HR3200, Division A, Title I, Subtitle A, Section 102(a) -- no new coverage purchased outside the ExchangeWould you please quote from the source material (one of the actual bills) the relevant section that states that citizens would not be able to purchase their own medical treatments?
HR3200, Division A, Title II, Subtitle A, Section 203 -- nothing purchased within the Exchange except what the government allows.
HR3200, Division A, Title III, Subtitle A, Section 301 -- punitive tax for people without insurance of 2.5% of Adjusted Gross Income.
Folks won't be able to purchase their own medical treatments because they won't be allowed to purchase anything besides GovernmentCare, will be taxed if they do not purchase GovernmentCare, and because HR3200 bends the cost curve up and not down, this leaves folks with less money to pay for things out of pocket.
Remember, if health care weren't so damned expensive, people would not need health insurance in the first place. Cramming everyone into government designed health insurance plans merely sucks all that disposable income away by not lowering nominal health care costs.
