Thought and Freedom

According to the Whitehouse, there has been a lot of “disinformation” about the socialized ObamaCare plan that is currently being debated in congress. In fact, the White House just issued the following statement:

There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care.  These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation.  Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.

If I had more time, I would go into just how truly Orwellian that statement is, and would mention how we have had other leaders around the world that have asked citizens to spy on each other for political thought crimes, but that is not the point of this post.

Today, I want to give Obama the benefit of the doubt. I believe he is right that the facts have not been laid out clearly enough. So, in bullet point form, here are the issues that freedom loving citizens should be concerned about in the health care bill, complete with page numbers and all (The full bill can be found here):
