CFA Urges "NO" on Pelosi's Health Bill, Will Rate Vote Against

CFA informed Members of the U.S. House of Representatives that we WILL RATE a vote against the House Democrat health bill.

From our alert:

America cannot afford this costly takeover of the health care industry under the guise of “Affordable Health Care for America,” which will grow the size and scope of government to an unprecedented and unsustainable level, with no beneficial results.

While Speaker Pelosi claims that her bill “only” cost $894 billion over ten years, the real cost will be much higher. Already, there have been admissions that billions more on higher spending for public health, a reinsurance program to hold down retiree health costs, payments for preventive services and more were added. Further the package adopts a shenanigan played by Sen. Reid on the Senate side by taking ‘doc fix’ out of the equation – and in doing so disguising the real price tag of this costly package.

Adding insult to injury, the bill contains fourteen new tax increases the worst one of which is a new 5.4 percent surtax which will fall most heavily on small business profits.

While heaping massive costs on the American taxpayer, the bill does not even achieve its goals of universal coverage, leaving 18 million still uninsured. Americans deserve better, less costly and more effective “reform.”
