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.
http://democrats.senate.gov/reform/patient-protection-affordable-ca...
it starts on page 1312.
Let me see if I understand this...are you saying he’d have a ‘national police force’ to make people do as he wants them to do, like the SS in Germany? Oh man...I thought it was like the draft for service (I read legal stuff and my eyes glaze over), but this is even WORSE!
I remember a RAND study that promoted this, I guess this is now happening. Very sad.
This was going on for a while. from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee

This is incredible! I can hardly believe this is real...
Good. Give them sharp, distinguished uniforms, they’ll be easier to target on that day.

What is this doing in a “Health care” bill and why did no one report it before?
Serious looksee ping.
They will not get much of anything for those relatively humble amounts of money. Of course you and I could outfit a nice force for that money but they can’t.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Target-rich environment...

I still don’t like it. It’s eerie.
The US version of Hitlers SS
now tied to health care . Josef Mengele would be proud.
Here's a link to some info on the current Commissioned Corps:
Seems it’s a reference to a fast-acting medical service team, not a military/police organization.
Funny how these things come out and the so called repubs in the senate and house don’t mention these tidbits.
“Looks to me that doctors that won’t work with or under Obamacare will just get drafted!”
The Doc Corpse.
No, it looks to me like they are getting ready to start another health crisis in order to use his little Ob-army.
These democrats are some sick puppies.
***(4) ACTIVE DUTY.—Commissioned officers of the Ready Reserve Corps shall at all times be subject to call to active duty by the Surgeon General, including active duty for the purpose of training.***
Call to Active Duty by the SURGEON GENERAL???
What is the Track?
Now that the federal government has taken over all student loans, is everyone who takes one out going to owe them two years of their life?
