Checking his site, you will find the list of endorsements is a coalition of top liberal/leftist
and "progressive" organizations in the country.
You may recall that a provision for a new bureaucracy, the National Coordinator of
Health Information Technology, was slipped into the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 or "Stimulus bill" American Recovery and Reinvestment

H.R. 676, the United States National Health Insurance Act (USNHI), establishes a unique
American universal health insurance program with single payer financing. The bill would
create a publicly financed, privately delivered health care system that improves and
expands the already existing Medicare program to all U.S. residents, and all residents
living in U.S. territories.
Every person living or visiting in the United States and the U.S. Territories would receive a
United States National Health Insurance Card and ID number once they enroll at the
appropriate location. Social Security numbers may not be used when assigning ID cards.
• Maintain current federal and state funding for existing health care programs
• Establish employer/employee payroll tax of 4.75% (includes present 1.45%
Medicare tax)
• Establish a 5% health tax on the top 5% of income earners, 10% tax on top 1% of
wage earners
• ¼ of 1% stock transaction tax
• Close corporate tax loopholes
• Repeal the Bush tax cuts for the highest income earners
HR 676 ... eliminating choice, and narrowing all of your options down to the single payer,
specifically, the federal government.
The federal government, because they will be the ones with the money, will dictate to you
what treatments, medicines, and procedures you can or cannot have..... eventually the
federal government will decide that if you are too old and not able to contribute to society
anymore, you don’t need that arthritis pain medicine, or that new hip joint, or the medicine
that will keep you from dying from a heart attack. After all, it would be a waste of money to
spend precious tax dollars on an individual that no longer contributes to the collective
state.... Obama’s healthcare plan will add to the staggering deficit being created by the
current Administration, kill hundreds of thousands of jobs connected to the private
healthcare industry, reduce the income level of the medical profession forcing much of the
talent to leave the industry or to not enter the industry in the first place, increase the
waiting time for care, and put your health matters into the hands of federal bureaucrats
with only cutting the costs of the programs in mind.
Healthcare costs will swell, quality of care will drop, and the economic stability of the
federal government will weaken. The federal government cannot run, or heavily regulate, a
system like this efficiently, and the hopes of turning it around once they realize it is an
abysmal failure will be slim to none because the private industry will be destroyed by then.
