Last night, the head of The Heritage Foundation branded the House-approved healthcare bill a modern-day "Intolerable Act" and appealed for its repeal.

Edwin J. Feulner, who is the president of the Washington, DC-based think tank, told that the bill symbolized "a giant step toward creation of a European-style welfare state."

Instead of empowering individuals, the trillion-dollar, 2,700 page bill sanctions an un-elected bureaucracy to determine the content of health benefits packages, together with medical treatment and procedures, and how much will be paid for those services.

Edwin J. Feulner further says:

They understand this health care bill forces individuals and employers to buy insurance policies designed by government bureaucrats. This intrusion is intended to follow us from cradle to grave.
