All of these arguments are false. The healthcare bill has none of the things conservatives say it does.
Actually, the amount of gray area in alot of the plan allows enough wiggle room for exactly what conservatives are warning against. First off, the statement that you can keep your coverage is false, the congress has written into the legislation stating that if the provision is passed, new applications cannot be written once the bill is signed, so if an employer drops group, then people would have to join the government plan, second, the requirement for coverage, this would force uninsured to join the government plan, then, what if private companies cannot afford to compete with the "not-for-profit" system and fold, then......etc. This is true, and quite possible.
The government does not make any calls on a persons health decisions, that is between the patient and doctor.
Wrong, tobacco taxes, soda taxes, other "sin" taxes, if the government is paying, they can tell you which doctors you may see or they don't pay. Also, since the government would be paying, they could tell you what behaviors put you on which tier regardless of the critical nature of your needs, and, the national health database would allow anyone making payment decisions access to your medical files, so yes, it does give government alot of control of your health decisions.
As I have mentioned many times, all that is happening here is the same old misleading campaignes that cost the GOP elections. Hopefully you guys will stay on the same path and we can replace the last, what, 10.:lol:
Tl, it's not that simple.
