Thanks for the link.....but this nightmare of a bill is sooo lengthy and so full of bureaucracy covering every tiny fragment of health related services......IT HAS TO BE THE WORST BILL EVER WRITTEN and the MOST DAMAGING BILL EVERY WRITTEN.

The cap/tax and trade bil is a close second.

PASS THE WORD, GET FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO READ THIS BILL OR THIS SUMMARY. ALL THOSE RETIREES - GIVE THEM THIS AS A PROJECT. THEN GET THE WORD OUT AND CALL, CALL, CALL.

To: right way right

If you don’t read it, you aren’t going to know that they are going to require that the government MUST have real-time access to an individuals finances, and government will have direct access to your bank accounts for electronic fund transfers. AARP members health care will be rationed and their health care benefits will be chosen for them, they will have no choice.

Sounds like fun?

I found this at the bottom of this article on 0zer0’s strong arming on ZeroCare:

http://www.ajc.com/health/democrats-divided-on-health-96628.html
“I think that we always need to be reminded that members of Congress don’t serve under presidents, they serve with presidents,” said Rep. Richard Neal, D-Mass.”

Might he be alienating his party pretty badly right now? Hmmm...I love to see the infighting frankly, and it’s ABOUT time for patriotic Ds to stand up to this marxist twit.

SEC. 1177. EXTENSION OF AUTHORITY OF SPECIAL NEEDS PLANS TO RESTRICT ENROLLMENT.

(a) In General- Section 1859(f)(1) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395w-28(f)(1)) is amended by striking `January 1, 2011’ and inserting `January 1, 2013 (or January 1, 2016, in the case of a plan described in section 1177(b)(1) of the America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009)’.

1395w-28. Definitions

(f) Restriction on enrollment for specialized MA plans for special needs individuals
In the case of a specialized MA plan for special needs individuals (as defined in subsection (b)(6) of this section), notwithstanding any other provision of this part and in accordance with regulations of the Secretary and for periods before January 1, 2011, the plan may restrict the enrollment of individuals under the plan to individuals who are within one or more classes of special needs individuals.


Basically it extends the ability of a state to restrict enrollment by Special Needs individuals in the state’s Medical Assistance plan by another two years minimum.

Can you imagine if George Bush tried to do that?

Nope, not kidding at all, Charles said it was a huge mistake and then looked at Fred Barnes and said “when the other side is imploding you get out of the way and say nothing — he said the worst thing the GOP can do right now is draw any attention to themselves and off the democrats implosion.

Most of what I said? All I said was what this guy wrote is a synopsis of the bill. It’s pretty straightforward.

OK Freerepublic Legal Eagles, can we as citizen file a preemptive cease and desist lawsuit to stop the Federal Gov from infringing on our Constitutional rights.

First, you have to establish standing to bring the suit - after all, you're ONLY an American citizen. Might be best to stop by Home Depot and pick up a day laborer to act as a stand in, as illegals always have more standing before the federal judiciary.

Second, you must seek permission from the government to sue the government - should such permission be withheld, you have to convince a court that the inherent immunity of government should be ignored in this case and the case should proceed. My suggestion: Read up those suits by environmental wackos, as they /always/ seem to have this piece handled. Opportunity: Did Congress get an environmental impact report done of this health care plan? Maybe it's time they do...

Or you can just join millions of others and march on Washington and make these jerks quiver in fear as we gather in unity to be pissed off at our government, vs bussed in image parades that are always overblown.

Why would anyone choose to be a Doctor at this point?

Not to worry, there will soon be a new TSA style agency created, staffed by community organizers, to choose and provide free training to affirmative action candidates that want to play doctor too! Trust Obama DeathCare to provide the best for you! /s
