Health Care Reform House Bill Contains Public Option - Language Changed in Final Bill

Read it and weep: the house reconciliation bill contains a section devoted to the establishment of a “Public Health Insurance Option” - Subtitle B - Section 221
Note: click on images to enlarge





That did not, apparently, make it to the final version; however, the language is written in such a way as to establish Federal exchanges State by State.

The Final Version signed by both Houses and the President varies slightly. HR 3590 contains the following:
“The Secretary Shall, directly or through agreement with a not-for-profit entity, establishes and operates such Exchange….”






This is in the case of Individual states non-compliance, and allows the Federal Government to effectively take over the State’s Exchange (Public Option).

Giving rise to the old cliché - If it walks like a duck…

The Bill singed in the Congress prior to reading any of the legislation (Pelosi, vote now, we promise the public will love it once they know what is in it!) was merged with the Senate version and some fine parsing of language took place.
It is no wonder state AG’s are now suing the Federal Government, as the primary requirement is that state’s foot part of the bill, or the Fed’s jump in and take over.

Health Care Fix Bill to Return to House Amidst Alleged Threats to House Democrats - Analysis

Progressive Democrats, Blinded by Ideiology, Failed to Understand the Angst of the American Elecotrate, and are now suprirsed by threats - image icis.com

The Health Care Reform Billis going back to the House, due to amendments that violate Congressional Budget Rules. Senate Republicans found two rules in the Bill that involved the government takeover of the student loan industry. Harry Reid, Senate Majority Leader, will remove these provisions and a vote is expected in the Senate today. The Health Care Reform bill was signed into Law by President Obama prior to any “fixes” taking place – the bill, moved through the House as part of a reconciliation or budget procedure. Once the Senate approves the bill it goes back to the House for final approval. The House approved the bill only after Obama promised Pro-Life Michigan Democrat Bart Stupak, that he would sign an “Executive Order” banning the use of public funds for abortions. The Executive Order carries little to no weight as it is not considered a “law”. In addition, Stupak’s district received several million dollars in grants two days prior the House vote. Once Stupak agreed to a “yes” vote on the Bill, the balance of the pro-life Democrats followed suit, votes which were critical for passage. Now that the bill goes back to the House a second time, the question remains, if the House does not approve the Senate version, does the Bill Obama sign have legs to stand on?

Certain members of the House are now claiming that they are being threatened for voting yes on the original reconciliation bill. Alleged threats to members of Congress, made by unknown sources, have apparently become so severe that Democrat Majority Leader, Steny Hoyer (MD), has decided to use the issue as a political football, asking Republicans to condemn attacks on Democrat House members. Hoyer, a day late and a dollar short, missed the fact that Minority Leader, John Boehner (R-OH), had already done so, explaining that American’s are angry but should channel that anger into the voting booth. Boehner has emerged as a solid leader in the Congress and will, in all likelihood, become the next Speaker after the 2010 elections.

The threats range from a coffin placed “near” the home of a Missouri Democrat, to threatening calls placed to members including the author of Deem and Pass, Louise Slaughter (NY). How concerned are Progressive Democrats? A Colorado Representative Betsy Markey, has asked for increased security around her home – just in case it might be vandalized. Why the focus on tying the Tea Party to the Republican Party in these alleged threats? It is a matter of self-preservation for the Progressive Democrat Party.

Progressive Congressional Democrats should have been prepared for this type of backlash. Over the summer of 2009, scores of Town Hall meetings were held across the country, where citizens from all political parties gave voice to their concerns and rejections of a nationalized health care bill. Some of these forums became so contentious that many of the House Democrats cancelled or refused to attend Town Hall meetings. In addition to pressure from those who did not support the bill, the pressure on the same Democrats from members of unions, special interest groups and especially the White House and Congressional Leadership was just as intense. They knew, well in advance, that this type of backlash was probable. However, the Democrats, instead of admitting that the bill is a problem for more than half of the population, (including members of their party), pressed ahead, with ideology a major motivator for some, and bribery for others.

Who do Progressives blame? They blame members of the “Tea Party” movement, which is wrongly and intentionally tagged as part and parcel of the Republican Party. The Tea Party movement is a coalition of citizens who are disenfranchised from all political parties, and will only support incumbents or candidates that have similar ideals. The makeup of the body is a combination of Republicans, Democrats and especially independents or unaffiliated voters. The Tea Party movement is running its own candidates in several districts, which gives rise to the theory that the “movement” will eventually evolve into a political party, if it has not has not already done so.

