Government-Run Health Care Plan Worse Than Anyone Imagined
Euphemistically titled "America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009," the 1,018-page bill is filled with massive tax hikes to be levied against individuals and small businesses. It expands on and creates brand new federal bureaucracies empowered with overseeing your family's health care decisions - if not charged with making those decisions for you. And, according to Investor Business Daily, "[r]ight there on Page 16 is a provision making individual private medical insurance illegal" if you leave your current plan and wish to buy private individual insurance for yourself and your family.
That's before factoring in that nearly 120 million people will be forced off their private insurance and into a government-run plan while still leaving 34 million Americans uninsured. Or the fact that the legislation comes with a $1 trillion to $2 trillion price tag.
