Article: Obama's Healthcare makes private insurance ILLEGAL

" Congress: It didn't take long to run into an "uh-oh" moment when reading the House's "health care for all Americans" bill. Right there on Page 16 is a provision making individual private medical insurance illegal. " (emphasis and colour added)

" It turns out we were right: The provision would indeed outlaw individual private coverage. Under the Orwellian header of "Protecting The Choice To Keep Current Coverage," the "Limitation On New Enrollment" section of the bill clearly states:

" "Except as provided in this paragraph, the individual health insurance issuer offering such coverage does not enroll any individual in such coverage if the first effective date of coverage is on or after the first day" of the year the legislation becomes law. "

Meaning that if you currently have coverage you'll be able to keep it ... but not change it. And if you leave that company for any reason, your only option will be the government solution. This is "choice?"

" What wasn't known until now is that the bill itself will kill the market for private individual coverage by not letting any new policies be written after the public option becomes law. (emphasis, colour, and size added)

" The legislation is also likely to finish off health savings accounts, a goal that Democrats have had for years. They want to crush that alternative because nothing gives individuals more control over their medical care, and the government less, than HSAs. "

Written right into the bill as quoted earlier. Kiss your healthcare goodbye.

Mad yet?

Consider this: When foreign leaders (especially those with a government-run health care system) need medical help, where do they come?

Right here to the United States.

But not any longer. This is Osama's (er...Obama's) change.

It stinks.
