"Gee. Ya think."

Mindful that the new health care law’s ability to slow rising medical costs will depend to a great extent on how it is put in effect, President Obama is assembling a high-level team to carry out key elements of the overhaul and is considering moving faster than the law requires to put them into action.
Sebelius has begun work on the first of what will be numerous regulations for Medicare, Medicaid and private health care providers.
The secretary can expand successful ideas nationwide without Congress's permission.
Mr. Obama, whose legacy will be shaped less by the law's passage than by how well it works, has begun marshaling what is "essentially the biggest transformation of government since World War II,"...
But Mr. Obama has urged advisers to consider moving sooner to set up an Independent Payment Advisory Board for controlling Medicare spending. Some administration officials, however, fear that creating the board much before 2014 could prematurely make it a target for attacks of the "death panel" sort, leaving it politically vulnerable before its powers to impose changes take effect.
The board was a top priority for Mr. Obama during the long legislative battle.

Who will impeach the racist kenian anti-american outlaw “presidente”?
No one.
I think odumber understands that HE OWNS this piece of garbage. His name is written all over it. As it begins to screw up every aspect of American life, the American people will come to curse the day they went insane and handed this wreak of a man the keys to the WH. The pathetic narcissist has a legacy to consider instead of jobs for American people.
If all else fails, we can shut it down by refusing to funding it. Dear leader knows this and is desparate. We amuse him. Ha! He sees the writing on the wall.
“Sebelius has begun work on the first of what will be numerous regulations for Medicare, Medicaid and private health care providers.”
Oh joy!! I can just imagine the size of this straitjacket.
They already have. Have you noticed how much of your income they confiscate from your pay before you even see it?
We've been slaves for a long time. Most of us don't realize it, however, because the chains of our enslavement is debt and our prisons are plush homes that we'll never own.

I know, but this healthcare thing will make it much worse.
Tricare/military coverage for mental health benefits was cut 10% in April - no change in co-pay for enrollees but docs reimbursement rate was cut. Watch them start bailing out of this program just like they are out of Medicare. Pretty soon we’ll all have this great insurance but no one to provide services except for a Physician’s Assistant or R.N.
The New York Times misspelled the word allows.
Hope that helps.
REMOVE FROM OFFICE.
IMMEDIATELY.
Me thinks they (Bowrama’s bunch) know how the courts are going to rule!
Who decides what “successful” means? Given that Dear Leader’s definition of “up” is my definition of “down”, I’d say I’m not going to like the results.
If the courts can’t solve it, 2013 will salvage what remains and begin the rebuilding.
translate he knows if we win we have a good chance of overall or repeal by not funding so he is quick now to try and implement it and then he can say they are taking health care away from you
Now, if the American people really WANTED this, they would NOT have to play these stupid GAMES!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.
