I’m actually reading the 1017 page HR 3200 Government Healthcare take over so when I talk about this thing being a pig and ‘crap sandwich’ I’ve read the actual bill. I am familiarizing myself with its intimate details more.
Here’s a few excerpts from this Government nitemare:
15 (11) HEALTH PLAN.—The terms
BENEFITS
16 ‘‘health benefits plan’’ means health insurance cov-
17 erage and an employment-based health plan and in-
18 cludes the public health insurance option.9 (21) PUBLIC HEALTH INSURANCE OPTION.—
10 The term ‘‘public health insurance option’’ means
11 the public health insurance option as provided under
12 subtitle B of title II.11 SEC. 123. HEALTH BENEFITS ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
12 (a) ESTABLISHMENT.—
13 (1) IN GENERAL.—There is established a pri-

7 the Federal Acquisition Regulation shall not apply to
8 contracts between the Commissioner and QHBP of-
9 fering entities for the offering of Exchange-partici-
10 pating health benefits plans under this title.
This isn’t Government take over of Healthcare or Socialized Medicine?? Read this ‘Crap Sandwich’ of a Bill for yourself and see it in writing! The written proof is all there if you bother to READ THE BILL!
I am actually reading this pig of a bill, something most Congresspeople haven’t done, and the more of it I read the greater the stench.
Is this Bill even Constitutional?
Where is the Congressionall oversight?
Where is the competitive bidding?
Why are the plan administrators all political hacks and cronies appointed by the President not needing Congressional vetting and confirmation?
I have uploaded a local copy of that 1017 page ‘Crap Sandwich’ Government take over of Healthcare HERE.
As you can see I have made up my mind on the Healthcare debate based on the facts and WRITTEN Bills own text. I’m not of such limited intellect to rely simply on ‘Talking Points’. To do so would be intellectually dishonest.
