The President’s Proposal puts American families and small business owners in control of their own health care.
* It makes insurance more affordable by providing the largest middle class tax cut for health care in history, reducing premium costs for tens of millions of families and small business owners who are priced out of coverage today. This helps over 31 million Americans afford health care who do not get it today – and makes coverage more affordable for many more.
* It sets up a new competitive health insurance market giving tens of millions of Americans the exact same insurance choices that members of Congress will have.
* It brings greater accountability to health care by laying out commonsense rules of the road to keep premiums down and prevent insurance industry abuses and denial of care.
* It will end discrimination against Americans with pre-existing conditions.
* It puts our budget and economy on a more stable path by reducing the deficit by $100 billion over the next ten years – and about $1 trillion over the second decade – by cutting government overspending and reining in waste, fraud and abuse.
The President’s Proposal bridges the gap between the House and Senate bills and includes new provisions to crack down on waste, fraud and abuse.
* Eliminating the Nebraska FMAP provision and providing significant additional Federal financing to all States for the expansion of Medicaid;
* Closing the Medicare prescription drug “donut hole” coverage gap;
* Strengthening the Senate bill’s provisions that make insurance affordable for individuals and families;
* Strengthening the provisions to fight fraud, waste, and abuse in Medicare and Medicaid;
* Increasing the threshold for the excise tax on the most expensive health plans from $23,000 for a family plan to $27,500 and starting it in 2018 for all plans;
* Improving insurance protections for consumers and creating a new Health Insurance Rate Authority to provide Federal assistance and oversight to States in conducting reviews of unreasonable rate increases and other unfair practices of insurance plans.

I have a dream.
I want to see this SOB in a jail cell with dirty walls, a toilet and a steel frame bed.
This is what I pray for.
Kennedy got private health care. Even with a serious brain tumor, it prolonged his life months if not years.
Murtha got government health care for a simple operation. He's dead.
awesome comment
“I’m holding out for the hope that he just completely self-destructs”
Yup, that’s my plan too.
Stranger things have happened.

That is not eliminating it, that is expanding it.

......and just where are the CUTS ??? (in other words: “We’re gettin our REVENUE through this anyway, any-how, anywhere, and anytime, from anyone (but us).” STEAL-CARE
Fillibuster and shut it down.
I want to see them “duck walked” out of the White House. My dream.
I want to call my Senators and tell them to kill this bill but I live in the state of New York. Both of my representatives love this garbage. I think it is a waste of my breath and time.
Laughs!
Laughs!
Laughs!
How would you like to be Senator Ben “Cornhusker Kickback” Nelson today? He’s in big trouble with his voters for supporting healthcare and the reason he did it is now being tossed out. :)
Sociailist Bernie Sanders says healthcare just the tip of the iceberg thru reconciliation.
NakedEmperor @hannityshow Healthcare just the beginning!! Sen Sanders lays out the far left Reconciliation Legislation Landslide http://bit.ly/bB7rGY
And the rapists go on raping, now getting the blackmailed population to rape with them. This is homosexual-islamo-leftist agenda.
These sbirs of hell, once denounced, turn on the denouncers and murder them. A holocaust is coming.
Obama and his media f@g machine need to sh#t the heck up, and it will happen through mass chaos if we do not screw our heads right and dump/purge of this feminism for good.
