House Republicans Find 111 New 'Bureaucracies' in Health Care Bill

In its latest attempt to portray Democrats' reform package as an unwieldy expansion of federal government in the health care sector, the House Republican Conference circulated what it called a list of "new boards, bureaucracies, commissions and programs" created in the House health care bill.

House Republicans claimed Monday that the health care reform bill pushed by Speaker Nancy Pelosi would create a whopping 111 new "federal bureaucracies."

In its latest attempt to portray the Democrats' reform package as an unwieldy expansion of federal government in the health care sector, the House Republican Conference circulated what it called a list of "new boards, bureaucracies, commissions and programs" created in the House health care bill.

Among some off the new agencies, the list cites a Health Insurance Exchange; the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation; the Public Health Investment Fund; the Public Health Workforce Corps; an Assistant Secretary for Health Information; the Food and Drug Administration Office of Women's Health; grant programs for alternative medical liability laws, infant mortality programs and other issues; and about 100 other government-sponsored creations.

"That ought to tell you all that we need to know, that we're going to have 1,990 pages of legislation," House Minority Leader John Boehner said in an interview Sunday. "The word 'shall' exists in this bill 3,345 times."

Pretty heavy handed editorial slant.

So much for "fair and balanced."

Well, Obama said he is going to create jobs.

The big push is for one world government. We’ve been on the brink many times before. Let us hope we can maintain our sovereignty this time.

...grant programs for alternative medical liability laws...

"Mr. Boehner said the Republican bill would also include a proposal to provide grants to states that use "innovative" solutions to expand insurance."

Rep. Bonehead, if you wanted to be "innovative," you would get the Feds out of health care entirely, pursuant to the Ninth and Tenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, instead of criticizing the Democrats while perpetrating the same %($@ as the Democrats! However, as it is, it looks like, contrary to your claims, neither you nor about 90 percent of the GOP establishment have actually "learned [your] lesson" or even dared to listen to the Tea Partiers.

NO MORE BIG GOVERNMENT!

DON'T TREAD ON ME!

As a Canadian, I am beginning to enjou this.

If they keep it up, WE get to make fun of THEIR health care system.

[Catholic Canadian]

I’m not. I don’t want to see our friends do themselves harm.

I'm amazed at the speed of the 'change' in the US.

Thanks for the ping, Clive.

[Canadian Outrage]

No kidding Clive. This entire mess is unbelieveable to me. Even the election of Obama has been unbelieveable to me. CO

D'accord.

But as my mother often said: "Better to laugh at it than cry at it."

And laughter has potential to foster clearer thinking.

Bah, CC. Clive was making a light hearted comment about this surreal situation.

None of us deserve to have socialism shoved down our throats, and we don’t wish it on others.

Having reviewed a couple hundred pages, I knew enough to be terrified.

There will be more bureaucrats than doctors, maybe more than nurses as well.

In that 200 pages I found about 15 new bureaucracies. They throw around billions of dollars like its chicken feed. 75 BILLION here, 150 BILLION there, no problem.

The bureaucrats will have working access to private citizen IRS data on individuals so that they can determine if the individual could actually afford to pay more. !

Only 111?
