Following the mad recommendations of Peter Singer made in NYT's Sunday magazine, it pays to take a look at what is actually in the healthcare bill.
It's worse than you can possibly imagine. Somehow, it manages to be Singer on steroids. Who wrote this bill. It has Singer's footprints all over it.

WHO WROTE IT?
Thanks for posting; even if the format is tough to read it’s NOT hard to get the gist of it.
I went to they guy’s twitter page & he’s about to page 700 of the bill.
ALSO, BE AWARE that there is an “Amendment in the Nature of a Substitution” coming, here, and that substitution doesn’t HAVE to share the same language as the text being critiqued here.

I hate textspeak with a passion too... but transcribing the greatest hits from this abomination couldn’t have been easy. I sincerely appreciate the time and effort that went into this.

Can you post from 500-700?
So if all physicians become govenment employees, and you can’t sue the federal government, where are the trial lawyers on this proposal??? Is the government going to pick up the tab for the hundred of thousands of dollars a year for medical malpractic premiums??
Iam not sure but maybe it will be like military dependents not being allowed to sue their medical care providers.
You go every five years to discuss with a government official (by then all physicians will be govenment employees) and decide if you want antibiotics, food, water if you get “real” sick (there is no clear definition on that yet) So when you do get ill, stay at home and die please. And remember that Obama loves you. But please, die fast. He is in a hurry. If you happen to recuperate on your own using old wive’s treatments, fine, you haven’t cost the government health care plan. But you are using up Social Security funds so, yeah, die, quick.
Umm....F That!!!
We KNEW this before he was elected. Now, we have to hope it is defeated. This is like waking up from a nightmare...that old Twilight Zone episode about becoming “OBSOLETE.”
I’ll bet some Freeper will be able to post a photo of
Burgess Meredith. In the meantime, here’s the link:

Real time access finances and bank accounts?
The more I read of this bill, the more my heart grows cold. This has got to be stopped.
These came off a Twitter page. You are allowed only 140 characters per post.
Hence the txtng styl.
Try to get goverment-ese down to 140 characters to make a point...even less when you have to provide page number and line number.
These are his Twitter posts (tweets) which are limited to 140 characters.

NEXT QUESTION: It seems as though eventually everyone will be on government insurance (if they change jobs,move,drop their current insurance) so why do they bother excempting anyone? i e.... the only REAL exemption that is GRANDFATHERED OUT is MILITARY and MILITARY DEPENDENTS. So why are they faking the illusion of any small business?
BACKDOOR AMNESTY, HERE WE COME!
PG 425 Lines 22-25, 426 Lines 1-3 Govt provides apprvd list of end of life resources, guiding u in death