The threat to the Progressive Democrats is significant; it appears that they will lose the House and possibly the Senate in 2010, which will allow the Tea Party to grow its base as a significant third party. Should the trend continue and the Progressives lose additional seats in both the House and the Senate (it is almost certain at this point the White House will have a new occupant in 2012), the party will be marginalized to the point where an opening exists for the emergence of a new strong national party. This is where the “alleged” threats are being used to try and demonize and marginalize both the Republican and Tea Parties at the same time.
Therefore, when the bill goes back to the House on Friday, House Democrats “defying” threats and voting for Reform, may see themselves (or be promoted as) hero’s for facing down the “angry mob”, that said, the American Public has already formed an opinion on this particular issue and those not in favor of the Bill, will simply use the ballot box in November as a way to make their point. As to those threats, should they prove credible, it is the level of anger and angst by members of all political parties, including the unaffiliated that gives rise to these actions.

No one individual’s fringe reaction makes an entire political parties or movements responsible and the public is well aware of that fact. They are also aware that those who voted Yes most likely would face threats from the less than sane citizens on both sides (Progressive who did not think the Bill went far enough and members of all parties who felt the Bill went too far), and should have expected the backlash, and taken measure ahead of the vote, to protect themselves. Therefore, to cry foul now, makes those who should have been prepared, appear foolish in hindsight. To hold press conferences and release statements, these members are setting themselves up for more of the same, it is most probable that public sympathy may not improve; Congress is shown in the polls as the least liked body politic in the nation.

Therefore, a simple statement of facts, lacking hysteria and finger pointing would have done more good for the Progressives (Democrats) than the current tactic. It is doubtful that any members of the House who voted yes on Health Care Reform, will change their vote, therefore, this is all politicized eyewash. Additionally, those who feel the need to threaten an elected official and especially a family member of an elected official should be shown to the nearest rubber room.

Government to Take Over Student Loan Business – Part of the Reconciliation Bill passed by Congress on March 21. What industry is next?

Obama and Biden - two cats who ate more than one canary - image: Drudge Report

In yet another power grab by the Obama Administration, the $70 plus billion dollar student loan industry is about to be moved into the “owned by the government column”. Written as part of the Reconciliation Bill passed by Congress, which included the Health Care Reform Bill, another Government Owned Industry was thrown in and almost no-one noticed. The media is now just beginning to report, and the AP picked up the story on after the Senate had the bill in Committee, approved and put into the reconciliation bill, any “fixes” added by the House to this new scheme. This occurred while they were busy ramming the Health Care Bill (signed yesterday by Obama) through (He signed the Senate version), either wittingly or unwittingly (the latter being most probable), the House took away from the nations lenders one of the most risk-free segments of the lending business.

Now it’s back to the Senate, with the fact that it had been added to the reconciliation (approved) by the house, it is a given this will be the latest in a series of industries that the Government owns. What it means to the general public: The Senate version reduces the amount of percentage of income allowed to be devoted to student loan repayment by to 10% (now at 15%), Pell Grants are not increased, but remain the same, and if one chooses to attend college in Europe, say, as a U.S. Citizen they would not be allowed to go to a lending institution outside of the U.S. The interest rate the government deems fair is 6.8%, a slightly higher interest rate than is now available.

What happens if someone defaults? They owe the Federal Government, which will fall to the Federal Collection Agency to collect on any outstanding debt – this agency is otherwise known as the I.R.S.

Therefore, not only will those 17,000 new IRS hires pegged to be responsible for overseeing those $25,000 fines on all Americans that choose (or cannot afford) the Government Brand of health care, they will, undoubtedly be tasked with collecting student loans. That’s a lot of revenue expected, according the AP report, somewhere in the neighborhood of $61 billion in 10 years, 19% of which would go to bail out the deficit, which is, when one see deficit projections in the trillions, is a drop in the bucket.

What of the banks and their employees? The banks go under and with them, their employees. Ironically, Ben Nelson, Democrat Senator from Nebraska, is now balking at this portion of the bill. Apparently, Nelnet, one of the largest Student Loan Lenders is based in Nebraska. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that once an industry loses its basis of operation, more individuals are faced with unemployment. (The total estimate of unemployed in the Student Loan Lending Industry is 30,000. Source - US News). Nebraska, who is also suing the Federal Government over Health Care under the commerce clause, is about to see their unemployment numbers ramped up a tad. Nelson, already on the ropes and most likely unelectable in 2012, especially once the Senate Bill is signed by Obama, and the unemployment rate in Nebraska continues its upward climb.

This leads one to the question; if the President and his like-minded cohorts in the Congress and the Senate, in getting the majority (Democrats) to sign onto a reconciliation bill sight unseen (unread), what else might be lurking in that bill that will affect the lives of millions of American’s and their relationship with the IRS?

