Georgia Congressman Dr. Paul Broun Opposes Obama Care

A "Government Commissioner" may decide your health care!

Another little-noticed provision of the health care behemoth gives Big Brother sweeping new authority under the guise of a "Health Care Commissioner." Read the complete article.

The Health Choices Commissioner would establish “the benefits to be made available under Exchange-participating health benefit plans during each plan year,” according to page 84 of the 1,018-page bill. That means the commissioner would determine what benefits the participating insurance companies must offer participating customers in the exchange

The commissioner would also set rules for insurance companies to participate in the health insurance exchange, and establish criteria for individuals to receive federal subsidies to purchase insurance in the exchange, according to section 142 on page 42 of the legislation.

Further, the commissioner would have the authority to establish “automatic enrollment” of individuals who qualify for the health insurance exchange....

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) believes giving one bureaucrat this much power over the health insurance of Americans is among the least noticed provisions of the legislation.

“The American people want two things from health care reform: lower costs and more choices,” Boehner said in a statement. “Yet Democrats have done exactly the opposite coming up with a bill that actually raises costs--increasing the deficit by $240 billion--and letting a new federal bureaucrat make health care decisions that should be left to patients and their doctors.”

The legislation also gives the commissioner power to determine who can participate and under what conditions.

“The commissioner shall have the authority to establish such rules as may be necessary to deal with special situations with regard to uninsured individuals and employers participating as Exchange-eligible individuals and employers,” the bill says on page 82, “such as transitions periods for individuals and employers who gain or lose, Exchange-eligible participation status, and to establish grace periods for premium payment”

The Reasons Medical Care Costs are so High -- Waste, Fraud, & Abuse

Waste, fraud, and abuse, are already rampant in government-run health programs. If government can't control the problem now, how does expanding their role make any sense? Billions of taxpayer dollars are burned up every year with nothing to show for it. Give taxpayers more control over their health care and costs will go down. That's one of the recommendations of the CATO Institute. It's worth serious consideration. President Obama's intimate connections with one of the most fraudulent organizations in the country, ACORN, should also give taxpayers pause. The expression "Physician, heal thyself," comes to mind. If the president can't recognize rotten acorns, why should we trust him with the oak tree forest?
