Is BidenCare ObamaCare?

Joe Biden promised that he would bring back the "Affordable Care Act" - aka ObamaCare. So, in order to do our due-diligence let's refresh our memories of what was in ObamaCare as proposed by Barack Obama.

Here's what I wrote on the subject when Obama was President:

What's In The Healthcare Bill?

Our Founders wrote: "All political power is inherent in the people; all government originates with the people; it's founded upon their will only, and it's instituted for the good of the people as a whole."

Many of my listeners are very concerned about what is proposed in the ObamaCare plan for 'end-of-life-counseling. Worry over a government takeover of healthcare that will not only allow Washington bureaucrats to use "comparative effectiveness research" to dictate to doctors what treatments they can prescribe for patients, and the institution of a National Healthcare ID, as well as what Obama's special health policy advisor, Ezekiel Emanuel, said in the Hastings Center Report, that health services should not be guaranteed to "individuals who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens," that "an obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia."

Wow.

I mean double Wow.

Not only a government take-over of healthcare, like the take-over of the banks and auto industry, but total control of health...including who gets what kind of care...or no care at all.

Want to know more of what is in Obama's healthcare reform plan?

Here is just a few that has been found, but those who have read the bill! ...

Pg 22 - MANDATES the Government will audit books of ALL EMPLOYERS that self insure
Pg 30 Sec 123 - THERE WILL BE A Government COMMITTEE that decides what treatments/benefits you may have.
Pg 29 lines 4-16 - YHEALTH CARE will be RATIONED
Pg 42 - The Health Choices Commissioner will choose health care Benefits for you.
Pg 50 Section 152 - Health care will be provided for ALL non US citizens, illegal or otherwise
Pg 58 - a National ID Healthcard will be issued
PG 65 Sec 164 - Not everyone will have to go on the plan. There will be a separate, subsidized plan for Government retirees and their families including Unions & community orgs (ACORN).
Pg 95 Lines 8-18 - The Government will use groups i.e., ACORN & Americorps to sign up individuals for the Government health care plan
PG 102 Lines 12-18 - Medicaid Eligible Individuals will be automatically enrolled in a national Medicaid program. No choice
Pg 124 lines 24-25 - No company can sue the Government on price fixing. No "judicial review" against Government Monopoly
Pg 127 Lines 1-16 - Doctors - The Government will tell you what you can earn.
Pg 149 Lines 16-24 - ANY Employer with a payroll over $400k who does not provide the public option will pay 8% tax on all payroll
Pg 150 Lines 9-13 - Employers with a payroll between $251k & $400k who do not provide the public option well pay 2-6% tax on all payroll

There was more, and there is more in what BidenCare will be.
