Stupak, Dems reach abortion dealBy Jared Allen and Jeffrey Young - 03/21/10 03:33 PM ET
Democrats have reached a deal on an executive order on
abortion that could hand them a victory on healthcare.
Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) announced a deal at a pressconference. He said the deal means Democrats will have the
216 votes they need to win a healthcare reform vote on thefloor.
"We're well past 216," he said at the press conference.
"Eight or nine" Democrats, including Stupak, will support the
healthcare bill because of the deal, according to an anti-
abortion rights Democrat.
"We've changed [our votes]," said Rep. Steve Driehaus(D-Ohio), who appeared at the press conference withStupak.
Driehaus said he's seen the executive order and can now vote
for the healthcare bill. He said Stupak has signed off, as well.
Driehaus spoke minutes before the press conference in the
Speaker's Lobby.
8/9/2019 Obamacare TYRANNY Has Begun
8/147
Separately, two other undecided Democrats said they would
vote for healthcare reform: Reps. Jim Cooper (Tenn.)
and Paul Kanjorski (Pa.).
Besides Driehaus and Stupak, other Democrats attending the
press conference, who will now support the bill, were Reps.
Marcy Kaptur (Ohio),Nick Rahall (W.Va.),Alan
Mollohan (W.Va.) and Kathy Dahlkemper (Pa.). Allsaid they would vote for the healthcare bill.
Stupak said Rep. Joe Donnelly (Ind.), who was unable to
attend the press conference, will also vote yes.
That puts Democrats ever so close to the 216 votes they need to
win a series of floor votes, according to The Hill's whip count.
By The Hill's count, 35 Democrats are no votes or likely no
votes. Democrats can afford to lose 37 members.
Two other Democrats are undecided: Reps. Bobby Rush
(Ill.) and Loretta Sanchez (Calif.).
Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said he expectsRush to vote yes.
Stupak said on Fox News afterward that the executive order
was a "very strong statement" that wouldn't replace statutory
language -- his preference -- but acknowledged that he couldn't
get such language through the Senate.
"All the safeguards we were looking for, the principle we
fought for all these months, will be enforced through this
exeuctive order," Stupak said. "It's a good agreement."
8/9/2019 Obamacare TYRANNY Has Begun
9/147
Stupak also stressed that fixes to the bill could be enacted
between now and 2014.
Pro-abortion-rights Democrats lined up behind the deal,
signaling that healthcare reform's biggest and last hurdle hadbeen overcome.
"It looks like it's a go," Rep. Jan Schakowsy (D-
Ill.) said after exiting Pelosi's office. "Assuming that there'sno final, final, final, final shenanigans that go on with the
Stupak people, I think we're OK."
Rep. Lois Capps (D-Calif.), the author of the abortionlanguage initially approved in the House Energy and
Commerce Committee that Stupak's November floor
amendment replaced, was also satisfied.
"I'm pleased that we seem to be getting to the end," said
Capps. "I'm thankful that we're to the point where now we can
concentrate on healthcare reform and we're ready to take a
vote."
House Republicans responded, saying the executive order
would not have the authority to implement its own abortion
language.
"The law of the land trumps any Executive Order,which can be reversed or altered at the stroke of a
pen by this or any subsequent President without
any congressional approval or notice," House
Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) said in a
statement. "Moreover, while an Executive Order
8/9/2019 Obamacare TYRANNY Has Begun
10/147
can direct members of the executive branch, it
cannot direct the private sector."
Outside groups on both sides of the abortion divide do not
appear poised to support an agreement between the two
Democratic camps. The National Right to Life Committee and
the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops each issued statements
rejecting the notion of using an executive order as a bulwark
against taxpayer dollars being used to fund abortion services.
Meanwhile, abortion rights advocates like the Planned
Parenthood Federation of America and NARAL already
opposed the Senate language Obama's order would ostensiblyaffirm.
As the Democrats reached their agreement, Republicans enter
House floor in single file, each asking for unanimous consent to
revise and extend their remarks in opposition to "this flawed"
healthcare bill. The Republicans can still throw their biggest
roadblock later tonight with their motion to recommit.

