Has anyone read this book about Obamacare?

[Thee]

My friend told me about this e-book: ”Decoding the Obama Health Law: What You Need to Know” by Betsy McCaughey.

He told me that it explains it everything very clearly, but he is a corporate lawyer who reads dense texts for leisure, so I'm a bit skeptical about the the book's accessibility.

That's why I'm asking if anyone here has read it and what they thought about it. Is it worth checking out?

Here is all you need to know:
In 1996 after Hillarycare collapsed we had HIPAA!
HIPAA adds to health care administration costs:

According to AHA-funded research, hospitals nationwide are
planning to spend as much as $22 billion during the first 5 years to comply
with applicable HIPAA laws. For example, they project that implementing
minimum necessary requirements will cost a minimum $1.3 billion over 5
years for hospitals and up to $19.8 billion if hospitals must invest in new or
upgraded computer systems.


The new taxes, which cost some $675 billion over the next decade, include:

• A 2.3% excise tax on U.S. sales of medical devices that's already devastating the medical supply industry and its workforce. The levy is a $20 billion blow to an industry that employs roughly 400,000.

Several major manufacturers have been roiled, including: Michigan-based Stryker Corp., which blames the tax for 1,000 layoffs; Indiana-based Zimmer Corp., which cites the tax in laying off 450 and taking a $50 million charge against earnings; Indiana-based Cook Medical Inc., which has scrubbed plans to open a U.S. factory; Minnesota-based Medtronic Inc., which expects an annual charge against earnings of $175 million, and Boston Scientific Corp., which has opted to open plants in tax-friendlier Ireland and China to help offset a $100 million charge against earnings.

• A 3.8% surtax on investment income from capital gains and dividends that applies to single filers earning more than $200,000 and married couples filing jointly earning more than $250,000.

• A $50,000 excise tax on charitable hospitals that fail to meet new "community health assessment needs," "financial assistance" and other rules set by the Health and Human Services Dept.

• A $24 billion tax on the paper industry to control a pollutant known as black liquor.

• A $2.3 billion-a-year tax on drug companies.

• A 10% excise tax on indoor tanning salons.

• An $87 billion hike in Medicare payroll taxes for employees, as well as the self-employed.
• A hike in the threshold for writing off medical expenses to 10% of adjusted gross income from 7.5%.

• A new cap on flexible spending accounts of $2,500 a year.

• Elimination of the tax deduction for employer-provided prescription drug coverage for Medicare recipients.

• An income surtax of 1% of adjusted gross income, rising to 2.5% by 2016, on individuals who refuse to go along with ObamaCare by buying a policy not OK'd by the government.

• A $2,000 tax charged to employers with 50 or more workers for every full-time worker not offered health coverage.

• A $60 billion tax on health insurers.

• A 40% excise tax on so-called Cadillac, or higher cost, health insurance plans.

All told, there are 21 new or higher taxes imposed by Obama's health care law — and 21 more reasons to repeal it.

It is known as 'ObamaTax' now.

Just a point of information!

Considering it uses the word "decoding", it's not a book I'd have much faith in. It screams "I don't really care about the topic, I want to cash in on the latest buzz word".

Well, let's see, I guess before I read it, I should find out a little about the author:

Betsy McCaughey... let's see:

Her 1994 analysis of the dangers of the Clinton health plan in The New Republic won a National Magazine Award

Her 1993 attack on the Clinton healthcare plan was considered to be a major factor in the defeat of the bill, and brought her to the attention of Pataki, who then chose her as his Lieutenant Governor running mate. In 2009, her criticisms of the healthcare plan then being debated in the 111th Congress inspired the slogans "death panel" and "pulling the plug on Grandma", which nearly defeated the legislation.

And there you go.

Looks like "corporate lawyers" can be as nastily partisan as everyone else.
