First concept of economics:
Resources are scarce and limited
and demand for those resources is unlimited.
A rationing process will impose itself, even if that process is the complete depletion of the resource.
Be a shame if the names and addresses of this board were to be made public. Some nut could set up his/her own board. The government has to hope someone like Snowden doesn’t come along.
I do luv me some Megyn.
IPAB (Independent Payment Advisory Board) is the first agency of the “fifth branch” of govt.....composed of hand-picked unelected members:
1) It will make all important health care decisions by authorizing payment or not.
2) It is not funded by Congress and cannot have its budget reviewed or changed.
3) Its membership cannot be changed by future Presidents,
4) It cannot be repealed by Congress, except for a six month window in 2017.
5) Its decisions are not subject to judicial review.
6) It is not authorized by the Constitution, and is therefore immune to Constitutional processes.

Why is Obamacre herding seniors WITH ASSETS onto Medicaid---a program specifically structured for the poor?
Can you say redistribution of wealth?
Herding the elderly with assets into Medicaid has ominous consequences intriguing to sap-happy leftists. B/c assets, perhaps a home owned free and clear, securities, annuities, investment property, can be seized to pay for govt treatment.
Thus intergenerational transfers of wealth (a longtime liberal/progressive bugaboo)----are decimated.

Americans better be very wary of this con game---duping grampa/ma into signing up for Medicare/Aid. Boobamba's got plans.....secret, undisclosed plans for them.
Obamba can't get 'em to sign up on the healthcare.guv website---so he's throwing some 400,000 onto MEDICAID------and all the costs of medical care will be charged back.
How? By federal and state LIENS against signers' homes, and other assets.
The Obamacare con artists eliminated the ASSET TEST, (which would have prevented those with assets to even be considered for Medicaid coverage).
So those who now think, "Golly gee, my government loves me, Obama says I qualify for subsidized Medicaid care, I'll be well- taken care of"---have been suckered into a REVERSE ASSET LIQUIDATION FEDERAL MONEY GRAB.
And, once in the hands of the Obama hordes, all that money is untraceable.
