Freedoms Lost Under Passage of Health "Reform" Law

    Shawn Tully of Fortune sifted through both health care bills and found out that in both of them, Obama's claims that Americans will be able to keep their existing health plans isn't true.  The bills reveal a web of restrictions, fines, and mandates that would radically change your health-care coverage.

    "If you prize choosing your own cardiologist or urologist under your company's Preferred Provider Organization plan (PPO), if your employer rewards your non-smoking, healthy lifestyle with reduced premiums, if you love the bargain Health Savings Account (HSA) that insures you just for the essentials, or if you simply take comfort in the freedom to spend your own money for a policy that covers the newest drugs and diagnostic tests -- you may be shocked to learn that you could lose all of those good things under the rules proposed in the two bills that herald a health-care revolution.


    In short, the Obama platform would mandate extremely full, expensive, and highly subsidized coverage -- including a lot of benefits people would never pay for with their own money -- but deliver it through a highly restrictive, HMO-style plan that will determine what care and tests you can and can't have. It's a revolution, all right, but in the wrong direction."

    Here is more information on just five of the freedoms we just lost because of the passage of Obamacare.

    Here are 20 more freedoms, as patients, that we just lost under Health care "reform" :

    1. You are young and don't want health insurance? You are starting up a small business and need to minimize expenses, and one way to do that is to forego health insurance? Tough. You have to pay $750 annually for the "privilege." (Section 1501)


    2. You are young and healthy and want to pay for insurance that reflects that status? Tough. You'll have to pay for premiums that cover not only you, but also the guy who smokes three packs a day, drink a gallon of whiskey and eats chicken fat off the floor. That's because insurance companies will no longer be able to underwrite on the basis of a person's health status. (Section 2701).

    3. You would like to pay less in premiums by buying insurance with lifetime or annual limits on coverage? Tough. Health insurers will no longer be able to offer such policies, even if that is what customers prefer. (Section 2711).

    4. Think you'd like a policy that is cheaper because it doesn't cover preventive care or requires cost-sharing for such care? Tough. Health insurers will no longer be able to offer policies that do not cover preventive services or offer them with cost-sharing, even if that's what the customer wants. (Section 2712).

Obamacare: If This Passes, a Poll Showed 46% of Doctors Will Retire Which will Lead to Mega-Rationing

    Obamacare will lead to rationing.  If you think that there is rationing now, then there will really be a huge increase in rationing if 46% of doctors retire or leave their practice if Obamacare is passed.  Obamacare is going to hurt both Americans and America. But, was that its intended purpose?  Who knows with this radical administration and its radical agenda that wants to "transform" America and force tyranny upon its citizens.  So, congressman vote yes, at your own peril.

    Here is a repost from Musings of a Vast Right-Winger:

    Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A new poll that should cause significant concerns for backers of the pro-abortion Senate health care bill finds nearly half the nation's physicians would consider quitting if the bill becomes law. The survey, appearing in the New England Journal of Medicine, indicates 46 percent of doctors would consider leaving their practice.



    The poll finds 46.3% of primary care physicians (family medicine and internal medicine) feel that the passing of a public option will either force them out of medicine or make them want to leave medicine.


    Doctors also seem to understand the impact that will have as 72% of physicians feel that a public option would have a negative impact on physician supply, with 45% feeling it will “decline or worsen dramatically” and 27% predicting it will “decline or worsen somewhat.


    The medical journal issued an editorial saying it didn't think that many doctors would quit but did worry about the adverse impact.


    “While a sudden loss of half of the nations physicians seems unlikely, a very dramatic decrease in the physician workforce could become a reality as an unexpected side effect of health reform," it said.


    Another 62.7% of physicians feel that health reform is needed but should be implemented in a more targeted, gradual way, as opposed to the sweeping overhaul that is in legislation.


    The respected medical journal also found 41% of physicians feel that income and practice revenue will “decline or worsen dramatically” and 30% feel income will “decline or worsen somewhat” with a public option.


    Just 28.7 percent of doctors support the pro-abortion health care bill pending in the House


    The Medicus Firm, a leading physician search and consulting firm based in Atlanta and Dallas, conducted the survey.


    Kevin Perpetua, managing partner for the Medicus Firm, commented on the study, according to CNS News.


    “Many physicians feel that they cannot continue to practice if patient loads increase while pay decreases,” Perpetua said in the study. “The overwhelming prediction from physicians is that health reform, if implemented inappropriately, could create a detrimental combination of circumstances, and result in an environment in which it is not possible for most physicians to continue practicing medicine.”


    “Health-care reform and increasing government control of medicine may be the final straw that causes the physician workforce to break down," he concluded.
