Have you read any part of the proposed legislation?
On page 16 of the House bill: private insurance will become illegal. Insurance companies cannot write new policies, people will lose their existing policy if they change jobs, if they change coverage, or if they change prices. Once any aspect of your private health insurance changes after this bill goes into effect, you can't renew it. You have to go public option.
On page 29 of the House bill, it is admitted that our health care will be rationed.
On page 42, the health choices commissioner will decide health benefits for you. You will have no choice.
Page 58, every person will be issued a national ID health card.
Page 59 the federal government will have direct, real-time access to all individual bank accounts for electronic funds transfer to pay.
On page 72, all private health care plans must conform to government rules to participate in a health care exchange. Any individual who doesn't have acceptable health care defined by the government will be taxed two-and-a-half percent of their income each year.
Officers and employees of government health care bureaucracy will have access to all American financial and personal records, page 195.
Page 203, the tax imposed under this section shall not be treated as a tax.
You oughta do yourself a favor and find a tall oak tree and put that noose to some use.
perhaps you should read it instead of letting some right wing whacko interpret it for you:

I have read this--notably--there is NO nitty gritty DETAILS in this proposal.
Like how much is this going to COST & exactly WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR IT!
It certainly does not represent the 1017 PAGE bill that our supreme--most intelligent--articulate--leader--or any of our elected representative HAVE STILL NOT READ.
Your link is simply a proposal on what they want to do.
Nice try though.
http://docs.house.gov/edlabor/AAHCA-BillText-071409.pdfA BILL
To provide affordable, quality health care for all Americans
and reduce the growth in health care spending, and
for other purposes.
Notice that it's "A BILL" not a proposal.
