July 22, 2009 - EMAIL RECEIVED - PROBLEMS WITH THE HEALTH CARE PLAN

I received this email today. I am not sure where the facts came from but judge for yourself....I simply "copied and pasted" this article.

Whether you are a Republican or a Democrat, Obama's socialized medicine will seriously harm every single one of us, and this includes those of us that are 65 and are now on Medicare. This plan is not about healthcare, it is about government control of us, PERIOD!

Examples of the law written within the 1000+ pages that Obama wants rushed through before summer recess (August 1st) and not read again by those enacting the law, like the stimulus law:

1. If you do not have a health plan you will only be able to select the government plan
2. You must pay for the government plan, you cannot opt out
3. If you have a private plan and are company transferred to another state you will not be able to keep your company plan, you will only be able to take the government health plan
4. If you drop your current private plan you will not be able to select another private plan, you will have to select the government plan
5. All actions between you and your doctor will be audited and controlled by a government employee assigned to your case
6. All your medical records will be in a data base for the government controllers to review and evaluate what procedures you will be allowed to have
7. Obama is on record of stating that we should consider hospice as our a way to reduce healthcare costs
8. Your age will control the amount and type of healthcare provided by the government
9. Expected wait time for certain surgeries and or being assigned a specialist may exceed one year
10. Current Medicare support will be reduced by more than $1.8 Billion, and 17 Million will be dropped from current Medicare rolls to help pay for government socialized medicine
11. Within 4 years there will be not be private healthcare
12. Current estimated costs for socialized medicine is at $1.6 Trillion and this estimate is probably low by a figure of 7 times!

This plan will bankrupt this country just like California and Massachusetts

Could this be what Obama wants, the actual destruction of this country as a world power?

Not one member of congress will be under this socialized medicine plan!
