Health care bill is the death blow to freedom

Tweet

Why? Because Americans will be forced[u][/u] to have health insurance, or pay stiff penalties for not getting it. Any time you are forced to do something, you are not free, but a slave. Other things that are wrong with the bill: It will cut Medicare funding to healthcare providers, who already don't get enough from the program to recoup their costs. Force insurance companies to only pay the Medicare rates, so healthcare providers will lose money all across the board and will never be able to make up their losses. this will discourage doctors and hospitals, and make shortages of good healthcare practitioners widespread. Taxes will be raised to cover the exorbitant costs of the program, which will put a greater burden on working Americans. Provides extra money for low income people to afford the mandatory healthcare, but the problem is that the low income people already can get Medicaid. But what about people like me (in the $20-30,000 range) who can't get insurance through their job (mine is considered part-time, but farm workers and the self-employed also lose out), but make too much for Medicaid and not enough to afford the hundreds of dollars for private health insurance? Insurance premiums will rise, to cover the taxes and penalties on insurance companies. Employers will be encouraged to move out of the country, in order to avoid the taxes and extra costs of providing more health insurance to employees. So we will lose even more jobs, at a time when the economy is trying to recover.
