Government authorities will mandate exactly what health insurance with what benefits workers and employers must buy, and the Act imposes tax penalties on them if they do not comply. Government authorities will dictate to insurance companies exactly what health insurance they must sell, to whom they must sell it, and what they can charge. Obamacare even redistributes premium income among insurers under a new “risk adjustment” mechanism.

This adds up to nothing short of a government takeover of health care.

Most of the bill’s provisions, except its tax increases, do not go into effect until 2014. So what follows is like a visit from the ghost of Christmas Future—shadows of what will be, but do not have to be, if we will change it.

In my appraisal of the law, I arrived at ten principal findings.


1. Government Takeover of Health Care.

2. Soaring Health Care Costs.

3. Government Health Care Rationing.

4. Short-circuiting Innovation.

5. Higher Taxes.

6. Runaway Government Spending.

7. Higher Federal Budget Deficits.

8. Lower Quality Care.

9. Slashing Jobs, Wages, and Economic Growth.

10. Broken Promises.

If you really want an eye opener, then read the article, however if you are still stuck in fantasyland..then please stay there and do not come out to vote in 2012..As Scrooge asked the Ghost of the Christmas future.."are these things that will be or might be"

    I have said on many occasion there is no difference between a Communist and a Democrat.

      With one exception WW..Communists let you know who they really are, but democrats try to hide the fact that they are communists so people will still vote for them..If they called themselves by their rightful name..they would be toast except for Bernie Sanders the only self avowed Communist in the Congress

        I doubt you ever did..I think the party was co-opted in 1912 by the progressives

          wildwonderful, Joe.

          You are both right. The only difference is that Communists use guns, the democrats, the present party, uses deceptions and lies.

            good to hear from you psycho, I've been sort of on Hiatus..so what would it take to get guns in the hands of the democrats?..They need to be found out..Maybe we could send somebody in behind enemy lines..Democrats are Liberals, liberals are progressives, Progressives are Communists..It is all very logical
