Ten Great Reasons to Reject ObamaCare

There is a lot of information and misinformation out there about Hr 3200 — the healthcare reform bill. And much of it —the information and the bill — is confusing. I've read a fair amount (admittedly not all) of the bill. It appears to be written with the express goal of being indecipherable to the public. So let's skip a lot of the messy details (what exactly will the health advisory council's task be, will there be rationing or not, etc) and get right to the stuff of which we can be certain. There's a lot of good reasons not to like this plan. Here's my top ten:

1. Government does nothing efficiently. Why do we want them entrenched even more in our healthcare system?
2. The Supreme Court ordained the constitutional right to abortion stating that anti-abortion laws violate the sanctity of the private doctor/patient relationship. How can the Federal Government possibly get entwined in providing healthcare with any specificity? HR 3200 should be constitutionally dead-on-arrival.
3. Obama can't be trusted to play this straight. He's on record strongly preferring universal healthcare. No matter what this bill says, we must assume it moves the ball toward his goal.
4. There is no mention of Tort reform in HR 3200. Any plan that doesn't address the root of all waste in our health care system is worthless.
5. Medicaid/Medicare are about to go bankrupt — and those two quasi-public options are preferable to universal care. How, please tell me, can anyone possibly believe that ObamaCare won't end up costing 10 times the amount anyone is projecting?
6. Congress has repeatedly rejected moving their own plans to the "public option." If it ain't good enough for thee, keep it away from me.
7. This is a huge intrusion on States' sovereignty. No matter how praiseworthy the reform may be, it dramatically shifts healthcare policy to the federal government. And interstate commerce is a weak tool to justify this. The 10th Amendment isn't just a suggestion, folks.
8. It places insurance mandates on small businesses. This will crush profitability and drive up unemployment. There are better ways to get small companies to offer insurance — how about tax incentives instead of penalties?
9. The unions support it—why? Members of the largest unions already have health insurance via their collective bargaining extortion schemes. What's in it for the unions to "fix" the system? Be afraid. Be very afraid.
10. It's being rushed through. We shouldn't accept that any plan must happen in 3 months. The Democrats have been trying to pull this off for almost two decades — where's the crisis? Any problem worth solving is worth taking the time to solve right.

What do you think? Did I leave anything off the list?
