Pelosi Health Care Takeover Contains More than 100 New Bureaucracies

According to Fox News, House Republicans continue to "push back hard" against the health care takeover proposed by Speaker Pelosi which "would create a whopping 111 new 'federal bureaucracies'":

"In its latest attempt to portray the Democrats' reform package as an unwieldy expansion of federal government in the health care sector, the House Republican Conference circulated what it called a list of ‘new boards, bureaucracies, commissions and programs' created in the House health care bill. …

"The list underscores the GOP complaint that the health care reform bill over-burdens taxpayers and the government itself. …

"House lawmakers are expected to begin debate this week, but Republicans -- vastly outnumbered in the House -- continue to push back hard."


The Weekly Standard has the full list of boards, commissions, bureaucracies, and programs here.

The Wall Street Journal editorial board says the Democratic legislation "may well be the worst piece of post-New Deal legislation ever introduced":

"In a rational political world, this 1,990-page runaway train would have been derailed months ago. With spending and debt already at record peacetime levels, the bill creates a new and probably unrepealable middle-class entitlement that is designed to expand over time. Taxes will need to rise precipitously, even as ObamaCare so dramatically expands government control of health care that eventually all medicine will be rationed via politics. ...

"The result will be destructive on every level—for the health-care system, for the country's fiscal condition, and ultimately for American freedom and prosperity."


The Republican health care reform bill, on the other hand, combines several common-sense reforms that will lower costs and expand coverage without raising taxes or creating a massive government-run system. The GOP bill is being scored by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) now and will be available for all to read. Read more here.
