Please check out the provision for a Commissioned Corps and Ready Reserve Corps. in the healthcare bill. I don't know what it has to do with healthcare but it sounds an awful lot like Obama just got his own personal militia.

it starts on page 1312.

[USAHOME]

God help us...most definitely. Wow. Speaking of scary!

[Travis McGee]

Well, Nazi Pelosi did say we'd find out what was in it AFTER it passed!

c) PURPOSE AND USE OF READY RESERVE.—

(1) PURPOSE.—The purpose of the Ready Reserve Corps is to fulfill the need to have additional Commissioned Corps personnel available on short notice (similar to the uniformed service’s reserve program) to assist regular Commissioned Corps personnel to meet both routine public health and emergency response missions.

Such as civilian disarmament.

Some people are saying the RRC is a medical RRC and not an arme done. Any idea to the truth?? I’d love to publish it. Section 5210 in the bill says not much about it all.

[Travis McGee]

Since they libtard fascist can define a pretzel as a jelly bean, it doesn’t matter much what they call it now. Just that it provides a legal shell for what is to come.

“Hitler only hated Jews, Homosexuals”

The ironic thing is that Hitlers right hand man in his taking power was a homo and in charge of the SA, which were the Brown Shirts and without them Hitler was nothing. The SA were known to be avid homosexuals that sodomized each other. It was rumoured that Hitler was also a homo and had affairs with the SA members.

[rarestia]

Penny for your thoughts on this, Trav. Are we up to armed resistance in America?

[The Pack Knight]

Right. The Surgeon General wears the uniform of the Public Health Service (which is modeled after the Navy uniform), with the rank insignia of a Vice Admiral.

[CodeToad]

“Could be enough funding to get “the camel’s nose in the tent.” Funding can always be increased at a later time.
“

Don’t forget, appropriations bills set the funding. This type of bill is just a suggestion for funding. They could say $1 then give a billion.

[Travis McGee]

Time will tell. Only a fool would want a civil war. Just study the Russian, Spanish, Lebanese and Bosnian Civil Wars to learn what true hell is.

OTOH, I’m not willing to be a slave to tyranny.

As the Spanish say, we are between the sword and the wall. There are no good options left.

[CodeToad]

“Just that it provides a legal shell for what is to come.”

It would be a simple byline in a bill to separate it to its own service.

[rarestia]

I’m reminded of movies where a squad or platoon has to lay completely silent while VC walk nearby. The patience and resolve to be on that razor’s edge must be immense.

Title V. Health Care Workforce

Strengthening the Public Health Workforce

The Act addresses critical public health workforce shortages by supporting the training of the public health workforce and physicians specializing in preventive medicine. It establishes a Ready Reserve Corps to respond in times of national emergency, and it supports fellowship training in public health as well as grants to promote the community health workforce.

Does this look to you like they’re ready to reinstate the draft?

Uh yeah, it does—one of the many goblins jumping out of this bill :(

(A) participate in routine training to meet the general and specific needs of the Commissioned Corps;

(B) be available and ready for INVOLUNTARY calls to active duty during national emergencies and public health crises, similar to the uniformed service reserve personnel;

Go to med school with any tuition assistance, be subjected to compulsory service for twice as long as schooling.

Get ready for American "barefoot doctors", ala China under Mao. Party Faithful will be given free Medical School, serve in the corps after in lui of paying for it.

[USAHOME]

Scary...just scary. I’m also worried he’ll make any student who takes out a loan ‘pay him back’ with ‘voluntary service’ like working for this militia. I have kids getting close to college age and I can tell you they’re NOT going to go into his service. I’d sell things or give up my retirement before that happens. Scary!
