With the current House bill(s) 4 on the table but I am speaking the current one up for vote - a

Top 10 Reasons Obamacare Is Wrong for America
Millions Will Lose Their Current I 1. nsurance. Period. End of Story: President
Obama wants Americans to believe they can keep their insurance if they like, but
research from the government, private research firms, and think tanks show this
is not the case. Proposed economic incentives, plus a government-run health plan
like the one proposed in the House bill, would cause 88.1 million people to see

2. Your Health Care Coverage Will Probably Change Anyway: Even if you kept
your private insurance, eventually most remaining plans—whether employer
plans or individual plans—would have to conform to new federal benefit

pill and works just as well, why not pay half for the thing that’s going to make you well.” Does that sound like a
government that will stay out of your health care decisions?
