Now that fedgov has a financial interest in our health, it makes sense that they’d try to control costs. This is just the beginning.
Just like seatbelt laws (because not wearing seatbelts adds to health insurance costs). Now we’ll get, eventually, the entire UN vegan/vegetarian low salt low protein diet to keep us “healthy” and not costing much for healthcare, plus dying at 65 to avoid geriatric care. Population control will figure in, as well, Paul Erlich is still revered.
So this will save tax dollars! We just won’t live as long.
Beyond our wildest nightmares....
It hasn't... yet. Now I have a question for you. Where do you think the Constitution authorizes fedgov regulation of mental health?
“Where in the constitution is the president authorized to write executive orders?” — Jessica Mason, Raleigh, Miss.
Nowhere. Executive orders are not defined in the constitution.
Article 2 outlines the executive branch, stating that “the executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.”

And so John Adams’ earnest beseeching ..
“I pray to heaven to bestow the best of blessings on this house and all that hereafter inhabit it. May none but honest and wise men ever rule under this roof.”
The Founding Fathers are somersaulting in agony in their
blessed graves over this diabolical resident.
You didn’t answer my question about Pres. Bush.
The Obama exercise program... bend over, grab your ankles... squeal. Begin again...
Does he still grab at cigarettes like a Rhesus monkey in a Skinner box grabs the cocaine lever?
What a wuss. He can try me. I’ll meet him in the gym and we can do chins and dips with heavy chains. We’ll see who gives first.
test it on barney frank first and let us know how it goes.
No.
these people can all go to hell!
HAVE WE SEEN/HEARD ENOUGH YET?????????
“(1) worksite health promotion;
(2) community services, including community health centers;
(3) preventive medicine;
(4) health coaching;
(5) public health education;
(6) geriatrics; and
(7) rehabilitation medicine.’
Wow this is something new. Never heard of such things before. We’re all gonna get healthy!
It’s apalling, and we cannot stand for it!!
Cordially,
You asked me that question in a follow up post and as you can see, I've now replied. However, you did not answer my question, which was very simple and straightforward.
Where do you think the Constitution authorizes fedgov to regulate mental health?
That’s redundant .. I answered it.
Must be bored... or fishing.
They mean cheap nutrition. A biscuit a day keeps the bullets away.
Nope. You did not answer where you thought the Constitution authorized fedgov regulation of mental health. Name the Section and Clause, please.
Agree. I suspect this is not so much a power grab to control everyone as it is a scheme to funnel more money and benefits to his usual constituents. Like Michelle and her “food desserts”, which provides an excuse to bully supermarkets to locate in high-risk neighborhood, these “recommendations” will mean more opportunities to subsidize the lower class, which is, after all, the least healthy segment of our population. Along with grocery stores, look to see pressure to establish health clubs in the inner cities with subsidized club memberships, free summer camps for the inner city kids, grants to academics to study the lower classes, more grants to ACORN to coordinate care of the lower class, pressure on graduating physicians to practice in the inner cities, eminent domain to create parks, destruction of roads to create bike paths, more federal, state and local government employees to run health programs. On and on, ways to increase benefits without seeming to increase welfare or create new government jobs. And all sanctioned by the recommendations of this “nonpartisan” council.
