» Pg 22 of the HC Bill mandates the Government will audit books of all employers that self insure.
This is in reference to Section 113.b.1 of the bill. What this section calls for is a study of the "Large Group Insured and Self-Insured employer health markets". That's it. A study, just like every other study currently in existance.
» Pg 30 Sec 123 of HC bill — a Government committee (good luck with that!) will decide what treatments/benefits a person may receive.
Section 123 discusses the creation of "a private-public advisory committee which shall be a panel of medical and other experts to be known as the Health Benefits Advisory Committee to recommend covered benefits and essential, enhanced, and premium plans." The duties of this committee, in other words is to define what the various insurance plans will be, what is covered in each plan, and what co-pays, etc are for each. This sounds to me like the same sort of committee that a normal insurance company sets up to figure out what products to sell.
» Pg 29 lines 4-16 in the HC bill — YOUR HEALTHCARE WILL BE RATIONED!
This one may well be an honest mistake. The person who wrote the point may not know how to read verbiage in terms of insurance. What this section appears to be saying is that the maximum out-of-pocket for induviduals and family shall not exceed $5000/$10,000 on Y1 and shall be indexed to inflation for future years. I guess if you were looking for faults or are just not well versed on what terms like "cost-sharing" mean, you might misinterpret this to meant that they were describing max benefit.
Ok, that's all I have for now. I am going to review a few more, but this really has me concerned about the mis-information getting out there. I mean, debating and pointing out valid problems in the bill is great, but keep it real. One bad point can damage a whole argument.
