Yesterday’s blog at the Weekly Standard<\/a> has a post which points out a rather troubling provision of the healthcare bill found on Page 1020.  <\/p>\n

The provision states:<\/p>\n

\n

“it shall not be in order in the senate or the house of representatives to consider any bill, resolution, amendment, or conference report that would repeal or otherwise change this subsection<\/strong>.” <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The subsection referred to is the Independent Medicare Advisory Board.<\/p>\n

The article points out:<\/p>\n

\n

“According to page 1001 of the Reid bill, the purpose of the Independent Medical Advisory Board is to “reduce the per capita rate of growth in Medicare spending.” For any fearmongers out there tempted to call an unelected body that recommends Medicare cuts a “Death Panel,” let me be clear. According to page 1004, IMAB proposals “shall not include any recommendation to ration health care”–you know, just like the bill says there’s no funding for abortion.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

At this point I am wondering if this bill is constitutional.  I am not sure that it is constitutional to require Americans to purchase something (heath insurance) or to send them to jail if they do not comply.  I keep hoping someone on the Democrat side will have the courage to stop this thing.  We need a “Mr. Smith Goes To Washington” moment. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