As everyone should be aware, by now, the only reason that the Massachusetts version of Health Care for All had managed to go red by only $295 million dollars this year, was because of the massive subsidies given by the Federal Government. With the deals given to the Mass. Democrat Congressional group (that body may face big changes in 2010, despite the national pundits), of Medicare supplements till the cows come home if they towed the line and voted on Reconciliation, one gets the picture rather quickly that in order for a program of this magnitude in a state that, in respect to population and size, is minuscule in comparison to Florida, New York, Michigan and California, how on earth is the Federal government going to sustain a nationalized version without going red, and quick, or raising taxes on the remaining U.S. businesses and every working household in America? Apparently the new tax on Tanning Salons may not cover the entire bill so count on more taxes and more government run previously private industry.

For every good piece of legislation written into either of these bills, they are far outweighed by the bad. Here is another one which might be put in the rescind column when the House, Senate and White House are changed in 2014. For had taken out loans for college – non-traditional students (those returning to the workforce, at a later age), may be faced with over-zealous collection methods, should, in this economy, they somehow manage to be unable to pay their now, government owned, student loans. When one has no wages to garnish besides a home, a car, and social security payments, what does one expect the government to take first? It is no wonder that, in re-writing the bankruptcy rules, the very same Democrat Congress, exempted student loans from bankruptcy filing (See who’s in charge of the House Finance Committee – one online gambling friendly Barney Frank). Therefore, should one be in dire straits, they will be faced by the IRS, who will not be as willing to offer endless loan forbearance for hardship, that the current private lenders now allow.

What’s next? Who knows? The government now owns car companies, the banks, (the mortgage industry), the student lending industry, the health care industry, and with cap and trade on the block, one can bet the utilities will not be far behind. (If said bills are not already being hastily written into a piece of legislation that those who hold sway over the United States can deem and pass without a vote – before November 2010).

Public Calls on Twitter for Obama’s Assassination – Progressives miss the Mark by Removing Civics from the Curriculum. Who’s to Blame for the Bill.

The Founders Sign the Constitution, which aptly apples to the Health Care Reform Bill on grounds of Impeachment and Interstate Commerce - image hoodmania.com

An article from: ABC News speaks to the anger felt by many American’s over the vote in the House to pass the Senate version of the Health Care Reform Bill, which Obama will sign into law today. Apparently, two of out the millions of Twitter users, were so angry that they posted “tweets” threatening to assassinate Barack Obama – as if that would be the answer to solve all the problems the nation now faces since he took office a little over a year ago. First, one has to understand that a basic knowledge of how our government works is no longer taught in most schools; therefore, laying blame on the President is natural because he is seen as being “in charge”. Additionally, the emphasis that the media has placed on his ability to “lead” and his overall import has been nothing but misleading to the public – and this is true of the treatment of his predecessor – the derogatory rhetoric reserved for President George W. Bush in terms of his “alleged” power.

There are two very important pieces of the puzzle that the two individuals who are now being investigated by the Secret Service may not be aware – one, the President is no more than the titular head of the Political Party in charge. His job is to shore up the base, look like he knows what he’s talking about, and hopefully (or not, depending on your point of view), aid in the passage of legislation by giving speeches and meeting with the rank and file members of Congress who may or may not be impressed by his position. The real power lies in the Congress and the Senate, in the form of the Speaker of the House and the Majority Leader of the Senate. It is these two individuals who are in charge of what gets done, when it gets done and they have the ability to ignore the Constitution – outright if they so choose. It is those two individuals along with the rest of the Congress and the Senate than have the ability to make or break a piece of legislation and, and once they have a majority (Nancy Pelosi has enjoyed her position since 2006), they can stifle a President and the opposition party from effectively governing. In fact, they can do things behind the proverbial scenes in committees that can even destroy an economy (see Barney Frank). It is the individual members of the Senate and the Congress who are the most egregious villains or heroes in this government.

Secondly, one must understand the laws governing the line of succession under the Constitution. If anything were to happen to Barak Obama (God forbid!) - The next person in line for the Presidency would be Joe Biden. Biden, may be a fine gentleman, however, he has health issues that may prevent him from accepting the position, in which case it would fall to the Speaker of the House - Nancy Pelosi. Should anything happen to Nancy Pelosi (lightening striking from her flagrant abuse of the Catholicism in order to achieve secular goals for example), then Harry Reid, the Majority Leader of the Senate would be the next President – should anything happen to Harry (who has an approval rating a tad lower than Nancy’s, then Hillary Clinton as secretary of State would be next in line. Therefore to get to anyone who could reasonably govern the country, one has to get through four individuals until Clinton is given the post.