20 WAYS OBAMACARE WILL TAKE AWAY
OUR FREEDOMS
With House Democrats poised to pass the Senatehealth care bill with some reconciliation changes
later today, it is worthwhile to take a
comprehensive look at the freedoms we will lose.
Of course, the overhaul is supposed to provide us
with security. But it will result in skyrocketing
insurance costs and physicians leaving the field indroves, making it harder to afford and find
medical care. We may be about to live Benjamin
Franklins adage, People willing to trade their
8/9/2019 Obamacare TYRANNY Has Begun
12/147
freedom for temporary security deserve neither
and will lose both.
The sections described below are taken from HR3590 as agreed to by the Senate and from the
reconciliation bill as displayed by the Rules
Committee.
1. You are young and dont want health
insurance? You are starting up a small business
and need to minimize expenses, and one way to dothat is to forego health insurance? Tough. You
have to pay $750 annually for the privilege.
(Section 1501)
2. You are young and healthy and want to pay for
insurance that reflects that status? Tough. Youll
have to pay for premiums that cover not only you,but also the guy who smokes three packs a day,
drink a gallon of whiskey and eats chicken fat off
the floor. Thats because insurance companies will
no longer be able to underwrite on the basis of a
persons health status. (Section 2701).
3. You would like to pay less in premiums by
buying insurance with lifetime or annual limits on
coverage? Tough. Health insurers will no longer
be able to offer such policies, even if that is what
customers prefer. (Section 2711).
http://rules.house.gov/http://rules.house.gov/http://rules.house.gov/http://rules.house.gov/8/9/2019 Obamacare TYRANNY Has Begun
13/147
4. Think youd like a policy that is cheaper
because it doesnt cover preventive care or
requires cost-sharing for such care? Tough.
Health insurers will no longer be able to offerpolicies that do not cover preventive services or
offer them with cost-sharing, even if thats what
the customer wants. (Section 2712).
5. You are an employer and you would like to
offer coverage that doesnt allow your employers
slacker children to stay on the policy until age 26?Tough. (Section 2714).
6. You must buy a policy that covers ambulatory
patient services, emergency services,
hospitalization, maternity and newborn care,
mental health and substance use disorder services,
including behavioral health treatment;prescription drugs; rehabilitative and habilitative
services and devices; laboratory services;
preventive and wellness services; chronic disease
management; and pediatric services, including
oral and vision care.
Youre a single guy without children? Tough,your policy must cover pediatric services. Youre
a woman who cant have children? Tough, your
policy must cover maternity services. Youre a
teetotaler? Tough, your policy must cover
8/9/2019 Obamacare TYRANNY Has Begun
14/147
substance abuse treatment. (Add your own
violation of personal freedom here.) (Section
1302).
7. Do you want a plan with lots of cost-sharing and
low premiums? Well, the best you can do is a
Bronze plan, which has benefits that provide
benefits that are actuarially equivalent to 60% of
the full actuarial value of the benefits provided
under the plan. Anything lower than that, tough.
(Section 1302 (d) (1) (A))
8. You are an employer in the small-group
insurance market and youd like to offer policies
with deductibles higher than $2,000 for
individuals and $4,000 for families? Tough.
(Section 1302 (c) (2) (A).
9. If you are a large employer (defined as at least
101 employees) and you do not want to provide
health insurance to your employee, then you will
pay a $750 fine per employee (It could be $2,000 to
$3,000 under the reconciliation changes). Think
you know how to better spend that money?
Tough. (Section 1513).
10. You are an employer who offers health flexible
spending arrangements and your employees want
8/9/2019 Obamacare TYRANNY Has Begun
15/147
to deduct more than $2,500 from their salaries for
it? Sorry, cant do that. (Section 9005 (i)).
11. If you are a physician and you dont want thegovernment looking over your shoulder? Tough.
The Secretary of Health and Human Services is
authorized to use your claims data to issue you
reports that measure the resources you use,
provide information on the quality of care you
provide, and compare the resources you use to
those used by other physicians. Of course, this willall be just for informational purposes. Its not like
the government will ever use it to intervene in
your practice and patients care. Of course not.
(Section 3003 (i))
12. If you are a physician and you want to own
your own hospital, you must be an owner andhave a Medicare provider agreement by Feb. 1,
2010. (Dec. 31, 2010 in the reconciliation changes.)
If you didnt have those by then, you are out of
luck. (Section 6001 (i) (1) (A))
13. If you are a physician owner and you want to
expand your hospital? Well, you cant (Section6001 (i) (1) (B). Unless, it is located in a country
where, over the last five years, population growth
has been 150% of what it has been in the state
(Section 6601 (i) (3) ( E)). And then you cannot
8/9/2019 Obamacare TYRANNY Has Begun
16/147
increase your capacity by more than 200%
(Section 6001 (i) (3) (C)).
14. You are a health insurer and you want to raisepremiums to meet costs? Well, if that increase is
deemed unreasonable by the Secretary of
Health and Human Services it will be subject to
review and can be denied. (Section 1003)
15. The government will extract a fee of $2.3
billion annually from the pharmaceuticalindustry. If you are a pharmaceutical company
what you will pay depends on the ratio of the
number of brand-name drugs you sell to the total
number of brand-name drugs sold in the U.S. So,
if you sell 10% of the brand-name drugs in the
U.S., what you pay will be 10% multiplied by $2.3
billion, or $230,000,000. (Under reconciliation, itstarts at $2.55 billion, jumps to $3 billion in 2012,
then to $3.5 billion in 2017 and $4.2 billion in
2018, before settling at $2.8 billion in 2019
(Section 1404)). Think you, as a pharmaceutical
executive, know how to better use that money, say
for research and development? Tough. (Section
9008 (b)).
16. The government will extract a fee of $2 billion
annually from medical device makers. If you are a
medical device maker what you will pay depends
8/9/2019 Obamacare TYRANNY Has Begun
17/147
on your share of medical device sales in the U.S.
So, if you sell 10% of the medical devices in the
U.S., what you pay will be 10% multiplied by $2
billion, or $200,000,000. Think you, as a medicaldevice maker, know how to better use that money,
say for R&D? Tough. (Section 9009 (b)).
The reconciliation package turns that into a 2.9%
excise tax for medical device makers. Think you,
as a medical device maker, know how to better use
that money, say for research and development?Tough. (Section 1405).
17. The government will extract a fee of $6.7
billion annually from insurance companies. If you
are an insurer, what you will pay depends on your
share of net premiums plus 200% of your
administrative costs. So, if your net premiums andadministrative costs are equal to 10% of the total,
you will pay 10% of $6.7 billion, or $670,000,000.
In the reconciliation bill, the fee will start at $8
billion in 2014, $11.3 billion in 2015, $1.9 billion in
2017, and $14.3 billion in 2018 (Section
1406).Think you, as an insurance executive, know
how to better spend that money? Tough.(Section
9010 (b) (1) (A and B).)
18. If an insurance company board or its
stockholders think the CEO is worth more than
8/9/2019 Obamacare TYRANNY Has Begun
18/147
$500,000 in deferred compensation? Tough.
(Section 9014).
19. You will have to pay an additional 0.5%payroll tax on any dollar you make over $250,000
if you file a joint return and $200,000 if you file an
individual return. What? You think you know
how to spend the money you earned better than
the government? Tough. (Section 9015).
That amount will rise to a 3.8% tax ifreconciliation passes. It will also apply to
investment income, estates, and trusts. You think
you know how to spend the money you earned
better than the government? Like you need to ask.
(Section 1402).
20. If you go for cosmetic surgery, you will pay anadditional 5% tax on the cost of the procedure.
Think you know how to spend that money you
earned better than the government? Tough.
(Section 9017).

