Ohh yea I can see how this will save us money < /scarasm>
I read an analysis that this nightmare covers only ONE THIRD OF THE LAW! A full diagram would be THREE TIMES AS COMPLEX!

Nuke it from obit. It’s the only way to be sure.
You know, I’m aghast at what this chart implies, especially given what other posters say is its scope (hardly a third of the total landscape), but I’ve got to hand it to the systems analysts who drew it up. Impressive chart-making (that it vividly shows howhopelessly complex the project is only helps our side, after all).
It will be run like the IRS. A big fat mess. IRS Workers filing for false homeowners credit monies.
It does not touch upon vision or dental insurance which is vitally important. Government red tape with never ending paper work that gets no one no where. By the time Obama’s radical appointees decide you can get a surgery you will be dead.
No doubt. In fact, I suspect the IRS will be a model of efficiency by comparison. Bears recalling that the IRS has been at its job for decades. They’ve got the process down. No such luck for Obamacare. There’s no expertise or process to draw upon. We are simply and thoroughly being reamed. We are led by Vandals.
And they griped about big gov and intrusiveness because Bush wanted to monitor terrorists on our land and they take glee in this???

what stands out for me is ‘New Government’
Of course Congress and Obama exempted themselves from this bureaucratic hell on earth.
Here’s my plan, as an alternative:
ERIC’S HEALTH CARE SYSTEM PROPOSAL:
PATIENT <—> DOCTOR
All in favor, say aye?
You want to piss off the liberals? Make Dick Cheney or Sarah Palin the Secretary of Health and Human Services. We’ll see how they like government run health care when it’s controlled by someone over than the Rats.
Whoever had to produce this map will need time off now. Talk about tedious.
Well that certainly clears matters up!
Pretty easy: the Bush Plan gave them no power. This gives them no end of power. That's what they want, and simplicity or complexity really doesn't enter into their thought process, as I see it.
I think Progressives really do dream of refining the human genome to the point where everybody has a body-age of 35 forever. Those of us who don't fit that paradigm or can't attain it are truly redundant and would need to be disposed of. This permits that. Think of them as a million Mikeys.

AMERICA’S NEW HEALTH CARE SYSTEM REVEALED
UPDATED CHART SHOWS OBAMACARE’S BEWILDERING COMPLEXITY
Washington, D.C. - Four months after U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi famously declared “We have to pass the bill so you can find out what’s in it,”a congressional panel has released the first chart illustrating the 2,801 page health care law President Obama signed into law in March.
Developed by the Joint Economic Committee minority, led by U.S Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas and Rep. Kevin Brady of Texas, the detailed organization chart displays a bewildering array of new government agencies, regulations and mandates.
“For Americans, as well as Congressional Democrats who didn’t bother to read the bill, this first look at the final health care law confirms what many fear, that reform morphed into a monstrosity of new bureaucracies, mandates, taxes and rationing that will drive up health care costs, hurt seniors and force our most intimate health care choices into the hands of Washington bureaucrats,”said Brady, the committee’s senior House Republican. “If this is what passes for health care reform in America, then God help us all.”
Brownback, the committee’s ranking member, added, “This updated chart illustrates the overwhelming expansion of government control over health choices and the bewildering complexity facing everyone affected by this law. It doesn’t take long to see how the recently signed health care bill causes a hugely expensive and explosive expansion of federal control over health care. Personal choices that should be between a doctor and a patient will quickly be strangled in a never ending web of bureaucracy.”
Senate Steering Committee Chairman Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) called Obamacare “a bureaucratic nightmare. The Democrats’ takeover of health care creates a byzantine network of 159 new federal programs and bureaucracies to make decisions that should be between just the patient and their doctor. It should concern everyone that at the center of this regulatory web is the new CMS chief, Donald Berwick, who has championed rationing and European socialized medicine. Americans were rightly outraged that this big government bill was rushed through Congress before anyone read or fully understood the bill’s consequences. Republicans will fight to repeal this reckless takeover and to ensure health care freedom to American families.”
In addition to capturing the massive expansion of government and the overwhelming complexity of new regulations and taxes, the chart portrays:
$569 billion in higher taxes;
$529 billion in cuts to Medicare;
swelling of the ranks of Medicaid by 16 million;
17 major insurance mandates; and
the creation of two new bureaucracies with powers to impose future rationing: the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute and the Independent Payments Advisory Board.
Brady admits committee analysts could not fit the entire health care bill on one chart. “This portrays only about one-third of the complexity of the final bill. It’s actually worse than this.”
