this penalize individuals who’ve made healthy and often time moral choices, it will eventually put private insurance companies out of business – which is what the president wants.
- It will result in virtually unlimited government coverage of abortion. Various congressional committees rejected more than 30 amendments that would have barred abortion coverage. The President’s friends in the pro-death movement (Planned Parenthood, etc.) pushed for it, and they got it. Even the U.S. Catholic Bishops, who were inclined to support the concept of universal coverage at the outset, are now lobbying against it.
- There is nothing in the bill that would prevent illegal immigrants (an increasingly important part of the Democrats’ coalition) from gaining access to its mandated health-care coverage.
- It will result in health care rationing; there is no alternative. Even without rationing, by expanding coverage, health-care costs will soar. Only rationing will keep them from rising into the stratosphere. There will be nothing as blatant as “death panels” – though they will exist in substance if not in name. The bill will simply penalize doctors who prescribe care above a certain level for Medicare patients.
The President and Pelosi are working feverishly to pass this catastrophe before reality catches up with enough people in
The more complicated, convoluted and onerous Obama-care becomes (and the Pelosi bill is all of these), the easier it is to defeat. And we’re asking you to help us do just that.
We’ll be In D.C. On November 16 To Protest The Hate Crimes Bill
On November 16, we’ll be part of a broad-based coalition that will stage a protest and pray-in outside the U.S. Justice Department, to highlight the dangers of the unconstitutional, anti-Christian Hate Crimes law by President Obama last week. Look for more details in future issues of HALT Obama News.
