Baucus Committee NO on Government Option, But What they Are Hiding is Very Scary
NRO/ The Lid ^ | 9/29/09 | The Lid

Senator Baucus' Senate Finance Committee easily rejected the inclusion of a government- run "public" insurance option, backed by President Barack Obama, in its version of the health care reform bill. The panel voted 16-8 against a government-run insurance plan in the first of several battles expected in Congress over the issue, one of the most contentious in the raging U.S. debate over health care reform.

Even though the Public option is gone, there is plenty more danger in the Baucus plan that they democrats are hiding, such as

* The true cost of the bill. * Democrats don’t know how much the bill will cost either * You don't get to keep your coverage * The bill manages the impossible, it gives more coverage to more people with less money and fewer doctors.

Read on to get the specifics of what the Democrats want to shove down your throat.

Don’t forget fines and JAIL for people that don’t purchase insurance.
Now just existing will be taxable.

"Universal health care", as a government run program, will essentially extend Medicaid to cover all Americans.

A true cost of the bill can be roughly calculated by taking the current cost of Medicaid (cost per covered person), and multiplying it by the current US population.

Wikianswers has the per-covered-person cost for Medicaid being $14,780.. Multiply that by 300 million population, gives over $4 trillion. Per year.

It will likely be less, because the current Medicaid population has much higher-than-average odds of needing expensive medical treatment (drug abuse, alcohol abuse, violence)

There’s still a long way to go boys and girls. But this is the first step in the right direction. Gotta keep max. pressure on. People have to find a way to attend the “Can Your Us Now” events in great numbers.

This is not about some chicken poop little issue. It’s about America and our Constitution surviving the commie assault.
