THIS IS THE 2ND OFFICIAL WHO HAS OUTLINED THESE PARTS OF THE CARE BILL - HB3200 highlighted pages as the most egregious – but are far from the only questionable portions
Please read this........ especially the reference to pages 58 & 59
JUDGE KITHIL wrote:
"I have reviewed selected sections of the bill, and find it unbelievable that our Congress, led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, could come up with a bill loaded with so many wrong-headed elements."
"Both Republicans and Democrats are equally responsible for the financial mess of both Social Security and Medicare programs."
"I am opposed to HB 3200 for a number of reasons.
To start with, it is estimated that a federal bureaucracy of more than 150,000 new employees will be required to administer HB3200. That is an unacceptable expansion of a government that is already too intrusive in our lives. If we are going to hire 150,000 new employees, let's put them to
work protecting our borders, fighting the massive drug problem and putting more law enforcement/firefighters out there."
JUDGE KITHIL continued: "Other problems I have with
this bill include:
** Page 50/section 152: The bill will provide insurance to all non-U.S. residents, even if they are here illegally.
** Page 58 and 59: The government will have real-time access to an individual's bank account and will have the authority to make electronic fund transfers from those accounts.
** Page 65/section 164: The plan will be subsidized (by the government) for all union members, union retirees and for community organizations (such as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now - ACORN).
** Page 203/line 14-15: The tax imposed under this section will not be treated as a tax. (How could anybody in their right mind come up with that?)
** Page 241 and 253: Doctors will all be paid the same regardless of specialty, and the government will set all doctors' fees.
** Page 272! section 1145: Cancer hospital will ration care according to the patient's age. (Would someone please say death panels and apologize to Sarah Palin!?!)
** Page 317 and 321: The government will impose a prohibition on hospital expansion; however, communities may petition for an exception. (This has already happened!) 60 Doctor-Owned Hospitals Canceled Due to New Health Law
** Page 425, line 4-12: The government mandates advance-care planning consultations. Those on Social Security will be required to attend an "end-of-life planning" seminar every five years. (Death counseling)
** Page 429, line 13-25: The government will specify which doctors can write an end-of-life order. (Only the ones they control)
HAD ENOUGH???? Judge Kithil then goes on:
"Finally, it is specifically stated that this bill will not apply to members of Congress. Members of Congress are already exempt from the Social Security system, and have a well-funded private plan that covers their retirement needs. If they were on our Social Security plan, I believe they would find a very quick 'fix' to make the plan financially sound for their future."
(It appears that at the last minute, a provision negating Congresses right to keep their healthcare was added in the Senate by the GOP and nobody caught it.) They are now scrambling to fix it. Let us make that it is not in their words “fixed”… in our words fair!! (See Below)

NYT: ObamaCare may have accidentally stripped Congress of health coverage
POSTED AT 9:47 PM ON APRIL 12, 2010 BY ALLAHPUNDIT
The perfect ending to a day that saw support for repealing O-Care reach a new high in Rasmussen (58 percent) and support for The One reach a new weekly low inGallup (47 percent). Turns out that fantastically long, mind-bogglingly complex bills which no one has actually read may create unintended consequences.
Remember how they forgot to require insurers to cover kids with preexisting conditions? Oh, and they forgot initially to let young adults be covered by their parents’ insurance until Reid fixed it in reconciliation. Now this. Who knew that when Pelosi said they’d have to pass the bill so that people could find out what’s in it, “people” meant Congress?
I’d call it comedy gold if not for the obvious point raised by the Times: “If they did not know exactly what they were doing to themselves, did lawmakers who wrote and passed the bill fully grasp the details of how it would influence the lives of other Americans?”
The law apparently bars members of Congress from the federal employees health program, on the assumption that lawmakers should join many of their constituents in getting coverage through new state-based markets known as insurance exchanges.
But the research service found that this provision was written in an imprecise, confusing way, so it is not clear when it takes effect.
The new exchanges do not have to be in operation until 2014. But because of a possible “drafting error,” the report says, Congress did not specify an effective date for the section excluding lawmakers from the existing program.
Under well-established canons of statutory interpretation, the report said, “a law takes effect on the date of its enactment” unless Congress clearly specifies otherwise. And Congress did not specify any other effective date for this part of the health care law. The law was enacted when President Obama signed it three weeks ago.
In other words, theoretically the law kicks them out of the federal health plan now in order to force them to join insurance exchanges… that don’t exist yet. Looking forward to tomorrow, when we’re inevitably told that they meant to do that. Exit question for lawyers: Who would have standing to sue to force the federal health plan to drop Congress now? Any citizen, or is it more refined than that?
The average American makes $50,000 and has a benefit package of $9,000. The Average Congressman make $174,000 and has a benefit package of $40,000. How about we lower the benefit packages of the House, Senate, and President to that of average Americans. Do not let them reinstate the Cadillac Package they had before. With any luck, there never will be insurance exchanges for any of us through ObamaCare, when it is over-turned!!

*** Many of you may have heard that ACORN is bankrupt and going out of business. Do not be fooled… They have regrouped and are opening all over the country and all over the world under new and different names so it will be harder to track them.
**** Americorps is a government youth group in which ultimately all college students will be a required to serve as part of the student loan takeover that was slipped through as part of this HC bill without most people noticing.
For anyone who does not believe these provisions are in the bill… I suggest you read it. They are all in there and that is why Obama broke his Sunshine Campaign Promise, knowing that most people would not read it in the first few days after passing the House and that they will be upset when they do.
And the best parts…
· You will start paying for it now but the bulk of the program will not go into effect until sometime in 2014. (Actually it is good because we have a prayer of repealing at least parts of it, if not all of it).
· The IRS will be enforcing the required HC mandate and they will have armed agents in the field.
· Ultimately the plan is to move from the Healthcard to RFID chipping of everyone.
· Healthcare will be more and more expensive.
· A huge pool of doctors plan to retire or leave medicine if the bill is not repealed… creating a doctor shortage.
· Walgreen’s in Oregon (first of many) has already said they will accept no more Medicaid patients.
And for those who are not good at reading between the lines and don’t want to do the research… all I can say to you is: What if it is all true??? At least give it some logical thought…
