Thank you for sharing this analysis. I wish Congress or the GOP cared what experts say or what their constituents want before they fall in line behind he-who-shall-not-be-named. Just one more bill we need to call our congressional representative about and say "Vote No." it might be an exercise in futility but still needs doing.
Let’s face it. This GOP sponsored bill is no good for Medicare (dis) Advantage patients and it eliminates the choice to joint regular Medicare. The Senate oversight committee has abrogated responsibility to the American people and patients and continues to press forward with privatizing American HealthCare in the worst of possible ways. This bill must never be passed and opposition should include demonstrations against this stinking Bill.
PLEASE Mr. Potter, get out of the weeds on healthcare and tell your followers about the care and coverage that the private insurance industry's SECRET Provider Contracts guarantee each and every one of us with private insurance. As with any complex problem, healthcare provides countless targets to throw rocks at. But only one heart of the Beast, i.e., the insurer's SECRET Provider Contracts under contract law and state regulation.
The only difference between this and government run universal healthcare is the payor.
This is a great look at what life would be like under government run healthcare, except that would be much worse.
We all know about the astronomic levels of corruption, fraud, waste and abuse that’s been uncovered in these last 6 months, and is still being uncovered.
Can you imagine what that would look like if we handed all of it to the government? Yikes.
Doubtful this actually goes anywhere, but it’s a great look at the type of thing one could expect were we to make the mistake of trusting the government with that much money, not to mention all of our lives.
Classifying MA as a Medicare program is a big mistake. It is the progression of privatization of mostly elderly care for immoral profits on people’s illnesses that necessitate medical and medical interventions. The carrot of low cost premiums and better care and less abuse of benefits is obscenely promoted by the rich and powerful who want more and more. Besides personal bankruptcies this will defund the Traditional Medicare program that we have paid a lifetime of taxes to support. I partly blame Obama for the mess we are in for at the time of promoting Obamacare he forbid the look at public options for healthcare insurance. More people who are being screwed by MA must continuously force their legislators to take action and stop this madness. Large demonstrations at the state capitols are in order, with as much press coverage as possible.
Our founding fathers warned about the dangers of monopolies and were seeing why here in America now. Maybe that is what needs to be hammered to our legislators?
David Schweikert’s district or near experienced a low temperature of 97 this morning. His latest bill will do nothing for health. Maybe he’s waiting for 98.6 degrees.
Figureas. If this passes or has passed, i am convinced a swath of litigation, via class action, will quell this illegal, communist style piece os s**t bill. The sponser should rot in shame
Thanks for this truly great summary. It's a model of how a "key points" summary of a piece of legislation should be written. I was unaware of HR 3467. While it lacks cosponsors, and its provisions are likely to be broadly opposed, But nothing is impossible ... so the warning is timely.

Just when I thought I could no longer be surprised and outraged by these proposals . . .This!
I am so tired of healthcare legislation efforts that stump the public, but would not impact the lawmakers behind it.
Thank you for this information. It's important to be aware of going forward.

David Schweikert managed to arrive after voting closed for final vote on big bad bill. Why?
Awful news.
David Schweikert voted present on the first draft of big bad bill.