Healthcare by the Numbers
$1.2 trillion: The total cost of the bill between 2010 and2020 (though the real costs do not start until 2014),
including $940 billion in coverage subsidies, $144.2
billion in additional mandatory spending, $70 billion in

discretionary spending in the Senate bill, and $41.6
billion in unrelated education spending.
$208 billion: The cost of a ten year patch for theSustainable Growth Rate (SGR) to prevent reduction inMedicare physician payments. This cost is hidden
because it was included in the earlier Democrat bill, but
was dropped to provide a better cost estimate. It is
expected to move separately and would bring the true
cost of the takeover to $1.4 trillion.
$569.2 billion: Tax increases in the legislation, including$48.9 billion in new tax increases in the reconciliation
bill alone.
$52 billion: The amount of new taxes on employers whocannot afford to pay their employees health care,
imposed at a time when unemployment is 9.7 percent.
12: The number of new tax increases in the bill thatviolate President Obamas pledge that, Under my plan,
no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any
form of tax increase.
46%: The percentage of families making less than$66,150 who will be forced to pay the individual
mandate tax.
16,500: The estimated number of IRS auditors, agentsand other employees that may be needed to collect the
hundreds of billions in new taxes levied on the
8/9/2019 Obamacare TYRANNY Has Begun
21/147
American people.
$20 billion: The estimated amount of money that the
IRS and HHS will need for the cost of additionalregulations, bureaucracy, and red tape over the next ten
years. This spending is not included in CBOs cost
estimate of H.R. 4872.
$53 billion: The amount of revenue this bill raids fromSocial Security to appear as if it actually reduces the
deficit.
$202.3 billion: The amount of money cut from theMedicare Advantage program for seniors to help offset
the costs of a new entitlement.
$436 billion: The amount of federal subsidies in the billthat will go directly to insurance companies to provide
health care in the exchange.1 out of 22: The number of times the Senate has notsomehow amended a reconciliation bill passed by the
House, and thus required further House action.
63%: The percentage of physicians surveyed who feelthat health reform is needed, but are opposed to this
sweeping overhaul legislation.
$9 billion: The amount that the Ways and MeansCommittee estimated Medicare would spend annually
after 25 years when it was passed in 1965. In reality,

Price: Obamacare Means 159 New
Gov't Agencies
http://www.gop.gov/blog/10/03/20/important-health-care-takeover-byhttp://www.gop.gov/blog/10/03/20/important-health-care-takeover-by8/9/2019 Obamacare TYRANNY Has Begun

