If I don't make better progress on this, I'm going to have to ask my teacher friends to help me with the roman numerals, lol!
Next statement:
Page 42: The "Health Choices Commissioner" 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 healthcare services.
My response: THERE IS NO MENTION OF ILLEGAL ALIENS AT ALL! This statement is a lie.
From FactCheck.org:
False: Illegal Immigrants Will Be Covered
One Republican congressman issued a press release claiming that "5,600,000 Illegal Aliens May Be Covered Under Obamacare," and we’ve been peppered with queries about similar claims. They’re not true. In fact, the House bill (the only bill to be formally introduced in its entirety) specifically says that no federal money would be spent on giving illegal immigrants health coverage:
H.R. 3200: Sec 246 — NO FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS
Nothing in this subtitle shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States.
Also, under current law, those in the country illegally don’t qualify for federal health programs. Of interest: About half of illegal immigrants have health insurance now, according to the nonpartisan Pew Hispanic Center, which says those who lack insurance do so principally because their employers don’t offer it.

Page 58: Every person will be issued a National ID Health card.
My response: This section is a listing of goals for financial and administrative transactions. The real change noted here about health plan beneficiary ID cards is that they may be machine readable for accuracy. It is not a National ID Health card; if you have Medicare, you will have a Medicare card; if you have Blue Cross/Blue Shield, you will have a BC/BS card; if you have Aetna, you will have an Aetna card. This statement is incorrect and misses the point of the paragraph.
Page 59: The federal government will have direct, real-time access to all individual bank accounts for electronic funds transfer.
My response: This section allows for electronic funds transfers so that the entire billing process can be automated. In other words, when your health care provider submits an electronic bill, they can now be paid electronically. This has nothing to do with health care consumers. This statement is incorrect.
Page 65: Taxpayers will subsidize all union retiree and community organizer health plans (read: SEIU, UAW and ACORN)
My response: OMG, while researching this question I ran across this entire list of "highlights" on this paper posted by Liberty Counsel. It is adapted from this blog post from Peter Fleckenstein. And is also posted on FreeRepublic.com.
Here is the beginning of what is posted on FreeRepublic:

I think I need to take a little break and compose myself. But before I do I want to remind you of how I started this series of postings:
Guess Wayne Lauten isn't such a good or honest friend of Dad-in-law. Sad, just sad.
Liberty Counsel is affiliated with the infamous Liberty University where as of late the Young Democrats party has been forcefully disbanded and apparently the constitution is something to be vilified. What a bunch of scumbags and liars.