Fortunately, most American’s understand that the anger should be directed at the Speaker and Majority Leader, and they understand that time is all it takes to remove someone from office. (Of course, there is impeachment – but calls for impeachment of either Pelosi or Reid have not yet taken place.) Therefore, patience being the virtue it is, in a few short months a new Congress will be elected with a new majority leader who will begin drafting legislation that will be aimed at undoing anything other legislation that is egregious to the well-being of the nation. In 2011, the candidates for the balance of the seats up for re-election and the office of the President, will begin to lay their case as to why they would be a better choice for the nation – when the voters go to the polls in November of 2012, they will elect a new president, who will then sign into law any legislation that is unhealthy for the citizens and the nation as a whole.

The Constitution: on Impeachment:

Article 1, section 2: The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.

Section 3: The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.
Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.

Article 2, Section 2: The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

And the kicker:

Article 2 Section. 4. The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Our founders were men of great vision, understanding that no matter the branch of government, from the office of the President, the Congress, the Senate and the Supreme Court, individuals that would behave in such a way as to usurp and corrupt the power of the document and or interfere with the sovereignty of the States – The Commerce Clause:

Article 1: Section 9: No Preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the Ports of one State over those of another; nor shall Vessels bound to, or from, one State, be obliged to enter, clear, or pay Duties in another.

Therefore, the entire bill is unconstitutional given the fact that the senate version, the bill that will become law, does make mockery of Article 1, Section 9 – and is therefore, unconstitutional. A fact - each state will not be given equal treatment – This is the basis for the suites being brought by Attorney Generals of a growing number of States – The Supreme Court does have the ability to declare a bill unconstitutional.

Back to impeachment: (Article 2, Section 4) what of those who drafted the bill? They played fast and loose with the Constitution; the body of Congress and the President offered bribes in order to pass that bill – these Bribes consisted of offers made to various Senators and Congressional Leaders for a vote. Therefore, whoever offered the bribe for the vote on this bill is guilty and impeachable.

That said, patience is required, and that is why, in November, should Nancy Pelosi remain in the Congress, and the Democrats are no longer in power, she would be one of the first subjects of impeachment. As to the President, again, he is merely a prop, so to speak, one that apparently without the help of the Speaker and Majority Leader would have no bill to sign today.

Although many scholars will insist that the constitution is a fluid document subject to revision and especially interpretation, the above noted articles have stood the test of time, both the articles on impeachment and the Commerce Clause.

Case in point on the Commerce Clause: In February of 2009, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, ever in need of additional revenue to support its failing Health Care System (which is, by the by, heavily financed by the Federal Government), thought it best to go after individuals and businesses for taxes collected on Massachusetts Citizens purchases across State lines. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ Supreme Court (not the most conservative court one must admit), said no – under the Commerce Clause.

Therefore, if David Axelrod’s proving ground for the rest of the nation (in the name of Deval Patrick), own heavily liberal minded court, found this clause to be effective in relation to states right and taxes, how much more so would the courts in Virginia, Idaho and any of the other states bringing suit, fare the same when it came to the current Bill being signed into law?

To wit, the best way to channel angst and anger is in the voting booth, and one would better serve themselves by reading the Constitution in its entirety – additional reading suggested: The Federalist Papers, available at bookstores nationwide and online.

How They Voted on Health Care Reform, How We Recind the Health Care Reform Bill

Below one will find the roll call for the vote taken on Health Care Reform last night, Palm Sunday, in the Congress. Although the majority of American's did not want the bill to be passed in its present form, those that felt they "knew better" did so anyway -the reason: The administration led these congressmen and women to believe that if they did not vote for Health Care Reform, they would lose in November. I repeat they believed the administration when told that they would stand a better chance of being elected if they voted for the bill.

One has to wonder at this point, with every poll covering every political party, showing a great distaste by all voters for the plan, how on earth these people were so easily duped (no other word) by the Trio of Obama, Reid and Pelosi? For the sake of the nation, one always hopes that some part of this will work, however, that said, the reality of the bill is another thing, and it is rife with problems, including Medicare cuts, a takeover of the student loan industry (snuck that one in there), and a few other doo-dads that may or may not come to light for some time.

The solution (should this go south so to speak) - vote for the man or woman who opposed this bill and also opposed Slaughter (NY), and her Deem and Pass scheme (still under consideration for use by the President) - or vote for their challenger, Republican, Green Party, Libertarian, doesn't matter at this point. That body (new one) can start drafting the legislation to rescind the egregious portions of this bill, and have it ready for whoever enters the oval office is 2013 for an order of recession.

2010 Democrats Up For Relection by State, District and Health Care Reform Vote - Public Service Announcement