Saturday, 20 Mar 2010 12:06 PM
The new government agencies that will be created as the
result of Obamacare will worsen the quality ofAmerican medical care by restricting physicians andhospitals to use their best judgment, according to Rep.Tom Price, R-Ga., a physician and chairman of theRepublican Study Committee.
In fact, he says, the bill would create 159 newgovernemnt agencies to regulate insurance and
medical care for Americans.
Writing for AOL News, Price says in an op-ed that thehealthcare overhaul being contemplated by HouseDemocrats will sacrifice the quality of health carethat has made this nation's practice of medicine theenvy of the world.
Quality remains one of the six principles of patient-centered health care that Republicans haveadvocated, Price writes. Yet, all Americans find inthe Democrats' government-centered vision arevarious boards of bureaucrats -- not practicingphysicians -- determining what is considered qualitycare.
The plan will take away the right of individuals tomake the best decisions about their healthcare inconsultation with their physician.
8/9/2019 Obamacare TYRANNY Has Begun
24/147
An individual patient is far better served when healthcare decisions are informed by the advice of theirdoctor, not the dictates of Washington, Price writes.
So when one reads the details of the legislationpending before Congress and finds the creation of 159new government offices and programs, there is littleelse to feel but fear and concern for what will happento the level of quality care in this country.
The GOP has pushed a series of common-sensemeasures, Price says, that include tort reform and
efforts to reduce waste and mismanagement ingovernment programs like Medicare.
Republicans are championing reform with no newbureaucratic boards making medical decisions, no$500 billion cuts to Medicare, no new mandates, andno one standing between you and your doctor, Price
writes. We can fix what ails our current systemwithout destroying it if we abide by the principle thatquality in health care must not be sacrificed.

Medicaid and financing other provisions of his health
agenda.
But, as Heritage analysts Karen Campbell and
Guinevere Nell explain in a recent paper, these new
taxes would have widespread adverse effects for all
Americans, not just the wealthy that they target. This is
partially due to the very nature of a tax:
A well-established economic regularity is that if you
tax something, you get less of it. For example,
policymakers in the Senate recently proposed a tax onCadillac health insurance plans. The justification was
that it would not only generate revenue to help pay for
subsidized insurance but also reduce demand for high-
priced premiums, putting downward pressure on all
health insurance premiums.
The Cadillac health insurance plan tax is intended to
reduce the usage of high-cost insurance plans.Similarly, the Presidents proposals tax on tanning
beds discourages their use; the same is the case with
cigarette taxes. In several instances, taxes are imposed
as punitive measures. So why on earth would the
President impose a tax that would discourage
investment, delaying recovery from the current
economic downturn?
Moreover, Campbell and Nell lay out several ways in
which this tax would hit average American households
hard. First, the tax would reduce overall household
wealth of American families by $274 billion per year.

27/147
The value of the investment portfolios of many
householdsnot just the high-income households that
directly pay the taxare reduced by the tax on
investment income.
Second, reducing investment would decrease capital in
the U.S. economy, which would reduce potential for
economical growth. This affects not only the rate of job
creation and wage increase: it would have a dramatic
effect on the ability of the federal government to borrow
money. According to Campbell and Nell, A lower U.S.
economic potential also harms the ability of thegovernment to borrow, because investors lend to the
U.S. based on the expected potential of the U.S.
economy. Thus a lower potential economy puts upward
pressure on government interest rates in order to
attract financing for the nations deficit. Raising
government interest rates will add further to the
financial burden on taxpayers.Because investment is what drives productivity and
economic growth, less investmenteven if only slightly
lessleads to lower productivity, slower economic
growth, weaker wages and salaries, and lower
household wealth. How much less depends on the
underlying supply and demand for investment.
President Obamas health care proposal would expand
health coveragebut is the detriment to the U.S.
economy and the burden on the taxpayer worth the
cost?

