Don't let the big word confuse you. There is a definition, and that is "To make so confused as to be difficult to understand or to render indistinct or dim."
That's what the government is trying to do with the great all-American Healthcare reform known as HR3200.
If you think you are going to get better health care, just think about doing your taxes. Do you understand what all those blanks refer to or what the words mean or what exactly you should put there? I was so obsessed with all the retoric coming from Congress and Mr. Obama that I downloaded the entire 1017 pages of the bill.
Reading this bill is a joke!
They have sections that refer to sections that refer to sections that change other sections by leaving out words or paragraphs! If you don't believe me, get your own copy and try reading it.
If you want to know why our government is in such sad shape, this should give you a clue. No wonder the people who do the "Town Hall Meetings" are getting blasted. How could anyone know what is in the bill, when it is so convoluted!
Just because I am a "give me the facts" man, I wanted to check it out and see if the Right Wing Boogie Men were speaking the truth. Just checking out two of their "facts" got me to the truth. Here are two examples:
- While citizens who do not have health care will be taxed (a penalty), non-resident aliens are exempt from paying the tax [Section 59B, Page 170, Line 1]
- When you pay your taxes, you usually get some credit for taxes you have paid the government, but this bill says "The tax imposed under this section shall not be treated as tax imposed by this chapter for purposes of determining the amount of any credit under this chapter or for purposes of section 55 [Section 441, Page 203, Lines 14 and 15]
I don't know who Nancy, Harry and Barack think they are. They can continue to obfuscate who ever you want in Washington, but we the people are tired of being obfuscated on. We don't need any more laws that no one can figure out, much less that get passed off to a bureaucracy (like IRS) to write a bunch of rules that no one can change.
Oh, by the way. Have you noticed that of the eight – yes eight co-sponsors of HR3200 only one has the guts to hold a Town Hall Meeting. If the people who put their name down as being willing to sponsor this thing don't have the guts to go around the country and explain it, that ought to tell you something. Maybe they don't know what it says – "just sounded like a good thing to get my name on."
