FINALLY someone is reading it!!

Peter Fleckstein (aka Fleckman) is reading it and has been posting on
Twitter his findings.
This is from his postings (Note: All comments are Fleckman's)


Guy has a pretty limited ability to read.




Pg 22 of the HC Bill MANDATES the Govt will audit books of ALL
EMPLOYERS that self insure!!

It mandates a STUDY to verify that those who choose to self-insure are
financially solvent and able to actually meet claims of their employees.
this study reports 18 months after the start of the program.


Pg 30 Sec 123 of HC bill - THERE WILL BE A GOVT COMMITTEE that
decides what treatments and benefits you get

This is also done in every private plan, all insurance has somebody
who decides what to cover...


Pg 29 lines 4-16 in the HC bill - YOUR HEALTHCARE IS RATIONED!!!

Health care is already rationed by denying applications for insurance or
denying claims of the insured.


Pg 42 of HC Bill - The Health Choices Commissioner will choose your
HC benefits for you. You have no choice!

First, you would need to choose to participate in the PUBLIC plan, then
you have three classes of public plans to choose, ranging from basic to
premium.


PG 50 Section 152 in HC bill - HC will be provided to ALL non US
citizens, illegal or otherwise

So, a tourist can be covered. Seems like a nice idea, shame to let
visitors die when they come to visit. Our guys have been covered in
Finland for free when we had a problem over there.


Pg 58HC Bill - Govt will have real-time access to individuals'
finances and a National ID Healthcard will be issued!

Misreading of the text. The insurance card will be designed to permit
instant verifiacation of whether the procedure is covered for that
person, in that place, with those doctors. No more finding out 3 weeks
after surgery that "your anesthesiologist wasn't in your plan, here's
your $15,000 Bill."


Pg 59 HC Bill lines 21-24 Govt will have direct access to your
banks' accounts for election funds transfer

Erroneous reading, First "election", not part of Bill, second, this is
in the part of the Bill relating to plan dealings with providers, this
means your doctors get paid faster, by electronic transfer, rather than
waiting for "lost" checks to be sent.


PG 65 Sec 164 is a payoff subsidized plan for retirees and their
families in unions & community orgs (ACORN).

Actually, it would let major companies and unions who have taken on the
health care for retirees, to buy into the federal plan. If you hate the
federal plan, this can hardly be called a payoff. Community orgs. are
not mentioned, unless they are already providing insurance coverage for
their members.


Pg 72 Lines 8-14 Govt is creating a HC Exchange to bring private HC
plans under Govt control.

That is a bizzare reading of the actual text.


PG 84 Sec 203 HC bill - Govt mandates ALL benefit pkgs for private
HC plans in the Exchange

That is plain wrong. Read the page, note the IF's and MAY's


PG 85 Line 7 HC Bill - Specs for Benefit Levels for Plans = The Govt
will ration your Healthcare!

Again with the rationing... Geez...

Actually it says that the commissioner will set standards for the
participating suppliers in the PUBLIC plan, that will make all the
premium plans offer the same stuff, so the buyers can compare apples to
apples.


PG 91 Lines 4-7 HC Bill - Govt mandates linguistic-appropriate
services. Example: Translation for illegal aliens

Illegal aliens are the only people in the US who are not literate in
english? This also suggests that materials should be available in
Braille and signing for the deaf should be accommodated, Hmmm, seems
fair to me.



I'm bored, the twitterer is a twit at best...


Read the actual Bill, the guy has it more wrong than right.