The health care plan President Obama recently released
is mostly a combination of the different plans passed by
the House of Representatives and the Senate. But in onemajor way it breaks with long-standing precedent,
proposing a fundamental wrong-headed change to both
entitlement policy and tax policy. He proposes for the
first time to tax capital income to support entitlement
programs.
Payroll taxes have always applied just to wages and
salaries and the revenue those taxes raise has gonesolely to pay for entitlements like Social Security and
Medicare. The deal has always been that we pay payroll
taxes during our working years and receive the benefits
they fund after we retire. President Obamas health
care plan would shatter this compact forever.
The Hospital Insurance (HI) portion of the payroll taxis 2.9 percent on all wages and salary that is paid half
(1.45 percent) by workers and half (the remaining 1.45
percent) by employers. It is supposed to pay only for the
hospital insurance portion of Medicare benefits that
retirees receive. President Obamas plan adopts this
break with long-held policy and doubles down by
further severing the link between HI and Medicare
benefits. Obamas plan not only increases the HI tax onwages and salaries for high-income earners similar to
the Senate bill, it also applies the HI tax to investment
income for the first time. Obamas unprecedented plan
would levy the current 2.9 percent HI tax on what the
8/9/2019 Obamacare TYRANNY Has Begun
30/147
administration obnoxiously refers to as unearned
income, which includes capital gains, interest,
dividends, annuities, royalties and rents for families
earning more than $250,000 a year ($200,000 for singlefilers).
Applying the HI tax to investment income would also
continue to transform entitlements and how they are
paid for. Using the revenue raised by levying the HI tax
on investment income would open the floodgates for
future rate increases to pay for other new spending
programs. Adding a new revenue stream for Congressto tap when it needs more money is always dangerous
and should be resisted at all costs, otherwise expanding
government will be too easy for Congress.
Yet this is likely the reason President Obama wants to
levy the HI tax on investment. Applying the HI tax
separately to investment income will forever give
Congress yet another tax to hike whenever it wants tofund a new program. If Congress can raise payroll taxes
easily to pay for any spending it desires, payroll taxes
will no longer be used to pay for entitlements, but as an
ATM for Congress to go back each time it needs more
cash.

Obamas Health Plan Taxes, Taxes Everywhere
Posted February 24th, 2010 at 12:59pm in Entitlements, Health Care with 3 comments
The White House recently released President Obamas
health care reform proposal. The plan incorporates a
mixture ofthe many tax increases passed by the House
and Senate, hiking taxes by almost $750 billion over ten
http://blog.heritage.org/category/entitlements/http://blog.heritage.org/category/health-care/http://blog.heritage.org/2010/02/24/obama%E2%80%99s-health-plan-taxes-taxes-everywhere/#commentshttp://www.heritage.org/Research/HealthCare/wm2706.cfmhttp://www.atr.org/updated-obamacare-raises-taxes-bybr-billion-a4560http://blog.heritage.org/category/entitlements/http://blog.heritage.org/category/health-care/http://blog.heritage.org/2010/02/24/obama%E2%80%99s-health-plan-taxes-taxes-everywhere/#commentshttp://www.heritage.org/Research/HealthCare/wm2706.cfmhttp://www.atr.org/updated-obamacare-raises-taxes-bybr-billion-a45608/9/2019 Obamacare TYRANNY Has Begun

years. This is on top of$1.3 trillion in other tax
increases the President recently proposed in his 2011
budget. Not that there is ever a good time to raise taxes,
but doing so as the economy is still emerging from adeep recession is particularly ill-advised and will likely
prolong full recovery. Moreover, the Presidents
proposal deviates from his stated goal to address the
soaring spending and debt problem the nation faces by
piling on massive new spending and taxes.
Payroll tax hikes: Obama accepted the Senates plan to
break long-held policy by raising the HospitalInsurance (HI) portion of the payroll tax on high-
income earners to pay for a new and unrelated health
care entitlement. He then doubled-down on this
dangerous new precedent by separately applying the HI
tax to investment income for the first time. The tax code
already taxes investment too much. Higher taxes still on
dividends, interest and business income increases thecost of capital which will further depress investment
and thus job creation. Ironic to propose this at the very
time the President wants employers to create jobs.
Medicare payroll tax would hit seniors: His proposed
tax hike on investment will hammer seniors particularly
hard because their investment income is a major
supplement to their pension and Social Security checks.Seniors also sell assets to raise income, so raising the tax
on capital gains further reduces their resources. Lastly,
raising the taxes on capital income and capital gains will
lower asset values. Nearly 30 percent of all stocks are

held in retirement savings plans. Most of the seniors
that rely on the income from these plans for their
livelihood are not fat cat investors that have been the
target of other populist tax hikes. They are people thatspent their working years saving money for their own
retirement in mutual funds, 401(k)s, IRAs, and other
savings vehicles. This would just punish them for a
lifetime of careful planning and saving.
Cadillac tax: The President also adopted an excise tax
on Cadillac health insurance plans similar to that in
the Senate plan. Obamas proposal would levy a 40%tax on plans that cost over $10,200 a year for
individuals and $27,500 for families, but wouldnt be
effective until 2018. The delay will no doubt give unions
and other favored groups time to negotiate their way
out of the tax through collective bargaining or gain a
complete legislative exemption at some point in the
future before the tax kicks in. It also means delayingpolitical pain. All the same criticisms of the excise tax
apply as before. For example, insurers will embed the
tax in the price of their plans. This will hide its cost
from their customers. The tax will also fall heavily on
middle and low-income workers whose taxes President
Obama pledged not to increase. The President would
have been better off capping the value of health
insurance employers can provide their employees taxfree. This is something that has wide support among
policy experts on the right and the left and would be a
real show towards openness to the bipartisan ideas he is
purporting.

