We’ve already covered all the reasons why ObamaCare would be devastating to the economy and to your health. Fortunately, all this attention is getting somewhere!
But first, a huge bombshell: nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office warns the dire economic consequence if this health care bill is passed. CBO Director Douglas Elmendorf testified before a Senate committee, and it’s definitely not what the Democrats want to hear.
Then Rep. Mike Ross (D-AR), a key member of the Blue Dog Coalition, came out saying several fiscal conservative Democrats will oppose the current bill. The White House and House Speaker Pelosi (D-CA) will not be pleased…
The Investor’s Business Daily also did some investigative reporting to find that private insurance will be discontinued if this health care bill passes:
…Under the Orwellian header of “Protecting The Choice To Keep Current Coverage,” the “Limitation On New Enrollment” section of the bill clearly states:
“Except as provided in this paragraph, the individual health insurance issuer offering such coverage does not enroll any individual in such coverage if the first effective date of coverage is on or after the first day” of the year the legislation becomes law.
So we can all keep our coverage, just as promised — with, of course, exceptions: Those who currently have private individual coverage won’t be able to change it. Nor will those who leave a company to work for themselves be free to buy individual plans from private carriers.
Sneaky, huh? This bill doesn’t make health care more affordable or provide more choices. It does the exact opposite, and the Democrats want to force it down our throats.
