Don't buy the claim that the Sen ate health-care bill is substantially more moderate than the House measure. While Speaker Nancy Pelosi's legislation is even more onerous than the package created by Sen. Max Baucus and now championed by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, the larger story is how similar the two Democratic bills are.

H.R. 3962, the Democrats’ health insurance reform bill, to be voted on this week by Congress, contains a provision to establish waiting lists as a mechanism to control costs.

Such waiting lists have long been a characteristic – and a bane – of socialized medicine. 

  Indeed, the Canadian Supreme Court ruled them illegal in June 2005.

Speaker Pelosi’s Government-Run Health Plan Will Require a Monthly Abortion Premium

Health care reform should not be used as an opportunity to use federal funds to pay for elective abortions. Health reform should be an opportunity to protect human life - not end it.

A Pint of Healthcare is Not Cheaper than a Gallon

Cross Action News ^ | 11/5/09 | Thomas Sowell

Although it is cheaper to buy a pint of milk than to buy a quart of milk, nobody considers that to be lowering the price of milk. Although it is cheaper to buy a lower quality of all sorts of goods than to buy a higher quality, nobody thinks of that as lowering the price of either lower or higher quality goods.

Yet, when it comes to medical care, there seems to be remarkably little attention paid to questions of both quantity and quality, in the rush to “bring down the cost of medical care.”

Bizarro Health Care ‘Reform’: Expect Less, Pay More

Pajamas Media ^ | Nov. 5 | Brian Schwartz

Posted on Thursday, November 05, 2009 12:21:12 PM by AJKauf

Expect less, pay more. It’s not the slogan for some “Bizarro World” Target store in a comic book; it’s an accurate slogan for congressional Democrats’ health care “reform” proposals. They include a new government-run insurance plan, mandatory insurance, new political controls on insurance, and new taxes.

Republicans Rally Resistance to Health Care Bill, as House Vote Nears

Republicans host a rally against Democrats' health care reform, calling on those who attend to track down their elected representatives in Congress and put pressure on them to think twice about voting for the more than $1 trillion health care overhaul.

As a crowd of protesters shouted "kill the bill," House Republicans on Thursday rallied opposition against the Democrats' health care legislation, decrying the bill on the steps of Congress in a last-ditch bid to derail or at least delay the legislation heading toward a possible vote Saturday.

Pelosi/Reid SCAM America on CBO Cost For Obamacare->House Bill Costs $1.8 TRILLION

NY POST/The Lid ^ | 11/5/09 | The Lid

Posted on Thursday, November 05, 2009 6:34:11 PM by Shellybenoit

Each of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) costs for Obamacare released by the leaders of the Senate and House respectively were totally honest, and totally full of crap ! Its all a matter of timing. In their efforts to gain support for the government take over the health care industry Ms Pelosi and Mr Reid are Running a scam on the American People.

Here's how it works, each plan starts the taxes in year one, but they back loaded costs. The house bill for example doesn't start spending real money until 2013, year 4 of the plan. The CBO measures costs for ten year periods (2010-2019). The Congressional leadership chose to release the CBO's 2010-2019 estimate, but if they chose to release the estimate for the actual first 10 years of the plan The CBO reports the House bill would cost $1.8 trillion, and the Senate bill would cost $1.7 trillion. Pelosi would raise Americans' taxes by $1.1 trillion over that period, while Reid would hike them by $1 trillion:
