Keith Hennessey, whose bio is here, has analyzed the Kennedy Health Care Reform bill that leaked late in the evening of Sunday, June 7, 2009.
Hennessey’s analysis is straightforward, factual (based on the legislative language) and worth reading.
It is clear that under the Kennedy bill, the government will be in control of your health care plan, and that your current plan will change dramatically, cost much more and that you will be forced to buy one.

How on earth is any of this consitutional????
Next93 Monday, June 8th at 7:39PM EDT (link)Since when does the Congress have the authority to force people to get a health coverage plan, or to turn over the authority to levy taxes to HHS?
I realize that the Obama administration views the consitution as more of a guideline, but now Kennedy’s staff seems to be thinking the same way.
Someone tell me, which country did I wake up in this morning?
Constitutional limits on the powers of the federal government:
It’s not just the law, it’s a good idea!

Would abortion

You would be forced to buy

Then the government

readmylips Tuesday, June 9th at 5:48AM EDT (link)Note to government…Please stay out of my personal life and responsibilities. The government messes up everything it tries to run. I like my present earned policies. Please help only those who are “disabled” and cannot work.
Also, give the government leaders the same health care as the rest of us “little” people. Why are they any different than the rest of us? Does God consider them more entitled or are we created equally? Or, I forgot, God is being thrown under the bus even tho’ he is our only hope.
Your health care plan details would be decided