34/147
Still more taxes: Just like the Senate and the House, his
plan incorporates a multitude of other tax hikes and
fees that will go towards paying for the monstrously
expensive bill. Some will raise taxes on people makingless than $250,000 a year, breaking a key campaign
pledge. Prime examples include:
Excise tax on medical device manufacturers;
Fee on brand name pharmaceuticals;
10 percent tax on tanning services;
Reduce the amount families can place in Flexible
Spending Accounts (FSA) and increase the penalties fornon-medical deductions from Health Savings Accounts
(HSA); and
Higher taxes on health insurance companies and
producers of medicine.
Each of these taxes will fall explicitly on those making
less than $250,000 or will be passed down to them. And
this is just a sample of the taxes that will hit thosemaking less than $250,000 in the Presidents plan.
There are many more. In fact, the mandate on all
individuals to purchase health insurance could also be
considered another steep tax hike on those making less
than $250,000.
Bottom Line: There is never a good time to raise taxes,
but even the talk of doing so now continues to cause
uncertainty in the economy. Sadly, the Presidents plan
is no better than those of the House or Senate: massive
new benefits paid for by a myriad of harmful new taxes.

Democrats' Plan Will NOT Protect Military Health Plans
From House Republican Policy:
9.2 million military personnel, families and retirees don't
deserve a back room deal?
"Although the health care legislation passed by the House
explicitly exempted TRICARE from being affected, the Senate bill
did not. Unfortunately, the parliamentary rules of tof the
reconciliation process did not allow for the inclusion of language
that specficially protects these programs."-- Armed ServicesCommittee Chairman Ike Skelton (D-MO)
Background: On March 18, 2010, just days before the House votes on the Democratsgovernment takeover of health care, House Armed Services Committee Chairman IkeSkelton (D-MO) announced he would introduce legislation to preemptively state thatTRICARE and the Department of Defense non-appropriated fund (NAF) health plansmeet all of the health care requirements currently under consideration by Congress forindividual health insurance. TRICARE and the NAF health plans programs providehealth coverage to members of the military and their families, military retirees and theirfamilies, and employees of U.S. military post/base exchanges. Chairman Skelton evenstated he would also insert this legislative language into the national defenseauthorization bill, reiterating the threat the health care bill currently poses to military
health plans. This is an explicit admission that the final Democrat health care bill doesnot protect these plans.
Military Protections Scrapped: The Senate-passed health care bill, which the House isexpected to deem passed on March 21, 2010, omitted protections for military
health plans that were included in the House bill. Specifically, the Senate language
does not appear to give the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care
system specific protection from interference by other government agencies
administering the various authorities contained in the massive bill, as it pertains to
minimum essential coverage. The minimum essential coverage language in the
Senate bill does cover the veterans health care program under chapter 17 of title
38, United States Code, but it is unclear whether that covers veterans survivors
and dependents.
The final bill would leave it up to a bureaucrat at the Department of the Treasury todetermine whether TRICARE meets the minimum standards under the Democratsindividual health insurance mandate. If that bureaucrat decides against TRICARE,service members and their families would have to buy some other health coverage or paya penalty.
http://www.gop.gov/blog/10/03/20/democrats-plan-will-not-protecthttp://www.gop.gov/blog/10/03/20/democrats-plan-will-not-protect8/9/2019 Obamacare TYRANNY Has Begun
37/147
In an effort to bolster support for the House health care takeover back in August 2009,the White House advertised that bills exemption for 9.2 million military personnel,families, and retirees covered under TRICARE and the military health plan. In August,the White House website stated that:
Health reform legislation that is being considered would enable those who are covered byTRICARE to meet the shared responsibility requirement for individuals to haveinsurance, thereby exempting such members of the uniformed services and dependantsfrom being assessed penalties. If enacted, the President will ensure that this exemption isimplemented aggressively.
Of course, the final health care bill does not include this promised exemption for militaryplans.
According to Armed Services Committee Ranking MemberBuck McKeon (R-CA), Weneed to fix this problem immediatelybefore Congress passes and the President signs
the legislation. By forgoing the traditional legislative process, Democrat leaders inCongressand the President who is pushing for immediate passage of the billhave reneged on assurances that the Senate legislation would be fixed in a
conference committee. Our military personnel deserve to know they will continue toreceive the same level of care they so rightly deserve.
Veterans groups would seem to agree. Thomas Tradewell Sr., the national commander ofthe Veterans of Foreign Wars stated that, I remain worried because a free press and aneven freer Internet continue to fuel speculation that both systems could be lost and/orabsorbed into a larger national healthcare plan.
Perverse Priorities: The Democrats government takeover of health care is chock-full ofbackroom deals for favored constituencies such as Louisiana, Connecticut,Nebraska and insurance companies. In their desperate headlong rush to pass a bill,however, Democrats have neglected to protect the integrity and independence of the DoDand VA health care systems and protect all of their health care beneficiaries. U.S. servicemembers and veterans deserve better.

