Health Reform or Nationalization of Health Care?

Based on the current health bill, available on-line, it states on pages 57 thru 60 that a data base is to be established that will include an individuals financial ability to make co-payments, the individuals medical information, and other information relevant to maintaining cost and treatment options for an individual.

I am pretty sure that the vast majority of people are unaware that this will allow the government to not only locate but track an individual and also allow the government to seize an individuals funds to pay for things other than health care.

The bill also stipulates that the NEW program will NOT have to comply with FAR's (Federal Acquisition Requirements) nor will it be required to be part of the budget oversight process. Its first year budget is set at 10 Billion dollars and may be adjusted as directed by the Secretary at will every year after that.

It also will not be required to provide any form of Dental or Optical care unless an individual is willing to pay for a Premium Plus program over and above the basic, enhanced and premium programs.

Last but not least unless qualified everyone would be required to pay a co-pay PRIOR to receiving any treatment or medicine.

Health Reform sounds more like Nationalization of Health Care and the national registration that social security didn't quite cover.

What do you think?

Update:

True but it seems that any bill that requires everybody to sign up is leading to Nationalization of Health system. I for one cannot support something that 1) I don't want and 2) I don't want to help pay for

    No one but you is calling it "Health Reform". The bill is not yet finalized, and it will change a lot more before they vote on it.∠°)
