There are more people than makes me comfortable who know nothing about what’s going on in Washington these days. Many sit back and let everyone around them tell them what’s important. Why seek out important news when you can let it come to you?
In fact, I’ve taken that attitude many times in my own life, until more recent years. The passing of the Healthcare Reform bill, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, was my wake up call.
For those who are just waking up to the mess that was the passage of the healthcare reform bill back in March 2010, here is the answer to my title question, what is the healthcare bill?
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
According to Healthcare.gov, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act healthcare reform bill "have brought an end to some of the worst abuses of the insurance industry."
"These reforms have given Americans new rights and benefits, by helping more children get health coverage, ending lifetime and most annual limits on care, allowing young adults under 26 to stay on their parent’s health insurance, and giving patients access to recommended preventive services without cost."
But that’s not all.
"More rights, protections and benefits for Americans are on the way through 2014."
The truth about Obamacare and the healthcare reform bill as it stands now though is that most real experts believe it will lead to even higher costs and yet still leave millions uninsured.
If you really want to learn about the new health insurance legislation, then follow that Healthcare.gov link above and read what the government has to say about the healthcare law, but when you’re done with that, be sure to look at some other sources for information, sources that won’t give you a whitewashed version of the alleged benefits of Obamacare. The book, The Truth About Obamacare, is a great place to start.

Product Description
The Truth About Obamacare
In her new book, The Truth About Obamacare, Sally C. Pipes—president of the Pacific Research Institute and an acknowledged expert on health care reform—reveals what Democrats in Congress and President Obama don’t want you to know: Obamacare is even worse than most critics suspect. Debunking the myths that the current administration has touted, Pipes shows exactly what the new health care law will mean for you, your family, your doctor, and your wallet. She also reveals how, contrary to its promises, Obamacare will make health care more expensive, limit your options, lead to deteriorating medical care, and weaken America’s already frail economy.
From the Bookcover’s Inside Flap
This is going to hurt.
On March 23, 2010, President Barack Obama signed into law a bill that will lead to the largest expansion of government in the history of the United States. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was more than 2,400 pages long and will reportedly cost a cool $1 trillion over ten years, give or take a few hundred billion.
But sticker shock is just the beginning. In The Truth about Obamacare, Sally Pipes shows how Obama’s health care “reform” will crash into our economy and culture with a tidal wave of regulations that, taken together, will fundamentally alter the way we live, work, and see our doctors. How will all those changes affect you, your family, and your fellow Americans? Pipes goes over the bill with a fine-tooth comb, laying out the specifics of how and why Obamacare:
- will drive the country’s health care bill ever higher, according to the government’s own economists
- empowers bureaucrats to deny coverage of cutting-edge medicines in order to save the government money
- will exacerbate our nation’s shortage of doctors—and in fact, is already causing many to close up shop
- will make health care less affordable by forbidding insurers from offering inexpensive, bare-bones policies
- ratchets up Medicare payroll taxes—and adds brand new taxes on income—interest, capital gains, and dividends
- achieves every penny of its supposed “savings” through a series of legislative and accounting gimmicks
- creates a huge new enforcement bureaucracy—including 16,000 new IRS agents and an astounding 159 new boards and commissions—to hound taxpayers, businesses, hospitals, doctors, and insurers into compliance
- will still leave 23 million Americans uninsured by 2019, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
Is it too late to stop Obamacare? By no means, argues Pipes—who shows how Americans can, and must, force its repeal. Then, she offers ten principles for real reform that would make health care accessible and affordable for all without destroying individual freedom, quality treatment, medical innovation, and the economy.
Sally C. Pipes doesn’t stop with giving us a breakdown of what’s wrong with Obamacare. She discusses how we can fix the system we currently have that will not lead us down the path toward government run health care.