The new fascism, same as the old fascism.
Obamacare Grants IRS Perilous Power, GOP Says
The Internal Revenue Service would gain sweeping new
powers under President Obama's healthcare reform
proposals, in what Republicans on the House Ways and
Means Committee are calling a "dangerous expansion"
of IRS powers.
That's according to a nine-page Republican report from
the Committee on Ways and Means on Thursday. It'stitled "The Wrong Prescription" Democrats' Health
Overhaul Dangerously Expands IRS Authority."
Among the new powers the IRS would assume, the
report says: The authority to confiscate tax refunds, to
impose fines of over $2,200 per taxpayer, and to verify
whether taxpayers' health insurance coverage is"acceptable."
One measure of the scope of the IRS' new
responsibilities under the healthcare overhaul: The
agency might have to hire as many as 16,500 additional
auditors, agents, and other employees in order to
administer the program, according to Rep. Dave Camp,
R-Mich., the ranking Republican on the Ways andMeans Committee.
"It is a very dangerous expansion of the IRS' power and
reach into the lives of virtually every American," Camp

cases where the HHS Secretary identifies a
significant risk of fraud among DME
suppliers.
Subtitle E Revenues
Sec. 1401. High-cost plan excise tax. Reduces
the revenue collected by the tax by 80
percent. This is achieved by: delaying the
application of the tax until 2018, which gives
the plans time to implement and realize the
cost savings of reform; increasing the dollar
thresholds to $10,200 for single coverage and
$27,500 for family coverage ($11,850 and
$30,950 for retirees and employees in high
risk professions); excluding stand-alone
dental and vision plans from the tax; and
permitting an employer to reduce the cost of
the coverage when applying the tax if the
employers age and gender demographics are
not representative of the age and gender
demographics of a national risk pool. Under
the modified provision, the dollar thresholds
are indexed to inflation and the dollar
8/9/2019 Obamacare TYRANNY Has Begun
52/147
thresholds are automatically increased in
2018 if CBO is wrong in its forecast of the
premium inflation rate between now and
2018.
Sec. 1402. Medicare tax. Modifies the tax to
include net investment income in the taxable
base. Currently, the Medicare tax does not
apply to net investment income. The
Medicare tax on net investment income doesnot apply if modified adjusted gross income is
less than $250,000 in the case of a joint
return, or $200,000 in the case of a single
return. Net investment income is interest,
dividends, royalties, rents, gross income from
a trade or business involving passiveactivities, and net gain from disposition of
property (other than property held in a trade
or business). Net investment income is
reduced by properly allocable deductions to
such income.
Sec. 1403. Delay of the annual limitation on
contributions to a health FSA. Delays the
provision by two years until 2013.
8/9/2019 Obamacare TYRANNY Has Begun

name pharmaceuticals for use in government
health programs by one year to 2011, and
increases revenue raised by the fee by $4.8
billion.
Sec. 1405. Excise tax on medical device
manufacturers. Delays the tax by two years
to 2013 and converts the industry fee to anexcise tax on the first sale for use of medical
devices at a rate of 2.9 percent. Exempts
from the tax Class I medical devices,
eyeglasses, contact lenses, hearing aids, and
any device of a type that is generally
purchased by the public at retail forindividual use.
Sec. 1406. Health insurance providers.
Delays the industry fee by 3 years to 2014
and modifies the annual industry fee for
revenue neutrality. In the case of tax-exempt
insurance providers, provides that only 50
percent of their net premiums that relate to
their tax-exempt status are taken into account
in calculating the fee. Provides exemptions
8/9/2019 Obamacare TYRANNY Has Begun
54/147
for voluntary employee benefit associations
(VEBAs) and nonprofit providers more than
80 percent of whose revenues is received from
Social Security Act programs that target low
income, elderly, or disabled populations.
Sec. 1407. Delay of elimination of deduction
for expenses allocable to Medicare part D
subsidy. Delays the provision by two years to
2013.
Sec. 1408. Elimination of unintended
application of cellulosic biofuel producer
credit. Adds an additional revenue provision.
In 2008, Congress enacted a $1.01 per gallon
tax credit for the production of biofuel from
cellulosic feedstocks in order to encourage the
development of new production capacity for
biofuels that are not derived from food source
materials. Congress is aware that some
taxpayers are seeking to claim the cellulosic
biofuel tax credit for unprocessed fuels, such
as black liquor. The provision would limit
eligibility for the tax credit to processed fuels
(i.e., fuels that could be used in a car engine
or in a home heating application).
8/9/2019 Obamacare TYRANNY Has Begun
55/147
Sec. 1409. Codification of economic
substance doctrine and penalties. Adds an
additional revenue provision. The economic
substance doctrine is a judicial doctrine that
has been used by the courts to deny tax
benefits when the transaction generating
these tax benefits lacks economic substance.
The courts have not applied the economic
substance doctrine uniformly. The provision
would clarify the manner in which the
economic substance doctrine should be
applied by the courts and would impose a
penalty on understatements attributable to a
transaction lacking economic substance.
Sec. 1410. Time for payment of corporateestimated taxes. Provides for a one-time
adjustment to corporate estimated taxes for
payments made during calendar year 2014.
Sec. 1411. No impact on Social Security trust
funds. Provides that Title II of the Social
Security Act (the old age, survivor, and
disability benefits program (OASDI)) is not
amended or modified by the bill.

