Obama Omen Tolls Death Knell 

 

February 24, 2009 -- In a joint session to Congress, President Obama says: "So let there be no doubt: Health care reform cannot wait, it must not wait, and it will not wait another year."

Subsequently, the voters were constantly deluged with torrents of disingenuous, mainstream news misinformation. (lying, mud-slinging smear propaganda)  Here is a classic example from the far uber-left-wing-nuts, Peter Soros funded MoveOn.org website, Media Matters for America:

August 19, 2009

After repeated debunking of "death panels," conservative media backtrack to "de facto death panels"

Just as former New York Lt. Gov. Betsy McCaughey backtracked on her false claim that the House health care reform bill would "absolutely require" end-of-life counseling, other conservative media figures are hedging their support forMedia Matters misused the word "Chyron". It is the graphics or words at the bottom of a TV screen usually unrelated to the current viewing content. The title line under the screen shot does refer to the televised image above. former Gov. Sarah Palin's false claim that the health care bill would create government "death panels" to decide who lives and dies. These conservatives are allowing that there won't be actual "death panels," but also claiming that the bill itself will inevitably lead to the government making end-of-life medical decisions, or as a Fox News chyron put it: "De Facto Death Panels." (see Chyron note)

March 9, 2010 -- Pelosi said of the Affordable Care Act, “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of controversy.”

March 21, 2010 -- The Senate passes its version of the bill, sending the legislation to Obama for his signature.

March 23, 2010 -- Obama signed the Health Care bill into law. The Supreme Court agrees to hear a legal challenge to the law after 26 states, led by Florida, petitioned the high court.

June 28, 2012 -- The Supreme Court ruled that the individual mandate portion of the health care law may be upheld within Congress' power under the taxing clause.

June 20, 2013 -- Three years have passed since Nancy Pelosi said, "We have to pass the bill so that  you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of controversy." - Okay Nancy, what are the "De Facto Death Panels" about in the Obamacare Bill?

Nancy, now that the fog has finally lifted, let me make this answer crystal clear, "The Obamacare Board is Answerable to NO One and it is the "De Facto Death Panel" - Need proof? Ask 10 year old Sarah Murnaghan about Health & Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius who refused to waive the rules barring her access to the adult lung-transplant list saying, "No, some will live and some will die", and where a Judge compassionately intervened for Sarah to be listed to receive a life-saving transplant.

The Independent Payment Advisory Board, the IPAB, threatens both the Medicare Program and the Constitution's separation of powers.  Once the board acts, its decisions can only be overruled by Congress and only through unprecedented and constitutional dubious legislative procedures featuring restricted debates, short deadlines for actions by congressional committees and other steps of the process, and a "three-fifths supermajority" vote requirements.

The law restricts Congress on how to kill the IPAB board, otherwise it's "incapable of extermination". It is subject to a "three-fifths supermajority", and only by a vote that takes place between January 1 - August 15, 2017. 

Obamacare mandates that the board impose deep Medicare cuts, while simultaneously forbidding it to ration care.  If the board fails to implement cuts, all of its powers are to be exercised by the HHS Secretary Sebelius or her successor. These actions will limit senior access to care because doctors and hospitals will limit or stop accepting patients, causing them to wait longer or forego care, the essence of rationing anyway - by simultaneously cutting Medicare and forbidding rationed care - all unintelligible "double-speak" dribble.

The IPAB's godlike powers are not accidental. Its goal, conspicuously proclaimed by the Obama administration, is to control Medicare spending in ways that are insulated from the political process. 

This wholesale transfer of power is at odds with the Constitutional separation of powers architecture. It's laws protect individual liberty by preventing undue aggregation of government power in a single entity since it requires diffusion of powers vertically limited and enumerated between the federal government with the states and horizontally by dividing powers between the three branches of government.

Congress - Repeal it or Constitutionally Challenge it!
