Pelosi’s Blueprint For Healthcare Leads To Government Takeover

The new House health care bill, H.R. 3962, unveiled by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D, Ca., yesterday clocks in at 1,990 pages and about 400,000 words. As written, the bill purports to cost only $1.05 trillion over the first 10 years and is paid for by over $700 billion in tax increases and cuts to Medicare Advantage and Medicare prescription drug payments. But, as troubling as those numbers are, the scariest thing about the bill is the solid foundation it lays for a complete government take over of the health care sector of our economy.
