There is not enough room here to list all 111 of the new programs but each one of these provisions of the bill would require an agency to oversee it. They might be able to consolidate some of them but this is why the Bill cost so much and why an average family of 4 will be paying $15,000 dollars per year in premiums.

Any other conservatives willing to admit the devious brilliance of the Dem’s reform plan?

They’ve got the left and some moderates thinking the health reform bill is a payoff to big insurance companies. The insurance companies will be getting 30 million more customers, plus subsidies for the poor.

But let’s look at the long term. Obama and the uber-left want single payer, but know they can’t get it now. What is going to be the result of this bill? Since the insurance companies have to insure people with pre-existing conditions and no lifetime caps, the cost of doing business will go up. Which means insurance premiums go up. An additional 15-20 million Americans (plus illegals) being added to the health care system will not help waiting times. All of which will get people mad at insurance companies.

Look 10-15 years in the future (maybe sooner), Democrats will still be complaining about rising health care costs, even though their bill contributed to them. They’ll call for health care reform, claiming the last bill didn’t go far enough, the evil insurance companies are still gouging people, letting them die, etc. More people mad at the insurance companies means more support for a Democrat power grab. Maybe then they’ll have enough support for government takeover, or at least for a public option which would be a step towards single payer.

Clever, clever people.

Do you agree that the following are lies intended to stop health reform?

Lie #1: President Obama and Congressional Democrats are seeking to “nationalize” health care, which will result in “socialized medicine.”

The Truth: Fear-inducing buzzwords such as “nationalization” and “socialized medicine” are not accurate descriptions of Obama’s health care approach. In reality, Obama and Congressional Democrats are advocating that health care remain primarily in private hands, but that the government should design a “health insurance exchange” and “public option” to cover most of the estimated 46 million uninsured. In addition, Obama is promoting new regulations to reduce escalating health care costs, guarantee the portability of insurance policies, and limit the ability of insurance companies to deny coverage simply because of preexisting conditions.

Lie #2: “Universal health care” is overly bureaucratic and results in a “government takeover” of health care.

The Truth: The U.S. is the only country in the industrialized world that does not have some form of universal health care. But “universal” is not synonymous with a “government takeover.” Though some countries such as Great Britain and Canada have indeed nationalized major components of their health care systems, other countries such as Germany and the Netherlands have found ways in which to cover everyone while also retaining a strong private insurance system. In this regard, Obama and a majority of Congressional Democrats have endorsed a relatively moderate approach designed to reduce bureaucratic red tape in both private and public health care institutions. Under such a plan, no one will be compelled to switch from his or her insurance company to a public option.

Lie #3: Health care reform will result in the rationing of care, thus depriving people of important medical services.

The Truth: Insurance companies are actually the ones who are currently rationing health care in the U.S. Every day, countless thousands of Americans are denied payment for needed operations and treatments by health insurance companies. In contrast, there is nothing in any of the major Democratic proposals that would ration care. This is simply another scare tactic designed by conservative special interest groups to forestall any major reform of the system.

Lie #4: Health care reform, as proposed by President Obama and Congressional Democrats, will supply illegal immigrants with health care coverage.

The Truth: The main House bill, HR 3200, actually bans the coverage of illegal immigrants. According to Section 246 in the bill, any type of health insurance exchange or public option would forbid payments “on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States.”

Lie #5: Health care reform proposals endorsed by President Obama and Congressional Democrats will mandate “death panels” for elderly patients, thus encouraging euthanasia.

The Truth: There is absolutely nothing in any of the bills before Congress that would provide for death panels or euthanasia. What HR 3200, Section 1233, actually states is that Medicare would be required to pay doctors for consultations with patients about “advance care planning,” such as living wills, hospice care, etc. The American Medical Association, which has endorsed the Democratic approach to health care reform, has noted that such consultations would be strictly voluntary and not result in any type of rationing of care or euthanasia for seniors.

Lie #6: Democratic proposals for health care reform include a provision that would allow the U.S. government to access patients’ bank accounts and related financial records.

The Truth: Section 163 of HR 3200 entitled “Standards for financial and administrative transactions” requires the government to set “comprehensive, efficient and robust” rules for electronic transactions, thus reducing expensive and duplicative paperwork. This is one of several provisions that are designed to cut administrative costs and red tape in the health care bureaucracy. This provision only covers companies involved in medical billing and not individual patients.

Lie #7: The U.S. cannot afford any new, expensive government programs that will fuel the deficit for years to come.

The Truth: Currently, the U.S. has the most expensive health care system in the world. Every year, health care costs continue to rise, while insurance companies raise premiums and other out of pocket expenses for average consumers. Health care costs result in sixty percent of all bankruptcies in the US. One major reason why health care is so expensive is due to the approximately 46 million Americans who are uninsured that tend to visit emergency rooms for even minor ailments. As the most expensive place to receive care, ERs drive up the cost of health care in general. With universal health care, ER visits would almost certainly decline, thus saving huge sums of money. Maintaining the status quo will only fuel the federal deficit since health care inflation is having a dram
