Pelosi & Obamacare's H.R. 3962 Nightmares! Provides Automatic FREE Healthcare for Newborns of Illegal Immigrants & Exempting Them from Massive Fines:

A Nancy Pelosi & Obamacare Reform Nightmares! H.R. 3962, Hello Socialism and Goodbye Free Markets; Provides Automatic FREE Healthcare for Newborns of Illegal Immigrants & Exempting Undocumented Immigrants from Massive Fines:
By Marc Chamot

Shame on you, Nancy Pelosi! She’s turning out to be the real “whip and a liar,” behind the Obamacare, healthcare reforms.

It seems now that when President Obama said that the undocumented wouldn’t get taxpayer financed medical healthcare, it was all a big LIE.

A real sad legacy for Democrats, President Barack Obama and his Democratic cohorts in the U.S. congress will be known as the Biggest Liars Party.

Do you remember Congressman Joe Wilson’s “You Lie" to Obama, when President Obama said the undocumented wouldn’t get healthcare benefits at TAXPAYER’S expense?

It’s was a big lie all along, just out in the Wall Street Journal, they are reporting on that EVIL Obama and Nancy Pelosi’s H.R. 3962, the one that they are voting for in the house today.

Look here, and check out what they’re pushing for now. LOOK at some of these idiocies that are included in the Democrat’s healthcare proposals. They are definitely trying to pull the wool over the people’s eyes, folks.

Sec. 59b (pp. 297-299) says that when you file your taxes, you must include proof that you are in a qualified plan. If not, you will be fined thousands of dollars. Illegal immigrants are exempt from this requirement.

Sec. 305 (p. 189) provides for automatic Medicaid enrollment of newborns that do not otherwise have insurance.

In addition to reducing future Medicare funding by an estimated $500 billion, the bill fundamentally changes how Medicare pays doctors and hospitals, permitting the government to dictate treatment decisions.

They don’t want to just slash and save 500 billion dollars from Medicaid, take one look where they want to re-direct healthcare money to: Questionable Priorities: While the bill will slash Medicare funding, it will also direct billions of dollars to numerous inner-city social work and diversity programs with vague standards of accountability. It’s an expansion of a socialistic system folks!

The bill also contains other elements, like the government will decide you treatments, NOT YOU nor your doctors!

The congressional dictator, Nancy Pelosi is threatening and pulling her stunts against any Democrats who don’t support this bill. Even the more conservative Blue Dogs are risking their political careers, to stay in Pelosi’s good side for approving this disastrous bill.

Okay friends, this isn’t strange at all coming from agenda driven liberal Democrats. This is typical liberal progressive politics that is common in San Francisco and California. These politicians don’t care one IOTA about VOTERS and their constituencies; they care more about their AGENDAS pulling through more than anything else.

It’s a pretty scary mindset; it’s a dangerous mindset, because these progressive agendas have brought about chaos, higher taxes, and mayhem to most people, and a rash of lawsuits that taxpayers have to pay for.

San Francisco is one of the most sued cities in the nation, these San Francisco supervisors don’t care if the city goes broke because of it, as long as their ideologies, and their agendas becomes the LAW of the LAND.

This is the pattern I’m seeing with this president and his tool in the U.S. House, Nancy Pelosi and company. And folks, that is very dangerous for the future of this country.

What the Pelosi Health-Care Bill Really Says
The health bill that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is bringing to a vote (H.R. 3962) is 1,990 pages. Here are some of the details you need to know.

What the government will require you to do:

• Sec. 202 (p. 91-92) of the bill requires you to enroll in a "qualified plan." If you get your insurance at work, your employer will have a "grace period" to switch you to a "qualified plan," meaning a plan designed by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. If you buy your own insurance, there's no grace period. You'll have to enroll in a qualified plan as soon as any term in your contract changes, such as the co-pay, deductible or benefit.

• 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.

• Sec. 303 (pp. 167-168) makes it clear that, although the "qualified plan" is not yet designed, it will be of the "one size fits all" variety. The bill claims to offer choice—basic, enhanced and premium levels—but the benefits are the same. Only the co-pays and deductibles differ. You will have to enroll in the same plan, whether the government is paying for it or you and your employer are footing the bill.

• Sec. 59b (pp. 297-299) says that when you file your taxes, you must include proof that you are in a qualified plan. If not, you will be fined thousands of dollars. Illegal immigrants are exempt from this requirement.

• Sec. 412 (p. 272) says that employers must provide a "qualified plan" for their employees and pay 72.5% of the cost, and a smaller share of family coverage, or incur an 8% payroll tax. Small businesses, with payrolls from $500,000 to $750,000, are fined less.

Eviscerating Medicare:
In addition to reducing future Medicare funding by an estimated $500 billion, the bill fundamentally changes how Medicare pays doctors and hospitals, permitting the government to dictate treatment decisions.

• Sec. 1302 (pp. 672-692) moves Medicare from a fee-for-service payment system, in which patients choose which doctors to see and doctors are paid for each service they provide, toward what's called a "medical home."

The medical home is this decade's version of HMO-restrictions on care. A primary-care provider manages access to costly specialists and diagnostic tests for a flat monthly fee. The bill specifies that patients may have to settle for a nurse practitioner rather than a physician as the primary-care provider. Medical homes begin with demonstration projects, but the HHS secretary is authorized to "disseminate this approach rapidly on a national basis."

A December 2008 Congressional Budget Office report noted that "medical homes" were likely to resemble the unpopular gatekeepers of 20 years ago if cost control was a priority.

• Sec. 1114 (pp. 391-393) replaces physicians with physician assistants in overseeing care for hospice patients.

• Secs. 1158-1160 (pp. 499-520) initiates programs to reduce payments for patient care to what it costs in the lowest cost regions of the country. This will reduce payments for care (and by implication the standard of care) for hospital patients in higher cost areas such as New York and Florida.

• Sec. 1161 (pp. 520-545) cuts payments to Medicare Advantage plans (used by 20% of seniors). Advantage plans have warned this will result in reductions in optional benefits such as vision and dental care.

• Sec. 1402 (p. 756) says that the results of comparative effectiveness research conducted by the government will be delivered to doctors electronically to guide their use of "medical items and services."

Questionable Priorities:
While the bill will slash Medicare funding, it will also direct billions of dollars to numerous inner-city social work and diversity programs with vague standards of accountability.

• Sec. 399V (p. 1422) provides for grants to community "entities" with no required qualifications except having "documented community activity and experience with community healthcare workers" to "educate, guide, and provide experiential learning opportunities" aimed at drug abuse, poor nutrition, smoking and obesity. "Each community health worker program receiving funds under the grant will provide services in the cultural context most appropriate for the individual served by the program."

These programs will "enhance the capacity of individuals to utilize health services and health related social services under Federal, State and local programs by assisting individuals in establishing eligibility . . . and in receiving services and other benefits" including transportation and translation services.

• Sec. 222 (p. 617) provides reimbursement for culturally and linguistically appropriate services. This program will train health-care workers to inform Medicare beneficiaries of their "right" to have an interpreter at all times and with no co-pays for language services.

• Secs. 2521 and 2533 (pp. 1379 and 1437) establishes racial and ethnic preferences in awarding grants for training nurses and creating secondary-school health science programs. For example, grants for nursing schools should "give preference to programs that provide for improving the diversity of new nurse graduates to reflect changes in the demographics of the patient population." And secondary-school grants should go to schools "graduating students from disadvantaged backgrounds including racial and ethnic minorities."

• Sec. 305 (p. 189) provides for automatic Medicaid enrollment of newborns that do not otherwise have insurance.
