“Behind the scenes, Obama is pushing for a mechanism that would take Medicare payment authority out of the hands of politicians and invest it in a separate entity, possibly under the executive branch. “
And the Congress & House are too stupid to realize how much authority the “Executive Branch” meaning Obama is taking.
You gave me my talking points for our Rat Congressman (little good it will do now, but puts him on notice for next year).
I doubt they don’t realize it. This may actually be the sort of thing causing many donks to vote against it. No one gives up any power, willingly. Congress has a reputation of being very jealous of their turf. Since it is a turf rife with possibilities of dispensing patronage, it is likely being defended.
Said donks can then bleat about their fiscal conservativeness.
God knows what other Executive power grabs are in that monstrosity of a bill. The Democrat majority was just thrown under the bus by zerO. This could be fun!

Being toted as the “white angel” by Propaganda minister Nancy Pelosi and Reichsführerr Rham Emanuel.
