HB 3200 - OBAMACARE

I understand why Nancy Pelosi urged Congress to pass Obamacare and read the details afterwards.  You can pull up the Bill on the internet.  Some interesting sections are as follows:

Page 50/section 152: The bill will provide insurance to all non-U.S. residents, even if they are here illegally.Why? I don't understand this provision except that it will get the Democrats more votes. And please don't tell me illegals cant/dont vote.
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. What? Are you kidding me? I find this ridiculous.
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). Is it any wonder that the Union workers in Wisconsin were going nuts?!
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. Now that's comforting. The guy that gives you mist to sniff up your nose for your allergies will be paid that same amount as the guy that drills a hole in your head.
Page 272. section 1145: Cancer hospital will ration care according to the patient's age. I have heard that the age "cutoff" for treatment is 76. Hang on Dad, you won't be able to go to M.D. Anderson and save your own life in a couple of years. THank God you got your cancer before Obama took office.
Page 317 and 321: The government will impose a prohibition on hospital expansion; however, communities may petition for an exception. Like it matters what the community wants.
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. HAD ENOUGH????

"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.- Honorable David Kithil of Marble Falls, Texas

Please contact your Congressional representative and let them know that this Bill must be repealed.
