HR 3962

President Barack Obama
Sen. Carl Levin
Sen. Debbie Stabenow
Rep. Bart Stupak
November 7, 2009
Please listen the American voters and vote NO for any of the pending health care reform legislation especially H.R. 3962.
The most dangerous part of Speaker Pelosi's health care "reform" bill is that it paves the way to a complete government takeover of health care in this country that will dramatically expand the size of government; allow bureaucrats and politicians to dictate your choice of doctors, treatments, and medicines; and ration quality care to control costs.
H.R. 3962 creates 111 new federal boards, bureaucracies, commissions,
and programs. It also expands Medicaid to all individuals with
incomes below 150 percent of the federal poverty level, an estimated
10 million Americans.
H.R. 3962 would also inflict a whole host of new taxes and costly
mandates on individuals and businesses as American families struggle
to make ends meet and unemployment approaches double digits.
For example, the bill would impose an individual mandate tax of up to 2.5 percent of income on individuals earning as little as $9,350 who do not purchase "acceptable health care coverage." The National Federation of Independent Business estimates that the employer mandate in H.R. 3962 will disproportionately affect small businesses, triggering up to 1.6 million lost jobs. The direct impact on families of all the new rules, regulations, and tax increases will be an additional $500 per year in the cost of insurance.
You must not vote for either the senate or the house legislation. We say no to any public option regardless of what you call it.
