Posted by I ran across this on the net and consider it a decent review of the whole “Health Care Reform” legislation. I have read several of the sections of this legislation, and posted here on BB some of my personal concerns regarding the HHS Secretary’s sweeping powers that would be granted to this individual.
”
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.”
