In the dark of night on a Saturday they did it. Two hundred and twenty members of the House of Representatives voted to place the government in control of your health care. It’s the largest expansion of government in our lifetimes. The $1.2 TRILLION package features rationed care for seniors and veterans, nearly $700 billion in tax hikes on small businesses, a government-run insurance plan and a mandate to purchase government-forced insurance (backed by criminal sanctions).

There are over 2,000 pages to wade through before we know exactly what else is in Speaker Pelosi‘s government-run health care bill. Unfortunately, the speaker broke her promise to make the final bill public 72 hours prior to a vote. What is certain is the bill that passed last night:

• Creates new entitlement programs based on the nearly bankrupt Medicare and Medicaid programs;
• Forces individuals to pay for government-regulated insurance or face criminal sanctions (effectively a $15,000 mandate based on Congressional Budget Office projections);
• Outlaws private health insurance plans, rendering false the claim that you can keep the insurance plan you have now;
• Pays for reform by taxing small businesses and cutting $500 billion from Medicare;
• Places a bureaucrat in between you and your doctor to make sure your care can be rationed.

Doctors will become scarcer as their civil rights are diminished, Americans will have less choice and lower quality care under a government-run insurance plan and millions of middle-class citizens will drown in unbearable taxes.
