Sebelius to Get “Unprecedented New Powers” Under Health Bill.
This is the same technique they used with the Lisbon Treaty,
leaving vague, open powers, which will be exploited upon passage.
(Washington Examiner – Susan Ferrechio)
A quick search of the Senate health bill will bring up “secretary” 2,500 times.
That’s because Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius would be awarded unprecedented new powers under the proposal, including the authority to decide what medical care should be covered by insurers as well as the terms and conditions of coverage and who should receive it.
“The legislation lists 1,697 times where the secretary of health and humans services is given the authority to create, determine or define things in the bill,” said Devon Herrick, a health care expert at the National Center for Policy Analysis.
For instance, on Page 122 of the 2,079-page bill, the secretary is given the power to establish “the basic per enrollee, per month cost, determined on average actuarial basis, for including coverage under a qualified health care plan.”
The HHS secretary would also have the power to decide where abortion is allowed under a government-run plan, which has drawn opposition from Republicans and some moderate Democrats.

Bang the phones of your Senators to stop the health care bill.
Tell them...
1. Eat your own cooking first - if it's good enough for us,
make it the mandatory health coverage for Congress too.
Ask them why they exempted themselves and their staffers?
2. Fix the economy first, focus on jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Once the economy is fixed, then we'll talk about healthcare,
why the bum rush anyway?
3. If there's $500 billion in medicare fraud and waste,
find it and fix it first, then come talk to us.
4. The US dollar is collapsing in value and we can not
afford new bills for which we can not pay.
CATO says Obamacare will cost $3.5 Trillion+
China told the President - do not pass healthcare now.
And this bill will tax us for three years, before we would
even receive benefits. That's insanity and goes beyond
Enron style accounting gimmicks.
Get on the phone, and send a follow up email, or fax today.
Stop Obamunism!
And don't forget to ask them - why is Obama going to Copenhagen
after Climategate?!?!?
How about staying home and focusing on the economy and
investigating the climategate fraud?
Tell them they had better not even dream of passing the
Cap & Trade Bill after all the climategate fraud has been
exposed.
