SEC. 430. ESTABLISHING A READY RESERVE CORPS.
Section 203 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 204) is amended to read as follows:
SEC. 203. COMMISSIONED CORPS AND READY RESERVE CORPS.
(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—There shall be in the Service a commissioned Regular Corps and a Ready Reserve Corps for service in time of national emergency.
(2) REQUIREMENT.—All commissioned officers shall be citizens of the United States and shall be appointed without regard to the civil-service laws and compensated without regard to the Classification Act of 1923, as amended.
(3) APPOINTMENT.—Commissioned officers of the Ready Reserve Corps shall be appointed by the President and commissioned officers of the Regular Corps shall be appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate.
(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.
(5) WARRANT OFFICERS.—Warrant officers may be appointed to the Service for the purpose of providing support to the health and delivery systems maintained by the Service and any warrant officer appointed to the Service shall be considered for purposes of this Act and title 37, United States Code, to be a commissioned officer within the Commissioned Corps of the Service.
(b) ASSIMILATING RESERVE CORP OFFICERS INTO THE REGULAR CORPS.—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.
(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.
(2) USES.—The Ready Reserve Corps shall—
(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;
(C) be available for backfilling critical positions left vacant during deployment of active duty Commissioned Corps members, as well as for deployment to respond to public health emergencies, both foreign and domestic; and
(D) be available for service assignment in isolated, hardship, and medically underserved communities (as defined in section 399SS) to improve access to health services.
(d) FUNDING.—For the purpose of carrying out the duties and responsibilities of the Commissioned Corps under this section, there are authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to the Office of the Surgeon General for each of fiscal years 2010 through 2014. Funds appropriated under this subsection shall be used for recruitment and training of Commissioned Corps Officers.
The seven uniformed services are:
1. United States Army
2. United States Navy
3. United States Marine Corps
4. United States Air Force
5. United States Coast Guard
6. United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps
7. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Corps
Each of the uniformed services is administratively headed by a federal executive department and its corresponding civilian Cabinet leader.
Excellent point...
And don’t be surprised if they start putting fences around our health care institutions.
This obamanable obamanation must be infiltrated so we can get notice of their training, tactics and plans in time to set up our response to each attack on our freedom.
I’d voluteer, but I doubt that they are seeking 66 year old registered Republicans. I’d never pass the vetting process. Younger and currently unemployed FReepers might be able to pull it off, though.
I’m old, but reasonably fit and willing to take on some of the undercover field work. I don’t especially want to be a martyr, but neither do I want my grandkids trapped in a soviet style system.
Our lives, our fortunes, our Sacred Honor!
Are you saying #6 is new....or had been in there already?
This is what Jim wants.
2700 pages of mystery few have had a chance to read.
Not only does it establish the health police, but once the corps is established, then an unaccountable, unelected board will work up their rules of operation and budget.
I spit on congress.
.
Sounds more like a government paraimilitary medical corps.
Whatever it might be though — it is certainly unAmerican.
must bolster the defenses. Not a bad idea.
For many of us, our prior voter registration will be disqualifying factors.
Advice and Consent of the Senate ... more fodder for CSPAN.
O’Reilly never could get Congressman Weenie to tell him who the enforcers were last night. Weenie’s non-answers and body language were priceless - especially when he sighed and stared off to the side in silence because O’Reilly wouldn’t accept his BS. As much as I don’t care for O’Reilly, he did a number on Weenie.
I’m a registered Independent. I haven’t changed my status to Republican because It’s kind of fun. They survey me, and call me for opinions all the time. It’s kind of fun telling them off.
can you change you affilliation to Independent?
States better recall all their active duty military personnel. States better activate their militia, the National Guard and strengthen their forces now. The fear in Washington will slow down the communists takeover and give us time to deactivate all Senators and Representatives. All Senators and Representatives will face reelection immediately. The President should be impeached. The US Government has declared war on Americans. Sad but true.
Oh well, I can dream can't I?
I think the post stating we should all join up with this to undermine it from within is an excellent idea. I think that we should apply for the new IRS jobs that are coming up as well.
Hmmm....so, maybe these will be deployed to “community health care centers? while the Nomenklatura get their services at a private Mayo Clinic????
FEMA is alive and well and not going anywhere soon. FEMA already has a list of trained emergency medical/public safety personnel compiled by a National Integration Center maintained by each state. There has always been a debate about whether or not FEMA has the power to“draft” these folks into active service in times of emergency. Also the USPHS is an old and established branch of service. There is nothing inherently evil about these agencies and their stated functions. The danger is in how those functions could be subverted into a National Health Enforcement Agency.
In New Jersey you may register as Republican, Democrat or unaffiliated. You have to be registered in a party to work the polls, which I’ve been doing since sometime in the ‘80s. They put two from each party at each polling place, though I suspect RATs register Pub in some questionable districts so they can get control of the voting.

Maybe I’ll register Democrat...if I can bring myself to it.