Its time for the Speaker of the House to resign, as
she neither speaks for nor represents the Peoples
House.
After months of calling Americans racists, Nazis,
astroturfers, and radical right wing extremists,
and accusing Tea Party patriots of inciting
violence, how can Nancy Pelosi even dare to call
herself the Speaker of the House? Of whose
house? This must be TheAudacity of Botox,
puffed up beyond all belief.
Her promises, like her inflated self, are empty, full
of hot, stale, airlook at what she promised in
2006. the most open and most ethical Congress
in history. Heh.
This woman from the smallest district in thenation, representing a tiny slice of America, is as
far away from America as she can be. In fact, she
is another one of the stealth democratic
socialists in the Congress, with known ties to and
reverence of communist organizers in the United
States.
This post is intended to lend weight to the effort to
first, remove Nancy Pelosi as the speaker of the
house, and second, to ensure her election defeat in
2010. Thankfully, the Patriotic Resistance has

developed a resource page for politicians to watch
in 2010 and one of them delves into Nancy Pelosi.
In my view, the work on Pelosi relates entirely tothe Constitution and the protection of our
Republic: we now have avowed communists in the
White House, the Senate and House, and in the
shadow czar government that Obama has
assembled and that Congress is enabling.
Spotlight on the Speaker(a) Extraordinary & Unnecessary Bias and
Partisanship
One of the key architects of Obamas victory in
2008 was Nancy Pelosi. She, like many other so-
called democrats as super delegates, chastised
people to vote for the peoples choice and thenchanged her mind and chastised people the other
way when Clinton won the popular vote.
As Chair of the Democratic National Convention,
she manipulated the vote on the convention floor
in favor of Obama. Most crucially, Nancy Pelosi
signed the documents allowing Obama to be onthe state ballots as the Democratic Presidential
nominee, the subject of the must read post by jbjd,
The End Game. On January 8th, 2009, she
presided over the joint session of Congress to
http://www.resistnet.com/group/watchdogfornancypelosihousespeakerhttp://jbjd.wordpress.com/http://www.resistnet.com/group/watchdogfornancypelosihousespeakerhttp://jbjd.wordpress.com/8/9/2019 Obamacare TYRANNY Has Begun
69/147
certify the electoral vote despite the petitions of
hundreds, if not thousands, of citizens to certify
Obamas eligibility before concluding the vote.
Nancy Pelosi has exercised no leadership during
tenure. She has misrepresented legislation,
imposed silly partisan rules that allow her to
prevent legislation from even being presented on
the floor or in committee by any opponent, and
openly calls her constituents racists, bigots, and
frauds.
This is conduct unbecoming of a Speaker of the
House acting like a Chicago thug transplanted
to San Francisco.
(b) You Lie!
When Joe Wilson rightly called out you lie! toObama, Nancy Pelosi looked in disbelief, and of
course, made himapologizefor telling the truth
of course. She is a petty tyrant as a Speaker, for
sure. But when a fellow democrat Alan Grayson
accused the republican health care plan of
wanting seniors to die quicklyprecisely the
democrats planshe refusedto have him apologize.
She refused to have him apologize for telling a lie,
but demanded that Wilson apologize for telling
the truth. Hmmm.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09/30/democratic-lawmaker-republicans-want-americans-die-quickly/http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09/30/democratic-lawmaker-republicans-want-americans-die-quickly/8/9/2019 Obamacare TYRANNY Has Begun
70/147
And I dont believe for a minute it had anything to
do with a Presidential address (Wilson) vs. a
statement on the House floor (Grayson). No
Protocol Pelosi has not a leg to stand on.
(c) The Speaker of the House is Calling us Idiots,
and Worse
So Pelosi represents a tiny district in California,
composed of a small, tiny, segment of the
population, and she calls the rest of Americathugs?
(As of march 23, 2010, Pelosi approval rating is 11%.)
