Private Medical Insurance Is "NOT" An Option
....at least according to the House bill.....
It didn't take long to run into an "uh-oh" moment when reading the House's
"health care for all Americans" bill. Right there on Page 16 is a provision
making individual private medical insurance illegal.

This latest bill includes:
* A new government health insurance plan.
* An individual mandate that every one of us must purchase government-defined
health insurance or face new taxes and fines. This is a clear breaking of the
president's pledge not to raise taxes on Americans earning less than $250,000
per year – at least 8 million Americans and their families will see their taxes
go up.
* An employer mandate that will make businesses either provide
government-defined insurance coverage or pay a penalty tax.
* Another income tax on households and many small businesses with an annual
income of $350,000 to help pay for all this. This is another broken campaign
promise. The president had pledged not to increase any American's taxes above
the level of the 1990s – and that is just what would happen.
* The government will decide what is an "adequate" health insurance package A
new bureaucracy – the Benefits Advisory Committee – and the Secretary of Health
and Human Services will decide what coverage you have to pay for and what
diseases and treatments will be covered.
* Another bailout that will cost taxpayers tens of billions of dollars – this
time to unions to bail out their retiree health care plans.
More Comparative Effectiveness Research that could lead to government
bureaucrats denying you health care treatment options.
