Baucus's Health Care proposal- "The Mark"

Like all Americans, I have been watching as our government hashes out a Health Care Bill that will affect all of us. In my research today, I found a good source that outlines the proposal. It is from The Hill.com blog.

I am trying not to make a correlation out of nothing, but I was spun around by the name of the plan. It is referred to as America’s Health Future Act called, The Chairman’s Mark. I missed it until in almost every other paragraph the name was shorten to "The Mark." "The Mark".... you have to be kidding me. The health plan that affects every American is referred to as" The Mark." Well....every bone in my Sunday School girl body was a little shaken by this. The Bible warns of the mark of the beast, could this be the beginning? I am not one to blow things out of proportion so the balanced side of my personality says probably not, but it sure made me think. The name alone gives me pause and we all will be required to have some sort of health plan under this proposal or be penalized by 35%. The fist proposals were even more likely to take control of every area of our lives and looked much more like a possibility of full government control. That kind of control could lead to a mandate of all people to march to their drummer or pay big(some sort of mark would not be out of the realm of possibility). Now, we would be left with a choice. We will be able to make decisions for our own lives. However, they will have a huge foot in the door of our lives, so take note. This is just round one. My children and their children will be in billions of dollars of debt and we all know that debt is the bridal in the horses mouth.

"The Mark", Hmmmmm, what do you think?

P.S. If you are in the Health Insurance business, things are looking good for you and for the rest of us, we need to get in the business.

ORGANIZATIONAL CHART OF THE HOUSE DEMOCRATS’ HEALTH PLAN

This is the organizational chart of the House Democrats' health plan. It is supposed to make it easier to understand. I am not sure if any of them can explain it. At the top of the chart are both Congress and the President, not each of us. I also notice the mandates to both buy insurance and provide insurance. We must have insurance reform but no one should mandate where and who your insurance comes from. I thought I should include it to follow the bill I posted here a couple of days ago. Have fun trying to understand.
