I don’t want to wish for the other shoe to drop.

Effective on the date of enactment of the Affordable Health Choices Act, all individuals classified as officers in the Reserve Corps under this section (as such section existed on the day before the date of enactment of such Act) and serving on active duty shall be deemed to be commissioned officers of the Regular Corps.

What about the boldface words don't you understand?

[MrB]

Yeah, as I was typing that, my mind kept flashing to Barry’s disgusting treatment of Netanyahu.

[TV Dinners]

Where can I find a copy of the latest bill online????

Thanks in Advanced

“Hitler Youth” is right. I wonder how long it’ll be before he starts going after the Jews in this country?

He'd go after the right wingers. The Jews are already in his back pocket...at least the left wing ones are.

Warning, everyone: The trolls are out in force on this thread. What does that tell you? This is the most dangerous part of the act and the part that the Obama trolls most want to obfuscate and deny.

After our experience with Dr. Hassan (the Fort Hood shooter) it's not likely folks will be comfortable with organizing doctors to any degree beyond their current level of organization.

This "ready reserve" business should be left to the states ONLY.

[fso301]

Did this actually make it through the “fixes”?

[crosshairs]

so why didn’t the Senate Republicans call them out on this during reconciliation?

Do you really have to ask?

[Boardwalk]

How transparent!

[firebrand]

This has nothing to do with the student loan program. It talks about states of emergency.

[Trailerpark Badass]

That said, and before you get out the flamethrowers (oops, too late), this kind of "humanitarian organization" under the creation & direction of "dear leader" DOES risk being bent into something sinister. There's a difference between that and "it's his private army". They're not armed. They're not even drilling with brooms.

Sure, yep , they'll just rush into "troubled areas" and control access to and distribution of things like medical care, power, food/water, emergency funding (read: banking). Maybe even "managing" emergency "shelters" and "housing," restricting movement, enforcing curfews.

You know, harmless stuff like that, that Federal government outsiders can do much more "forcefully" and "effectively" than the local rubes.

Yes, nothing to get worked up about.

Step 1. Obama isn’t gonna create and announce the Gestapo in one day. Neither did Hitler.....

You are correct, however, in observing that the mainstream media and many of our neighbors will observe that this is merely an innocent health care rapid response team. And we on the right will be characterized as kooks, etc., for crying in alarm.

What to do?

[unkus]

Time for a new one!

I believe this has to do with the office of the Surgeon General and the Commissioned Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service, and not the creation of a domestic military or paramilitary force:

That provision is totally unconstitutional. One Congress cannot proscribe actions of a subsequent Congress. Just think about what that would mean. It nullifies elections.

Remember Eric Holder excluded whites from being a “protected” class, taking yet another step to turning us into Nazi Germany’s Jews.

[Major Matt Mason]

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.

H.R.4872: Reconciliation Act of 2010

[DuncanWaring]

...some Republicans compare this man to Hitler.

Others point out that Hitler didn't need a teleprompter.
