America's New Health Care System Revealed
Updated chart shows ObamaCare's bewildering complexity
Four months after U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi famously declared “We have to pass the bill so you can find out what’s in it,” Republicans on the Joint Economic Committee, of which Congressman Burgess is a member, have released the first chart illustrating the 2,801 page health care law President Obama signed into law in March. The detailed organization chart displays a bewildering array of new government agencies, regulations and mandates.
In addition to capturing the massive expansion of government and the overwhelming complexity of new regulations and taxes, the chart portrays:
- $569 billion in higher taxes
- $529 billion in cuts to Medicare
- swelling of the ranks of Medicaid by 16 million
- 17 major insurance mandates
- The creation of two new bureaucracies with powers to impose future rationing: the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute and the Independent Payments Advisory Board.
