Well, I have done it! I have read the entire text of proposed House Bill 3200: The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009. I studied it with particular emphasis from my area of expertise, constitutional law. I was frankly concerned that parts of the proposed law that were being discussed might be unconstitutional. What I found was far worse than what I had heard or expected.
To begin with, much of what has been said about the law and its implications is in fact true, despite what the Democrats and the media are saying. The law does provide for rationing of health care, particularly where senior citizens and other classes of citizens are involved, free health care for illegal immigrants, free abortion services, and probably forced participation in abortions by members of the medical profession.
The Bill will also eventually force private insurance companies out of business and put everyone into a government run system. All decisions about personal health care will ultimately be made by federal bureaucrats and most of them will not be health care professionals. Hospital admissions, payments to physicians, and allocations of necessary medical devices will be strictly controlled.
However, as scary as all of that it, it just scratches the surface. In fact, I have concluded that this legislation really has no intention of providing affordable health care choices.

Right on Mr. Connelly! RIGHT ON!

God Bless the USA

Exactly. All it is, is another coup. FDR started the first one by buying the American people with his "New Deal", LBJ did it with his "Great Society."
Now we have Obamarx buying off the next bunch of ignoramuses with his "free health care."
Even if it was about health care, where in the enumerated powers of the constitution for the United States does it authorize the Federal or state government(s) to provide health care to the populace?
Praise God someone has finally revealed the truth about Obamacare. How can we get this in the hands of every congressman???
