1,968 New and Expanded Secretarial Powers in Health Law (Jan 2011)
US Action News ^ | January 19, 2011 | US Action News

The Center for Health Transformation (CHT) released a new chart revealing the nearly 2,000 new and expanded powers given to Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius under the healthcare law.

The chart, titled “The New and Expanded Secretarial Powers in the Health Reform Law,” shows the exact legislative language from the 2,409-page law and the 1,968 grants of new and expanded powers to the secretaries of Departments of Labor, Treasury and Health and Human Services. The overwhelming majority of which will fall under HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, from powers over access to drugs and insurance coverage to care delivery processes and changes to Medicare.

This article is from January 2011 but contains information relevant to discussion of the Obamacare law. As is true with most charts pertaining to Obamacare, this one is pretty daunting as it itemizes the extent of power granted to one unelected bureaucrat, the Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

I've found another chart which illustrates the IMPLEMENTATION TIMELINE OF THE HEALTH REFORM LAW (OBAMACARE). Equally horrific and shows what HELL the socialists have waged upon America.

Individual Liberty or Government Intrusion? You decide!

Something occurred to me when looking at the ‘implementation’ chart.. It’s obvious someone said ‘hey let’s get whites to pay reparations by taxing them per each visit to their tanning salon’.. The SCOTUS says this racially discriminatory tax is acceptable.. What next?

You know how when you go to the doctor they always ask about safety in your home or some such thing? Well, dollars to donuts they’re gonna have a little look-see for themselves if they fully implement this horror.

Someone was offering this in a 4’X 8’ banner, but the banner cost $400. I wish I could have afforded it. But this is good.

This monster is designed to swallow us all. It must be slain at the first opportunity.

Obamacare is more about expanding government power and bureaucracy than it is about providing people with heath care. Real health care comes from having more doctors, not from having more government and more bureaucrats.

Be sure and check out the boxes in red. They concern taxes.

Commissar Sebelius has NEVER worked in medicine. She graduated from Trinity Washington University in Washington, D.C. with a B.A. in political science. She later earned a Master of Public Administration degree from the University of Kansas. She’s been a political hack her whole career.

And yet she will determine quite literally who lives and who dies, who gets treated, when and how.

Scary thought.

The PPACA fundamentally transforms the cabinet office of the HHS Secretary into the Unterfuhrer of a totalitarian ministry of Health and Human Services. She is accountable to nobody other than the fuhrer and her authority within the scope of her ministry is limitless. She may command strict obedience against conscience among those she hates and grant waivers to those she favors.
