One of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's main selling points of passing the massive government health care bill was that, "We have to pass the bill so you can find out what’s in it." Well, that Christmas morning anticipation is over. A congressional panel has peeled away the gauze, and the result isn't pretty. The chart reveals the nightmarish bureaucratic labyrinth caused by the 2,801 page beast President Obama signed into law in March.
The analysis was developed by the Joint Economic Committee minority, led by U.S Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas and Rep. Kevin Brady of Texas, and their report shows -- as critics feared before the bill was passed -- it would not only require a spiderweb of new government agencies spinning complex new rules, but that nearly every American will be paying more, not less, for lower-quality care.
Says Brady, "For Americans, as well as Congressional Democrats who didn’t bother to read the bill, this first look at the final health care law confirms what many fear, that reform morphed into a monstrosity of new bureaucracies, mandates, taxes and rationing that will drive up health care costs, hurt seniors and force our most intimate health care choices into the hands of Washington bureaucrats. If this is what passes for health care reform in America, then God help us all."
Democratic promises made before the law was signed that health care premiums would fall, and Americans would be able to keep their doctors under Obamacare, have already been disproven.
