The section posted lacks any real detail to draw a definite conclusion as to what purpose this "corpse" might serve. It is intentionally broad. Regardless, it is unnecessary for something like this to be included in the bill. We don't need more government bureaucracy.

It does, though. The very first line says "Section 203 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 204) is amended to read as follows:". That section is part of the chapter of the statute that governs the Public Health Service. If you read the section as it will be applied, which is as a part of the Public Health Service Act (Title 42, Ch. 6A of the U.S. Code), it's pretty clear that the "Ready Reserve Corps" is there to augment the existing Public Health Service Commissioned Corps.

There's a whole lot not to like about this bill, including some of the other sections posted by the blogger, but this section is pretty harmless other than being another waste of money.

I don’t see any legislative connection between this “corps” and anything of a military nature. There is, however, a distinct connection to existing “medical corps”.

Much of the hysteria I see here is based on deliberate hysteria over individual words with imputed meanings. Some don’t seem to understand that context defines the words, and this context is not militaristic.
