I know of the Health Reform Plan the president is talking about ... IF that is what you mean ... +3

Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them. . Senior citizens must submit to counsling every 5 years (more if they get sick) in order to discuss alternatives for end of life care. House bill p425 - 430 . The government will decide if your elderly parents get the treatment to keep living... or the 'alternative'

I read what you posted, but where's your proof?

Nowhere does the legislation say how much health plans will cost, but a family of four is eligible for SOME government assistance until their household income reaches $88,000 (House bill, p. 137). . If you earn more than that, you'll have to pay the cost no matter how high it goes.

And as soon as anything changes in your contract -- such as a change in copays or deductibles, which many insurers change every year -- . You'll have to move into a qualified PUBLIC plan instead (House bill, p. 16-17).

No I didn't know the health reform.
-
When you file your taxes, if you can't prove to the IRS that you are in a qualified plan, you'll be FINED thousands of dollars . As much as the average cost of a health plan for your family size . And then automatically enrolled in a randomly selected plan (House bill, p. 167-168). . Ever get fined by the IRS? Ever have to prove something to the IRS?

No, particularly, if you consider that they haven't agreed on one and they may never agree on it either, at the rate they're going And, you could be a tad more vague...btw

Actually, what you said is not true. What you posed was a skewed paraphrasing of the bill. The bill does refer to advanced health care planning as a service to the elderly so that they can have more control of their affairs. It does not say that the government may decide such things. It outlines the procedure for people who have made such decisions such as Hospice programs. I am a hospice volunteer and nothing in that section of the bill is any different than current hospice policy. When one agrees to hospice care, you sign a waiver for treatment of terminal conditions other than those that provide relief from symptoms. The bill in no way says that signing up for hospice or similar programs is mandatory.

The plan right now consists of about a 1000 pages... It will get bigger. . The last 500 pages or so involves the creation of dozens of new government councils, programs and advisory boards . These bureaucrats will decide of you are to old to get treatment... or too fat... or smoked too much... or if you are too handicaped. . Get off QA and start exersizing.

The National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective. . The goal is to reduce costs and “guide” your doctor’s decisions (p442, 446). . A bureaucrat will GUIDE your DOCTOR'S medical decisions! . If you are a DR, said bureaucrat will reject your medical procedure. Too many DR's around anyway.
-
Hospitals and doctors that are not “meaningful users” of the new system will face penalties. . “Meaningful user” isn’t defined in the bill. That will be left to the HHS secretary, who will be empowered to impose “more stringent measures of meaningful use over time” (pages 511, 518, 540-541)

The health-care industry is the largest employer in the U.S. . It produces almost 17 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product. . Yet this health care bill treats health care the way European governments do... as a cost problem instead of a growth industry.
-
The fact is nationalization and rationing health care scares me... health care run by government office workers and bean counters scares me... . I have seen in my career, in my business, the sheer brainpower foundation that is changing the way medicine and drugs are being researched. . We gave medical researchers the mathematical tools that are way more advance than anything seen before on earth. . We have to give them time to grow into those tools... and they are!! . This bill will choke them, and slow the advancement of science itself. . Just the braindroppings of a DP

Yes. We dated, briefly, in the early 90's. I left him for Education reform.
