(CNSNews.com) – Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius says President Obama “expects” all cabinet departments to leverage their resources in support of public health, a move she suggested is unprecedented.

“One of the things that’s happened in this administration, which I would suggest has not really happened in the past, is that the president has made it very clear to all of us at the cabinet level that while health may be directly in the portfolio of Health and Human Services, he expects all of the cabinet officers to spend some time figuring out ways that we can leverage their assets and work on this issue,” said Sebelius in an April 8 speech on Capitol Hill.

Community health centers are not subject to any restrictions concerning federal funding of abortion in Obamacare. While they don't currently perform abortions, they will become the next abortuaries because of this.

Obama is demonstrating his real intent while allowing some politicians to try to hide behind his ineffective executive order.

Makes sense. You can’t expect only one department to work on reforming our health care, when many more are needed
for IRS reviews, data implant chips, checking account monitoring, national ID cards, etc etc

I don’t think this is Obama showing concern for health.

This is Obama extending the tentacles of executive regulatory power.

Obama to agency heads: “where can you extend the grip of federal tyranny in the name of health?”

This is illegal. Congress decides how money is spent. Cabinet officials may not use that cash for propaganda purposes.

A Congressman should sue.

Oh this is true, our local paper in Illinois is carrying pieces on his dem reps & senators here, interviewing small businesses & saying how they are all in favor of the HC and how much it will help them! BS!

A friend of my son, who owns a small business, was approached by Debbie Halvorson (D-IL) to agree to an interview to comment on how much he liked the new HC bill. He refused, but many are falling for their trap & there are still the sheeple that read this crap & believe it!

Bingo!
It just gives more socialist activism to EVERY part of
government through the guise of “health care”.

These people have been planning this for a long time.
