Still waiting for your reasons (0.00 / 0)

for opposing H.R. 3200. So far you've stated that you oppose it because illegal aliens would get free health care. Of course, not only do they not get free health care, but I pointed out that:

SEC. 246. NO FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS.

Nothing in this subtitle shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States.

doesn't even let them get financial assistance if they are poor.

You also have stated that the "health care system should not be run by Government," despite that nearly 28% of Americans currently do, and have for over 40 years.

So what sections of H.R. 3200 do you object to?

Taxes will go up (0.00 / 0)

In light of the following statement by the CBO, it's safe to assume our taxes will go up to cover costs.  Needless to say, I don't think American taxpayers should have to reach into their pockets yet again for a government experiment.

"According to CBO's and JCT's assessment, enacting H.R. 3200 would result in a net increase in the federal budget deficit of $239 billion over the 2010-2019 period."

The net increase you cite (0.00 / 0)

includes the annual Medicare reimbursement to providers adjustment of $245 million. This adjustment will happen whether or not H.R. 3200 is passed, and so cannot be honestly added to the cost of the bill.

Chicago-style politics (0.00 / 0)

It's a shame so many people are falling for the Chicago-style politics, but those games will eventually be terminated... and I look forward to that day.

Always a good thing to throw out (0.00 / 0)

a non-sequitur when you have no real rebuttal. Of course, not responding at all is best.

Dammit - I forgot about (0.00 / 0)

"I'm gonna take my ball and go home." Okay everyone - no more discussion about health insurance reform - antiEFCA has taken his ball and gone home.

But we do look forward to debunking your bullshit when you bring it when the EFCA comes up for a vote.
