Ok, only on Page 23 and I have to take a break before I start yelling at the monitor …

SEC. 6008. IMPOSITION OF ANNUAL FEE ON BRANDED PRESCRIPTION PHARMACEUTICAL MANUFACTURERS AND IMPORTERS.

Medicaid, Medicare, and Tricare transactions excepted of course

SEC. 6009. IMPOSITION OF ANNUAL FEE ON MEDICAL DEVICE MANUFACTURERS AND IMPORTERS.

Increase capital costs for Doctors & Hospitals… which we pay for.

SEC. 6010. IMPOSITION OF ANNUAL FEE ON HEALTH INSURANCE PROVIDERS.

One common thread through all these sections is the language surrounding the taxation. It’s labeled an excise tax, but I couldn’t tell you what the tax rate is. It sounds like they set an amount to raise, such as 1 billion dollars. An entity will then get an assigned a percentage of that billion based on what percentage of the market the entity has.

For example here is the language for sec. 6010:

IN GENERAL.—With respect to each covered
entity, the fee under this section for any calendar
year shall be equal to an amount that bears the
same ratio to $6,700,000,000 as—
(A) the covered entity’s net premiums written during the preceding calendar year with respect to health insurance for any United States health risk, bear to
(B) the aggregate net premiums of all covered entities written during such preceding calendar year with respect to such health insurance.

If I’m interpreting this correctly then:
a) Premiums will be taxed, and thus you will pay more. Either in increased co-pays or in higher premiums.
b) That fee, while seemingly small now, will have to be increased every year, since it isn’t indexed for inflation. Raise the annual fee (always tempting to help ‘balance’ that budget) and introduce regulation (or a nationally subsidized plan) that will rob private insurers of premiums, and you could set off a positive feedback loop that will wipe out private insurers.

It’s there, pages

However, the language is guaranteed to change behind closed-doors before the economic damage can be independently scored.

Because he’d have to be standing.

I bet the House Bill is even bigger, more pork to dole out. Wait till they have to merge those two bills.

Liberalism at its core is coercion and force. For all the moral preening the Left does about how much they care and how heartless we conservatives are the truth is quite the opposite. There is nothing kind about using the force of government to compel ostensibly free citizens to surrender significant portions of their labor and property (income) to the state to serve the purposes not of the nation but of the State, i.e. the government.
Liberalism makes half the population servants to the other half of the population through various social programs that cannot be opted out of even though our lives are diminished by the confiscation of our earnings.
Liberalism root and branch is anathema to the American tradition of individualism as well as poisonous to liberty for how can liberty exist when the state seeks to control the lives of individuals rather than the individual himself?
Liberals are always trying to claim the moral high ground but how can this be a valid claim when their entire agenda can only be enacted by force?
Conservatism is the truly compassionate ideology because it seeks to free, and keep free, the individual from the state.
I do not now and will never work for the state and will die fighting against it if I must.

People with back problems should be advised not to lift said bill.
