He doesn’t allow an opportunity to bypass the Constitutionally mandated role of Advice and Consent by the Senate to go to waste either.

This from someone who has probably read a lot about the NHS, but has never received care from them. From my very unfortunate experience, medical care in Britain and throughout Europe is pathetic. It’s awful. This guy wants that standard of care for Medicare. To all you retirees out there who voted for Obama, well done. Enjoy your crappy rationed health care in the twilight of your days. Maybe in your next life you’ll understand that elections have consequences.

…based on the assumption, so far correct, that all the right people will suspend incredulity at seeing it all take place no nakedly. Depending on how fast these czars can hit the ground running, by the time the Court tosses Heathcare (just for instance) out, it may already be too deeply embedded to undo. I hope someone at Heritage is working on this

Obama, in his never ending quest to be dictator in chief, has again demonstrated his willingness to end run his radical left Marxist agenda.
Obama knew, in an election year, even leftist’s Democrats would run away from this Marxist Berwick appointment.
Thanks to all of you 60+ AARP idiots who voted and still support Obama have signed your own death warrants! For all of those grandchildren that supported and stupidly fell for the Obama hype and lies, grandma and grandpaw won’t be around much longer to brighten your days.

What Bambi wants, Bambi gets, and Bambi wants Berwick, an ivory tower ideologue with no real world administrative experience. Sounds like win-win to me.

First he gives his opponents more ammo for his impending referendum this fall by skipping the whole transparency thing, again. Additionally, he continues to populate his government with thinkers, not doers, who will ultimately be poor adminstrators of policy.

So while he sows the seeds of his own political defeat, he creates an ineffective bureaucracy which is already failing to implement reforms when the opposition takes over and shuts everything down.

Like I said, win-win.

Prove you’re sick enough for surgery: Cash-strapped NHS trust introduces rationing for common children’s conditions. ~ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1282127/Cash-strapped-NHS-trust-introduces-rationing-common-childrens-operations.html#ixzz0t09dPIJFDaily Mail UK

are more serious than the average person can fathom. I wrote about him in a comment in a previous diary of mine. I also said this in another reply in the post, and the fact that this administration has let him in via a back-door, hastens these outcomes. It is the Leftist plan and the only way they will actually begin to cut the exorbitant HC costs that the government cannot afford:

Assisted suicide will be encouraged, the elderly will be encouraged to forgo expensive treatments, or maybe they will be denied outright. There will be limits on resources for disabled children and adults. This is not an outlandish scenario.

Warning bells should be pealing in everyone’s ears. This will be the start of human culling in America. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

“doesn’t have a statement” about it because they are on recess. I asked if the Senator has access to a phone while he is on “vacation”.

I knew when I called that the commie on the other end of the line wouldn’t really care but you still have to call. We don’t want them to be too surprised when they get bounced out of office.

unless you read conservative blogs, listen to Rush, Beck, Levin, etc, or watch Fox news, you don’t know these things are taking place. How do we get the public to hear and understand what this administration is doing to destroy our country. Unless we have the right candidate running in 2012, we won’t obama out of office and the damage he will do in a second term will be unimaginable.

All we can do is hope & pray that the Gelding Old Party gets a testicle & spine implant before 11/2 and retakes the Majority in the House and/or Senate and continues on to replace the Marxist in the Oval Office in 2012.

Ho. Ly. Crap. Why is healthcare a right again? We kinda just glossed over that big fat assumption. You take that apart, you take apart this whole argument for socialized medicine. Healthcare is primarily elective, not required. Boob jobs, porcelain veneers, LASIK, vasectomies, even preventative measures, or the choice between options in a non-elective case (chemo vs. radiation vs. palliative care). Choices abound, yet if it’s all a right, then who chooses? Who manages cost-benefit?

How again is the invisible hand darkness? Government creates darkness because they’re not accountable.

This guy makes me throw up in my mouth a little.

a dictatorship.

From The Hill…

The Obama administration has not ruled out turning sick people away from an insurance program created by the new healthcare law to provide coverage for the uninsured.

Critics of the $5 billion high-risk pool program insist it will run out of money before Jan. 1, 2014. That’s when the program sunsets and health plans can no longer discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions.

Administration officials insist they can make changes to the program to ensure it lasts until 2014, and that it may not have to turn away sick people. Officials said the administration could also consider reducing benefits under the program, or redistributing funds between state pools. But they acknowledged turning some people away was also a possibility.

Got that? The Administration insists that they can “make changes” so the program won’t run out of money and people are turned away. Then they go to great lengths to explain their options TO turn people away.

It gives the limits to how long an appointment can stay in office without conformation.

Instead of assisted suicide , Berwick prefers that the patients die,waiting in line for the doctor. The end result is the same. If the Republicans in the senate grow a spine they will say: “Right,Obama just traded Berwick for Kagan.Let the filibuster begin.”

It has become clear that seniors will be most damaged by both Obamacare and the type of rationing that Berwick favors. We should never let Democrats forget that the segment of our public that usually shows up in large numbers to vote has been trampled egregiously by their undemocratic misadventures.

Democrats have proven they give no quarter to our fundamental governmental processes in pushing their anti-democratic, freedom diminishing remake of our Republic. They will pay dearly for generations if Republicans yield to good sense, rejuvenate a fondness for public opinion, decry politics, restore fiscal sensibility and replace their so-called leadership.

The lunatic-left healthcare RATIONING, ABORTION and DEATH PANEL czar is now in place.

Worse, this is just another example of the dictator-manque position of this administration against the people of the US.

The administration is suing Arizona, even over objections of many Democratic representatives from that state. And it is suing to stop the state from administering the very same laws the fed. does not follow.

20 states are suing the feds over the non-Constitutional passing of the so-called healthcare reform.

Half a dozen states have passed or are considering legislation telling the federal government that they will not participate in the new Obamanationcare.

A federal court in Louisiana having had the gall to overturn the dictatorial moratorium on oil drilling is now being APPEALED, under the spurious challenge that the gov’t needs time to investigate problems of deep-water drilling. The EPA and MMS already have all the rules and regulations they need, and that they themselves don’t apply them or administer them capriciously is not going to be changed by ruining the economics of the Gulf states. But the thugs in DC do not care about ruining businesses and corporations. They are already inducing a Great Depression II everywhere.

The goal of taking back the House and trying to tie the Senate will make NO DIFFERENCE at all as long as Obama and his crew are determined to change the US into a Cuba with a totalitarian leadership. He can bypass the Senate with recess appointments. He can issue executive orders. He can appoint czars. How can those actions be stopped no matrer who occupies the Congress or even the courts?

17 states have legislation under consideration to require all candidates submit qualifications for being on the states’ ballots, including birth ceritificates.

Now, Redstate finds Obama’s birth certificarte anathema, but as now a former elections clerk in Hawaii, Tim Allen, maintains there is no Hawaiian birth certificate at all and says he would testify to his assertion, the ONLY way Obama is going to be stopped is driving him from office. Biden would be a babydoll by comparison, no matter how liberal and whacko he is. He not an authoritorian narcissist megalomaniac. They are only stopped by destruction or death.
