Here's a case of the Democrats attempting to establish national health care.
This bill was brought through bypassing debate and committee review...to cram it through the House before adjourning.
It was originally meant to provide health insurance for children whose families were too wealthy to get Medicaid but too poor to get private insurance. It has strayed, of course.
With this new bill up to two-thirds of Americans could end up under government-run health care. Headed for national health care?
2.1 million people currently covered by private health plans forced into this nationalized health care.
At least 70,000 American families will now be both eligible for taxpayer-funded entitlement health care and subject to the unfair Alternative Minimum Tax, the tax that was intended for millionaires.
$37.1 billion in cuts to Medicare providers... cuts for hospital care, skilled nursing care, home health care, oxygen therapy and imaging.
An estimated 3 million seniors will literally lose coverage altogether.
It removes safeguards to keep illegal immigrants from accessing SCHIP benefits. A mandatory #400 million expenditure for translation services
The President has said he will veto this bill. It should stand.
But we need to be constantly alert!! They are going to try and try again to get health care socialized. And if we object they will say we don't care about the children!!
