House passed a nasty bill      8-Nov-09 12:15 pm    
Read this and get just a few of the points.


Here's one that shows that a person might be required to pay over $20,300 in medical if he makes about $102,000 a year.

This is just plain nuts when the real problem is that we already pay too much for medical costs.

Leave it to the nutcase Pelosi crowd and of course Obama for pushing a piece of garbage like this so hard.


"""""""""""• Sec. 224 (p. 118) provides that 18 months after the bill becomes law, the Secretary of Health and Human Services will decide what a "qualified plan" covers and how much you'll be legally required to pay for it. That's like a banker telling you to sign the loan agreement now, then filling in the interest rate and repayment terms 18 months later.

On Nov. 2, the Congressional Budget Office estimated what the plans will likely cost. An individual earning $44,000 before taxes who purchases his own insurance will have to pay a $5,300 premium and an estimated $2,000 in out-of-pocket expenses, for a total of $7,300 a year, which is 17% of his pre-tax income. A family earning $102,100 a year before taxes will have to pay a $15,000 premium plus an estimated $5,300 out-of-pocket, for a $20,300 total, or 20% of its pre-tax income. Individuals and families earning less than these amounts will be eligible for subsidies paid directly to their insurer.
