This is a copy and paste job from a friend who actually read/is reading the bill
If you had read the former you'd note:
As of August 10th Obama’s heath care proposal was 1017 pages
Page 16: States that if you have insurance at the time of the bill becoming law and change, you will be required to take a similar plan. If that is not available, you will be required to take the "public option."
Page 22: Mandates audits of all employers that self-insure.
Page 29: Admits that your health care will be rationed.
Page 30: A government committee will decide what treatments and benefits you get (and, unlike an insurer, there will be no appeals process.)
Page 42: The "Health Choices Commission" will decide health benefits for you. You will have no choice. None.
Page 50: All non-US citizens, illegal or not, will be provided with free health care services.
Page 58: Every person will be issued a national ID health card.
Page 59: The federal government will have direct, real-time access to all individual bank accounts for electronic funds transfer.
Page 65: Taxpayers will subsidize all union retiree and community organizer health plans (read: SEIU, UAW and ACORN)
Page 72: All private health care plans must conform to government rules to participate in a Health Care Exchange.
Page 84: All private health care plans must participate in the Health Care Exchange (i.e., total government control of private plans)
Page 91: Government mandates linguistic infrastructure for services. Translation: illegal aliens
Page 95: The government will pay ACORN and Americorps to sign up individuals for government-run health care plan.
Page 102: Those eligible for Medicaid will be automatically enrolled: you have no choice in the matter.
Page 124: No company can sue the government for price-fixing. No judicial review is permitted against the government monopoly. Put simply, private insurers will be crushed.
Page 127: The AMA has sold doctors out: the government will set wages.
Page 145: An employer must auto-enroll employees into the government-run public plan. No alternatives.
Page 126: Employers must pay health care bills for part-time employees and their families.
Page 149: Any employer with a payroll of $400K or more, who does not offer the public option, pays an 8% tax on payroll.
Page 150: Any employer with a payroll of $250K-400K or more, who does not offer the public option, pays a 2 to 6% tax on payroll.
Page 167: Any individual who doesn't' have acceptable health care (according to the government) will be taxed 2.5% of income.
Page 170: Any non-resident alien is exempt from individual taxes (Americans will pay for them.)
Page 195: Officers and employees of government health care bureaucracy will have access to all American financial and personal records.
Page 203: "The tax imposed under this section shall not be treated as tax." Yes, it really says that.
Page 239: Bill will reduce physician services for Medicaid. Seniors and the poor most affected.
Page 241: Doctors: no matter what speciality you have, you'll all be paid the same (thanks, AMA!)
Page 253: Government sets the value of doctors' time, their professional judgment, etc.
Page 265: Government mandates and controls productivity for private health care industries.
Page 268: Government regulates rental and purchase of power-driven wheelchairs.
Page 272: Cancer patients: welcome to the wonderful world of rationing.
Page 280: Hospitals will be penalized for what the government deems preventable re-admissions.
Page 298: Doctors: if you treat a patient during an initial admission that results in a readmission, you will be penalized by the government.
Page 317: Doctors: you are now prohibited for owning and investing in health care companies.
Page 318: Prohibition on hospital expansion. Hospitals cannot expand without government approval.
Page 321: Hospital expansion hinges on "community" input: in other words, yet another payoff for ACORN.
Page 335: Government mandates establishment of outcome-based measures: i.e., rationing.
Page 341: Government has authority to disqualify Medicare Advantage Plans, HMOs, etc.

Page 430: Government will decide what level of treatments you may have at end-of-life.
Page 469: "Community-based Home Medical Services" (more payoffs for ACORN.)

Page 494: Government will cover mental health services: defining, creating and rationing those services.
