The 61-page online Obamacare draft application for health care includes asking if the applicant wants to register to vote, raising the specter that pro-Obama groups being tapped to help Americans sign up for the program will also steer them to register with the Democratic Party.
On page 59, after numerous questions about the applicant's identity and qualification for Obamacare, comes the question: "Would you like to register to vote?" The placement of the question could lead some to believe they have to register to vote to get health care.
In the introduction of the document, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services declare: "This document-the 'questionnaire'-represents each possible item that may need to be asked for successful eligibility determinations."
In a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius Monday, Rep. Charles Boustany Jr., chair of the House Ways and Means Oversight subcommittee, said HHS is overstepping its bounds by a mile.
"The draft documents wander into areas outside the department's purview and links applications for health insurance subsidies to voter registration," he wrote in the letter provided to Secrets. "The position of the question could lead some to think voter registration is somehow tied to subsidy eligibility," he added.
Boustany, a Louisiana Republican, said the application raises two alarming issues: What does HHS plan to do with all the information it collects on each applicant and will pro-Obama groups like AARP and Families USA that might be tapped as "navigators" to sign people up to Obamacare, steer them to register as Democrats. Others have indicated that groups like Planned Parenthood and ACORN could also act as a navigator....

“Navigators?”
What is this, the Soviet Union? Nazi Germany?
Renew your Driver’s License?
Sign up to vote.
Apply for Food Stamps?
Sign up to vote.
Apply for Unemployment Benefits?
Sign up to vote.
Maybe people who pay lots of taxes should be urged to sign up?
Wait, I forgot, they’ve been voting since they were 18.
This kind of thing should not be allowed. Oh wait, nobody will do a thing to stop it.
Here is the big butt....when they find out how horrible Obamacare is, they may punish the democraps.
Wishful thinking. Probably.
That’s federal, it’s called “Motor Voter” and was signed into law by President Clinton, IIRC. I worked at the unemployment office in a Midwestern state, helping veterans find work, from 1983 to 2000.
And the Democrats want to extend Obamacare to illegals? How very convenient.
The Dems and some Reps (e.g., Paul, McCain, Rubio, and Graham) want to give an amnesty to the 12 to 20 illegals. The result will be that they will be eligible for Obamacare and more than likely subsidized by the taxpayers since most of them are on the lowest economic rung. Obamcare already adds 18 million to Medicaid without amnesty.
No wonder the Senate gave coverage to illegal aliens under 0bamacare.
All of this crap—motor-voter, Obamavote, etc., is designed to make illegals feel compelled to register to vote, since declining to do so makes them appear to be illegals.
Then once they’re registered, someone or other can cast a Democrat vote for them.

Last paragraph on page 1
“The Health care law ,,,,yet nowhere in the law is voter registration mentioned”...”The Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995....it does not give your department an interest in whether Americans choose to vote.”
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Does the form also say, “In the event of your death, you authorize 20 illegal immigrants to vote in the elections using your name”?
“What is this, the Soviet Union? Nazi Germany?”

Something like that... more so every day
BTW, I actually sat next to Uncle Milty in a Century City bar in 1990... talked to him for 5 seconds, nice guy
There is no recourse that does not involve watering the tree of liberty, it seems.
I remember back when they started ‘Motor Voter’ and I was complaining about it, the general attitude towards me was I must be paranoid for thinking it was a bad thing.
My train of thought was if one couldn’t find the Post Office and/or library or an office in the City/Town/County that you lived in that had a Voter Registrars office, you probably weren’t all that interested in voting anyway.
Just let that camel get his nose under the tent etc...Now ‘they’ just hold the flap open for him so ‘he’ doesn’t evewn have to work at it.
