Now let's take a look at the health care bill. I took a random paragraph from page 909.
IN GENERAL.—Effective on January 1, 2011, subject to paragraph (2), the provisions of this section shall preempt any law or regulation of a State or of a political subdivision of a State that requires an applicable manufacturer and applicable distributor (as such terms are defined in subsection (f)) to disclose or report, in any format, the type of information (described in subsection (a)) regarding a payment or other transfer of value provided by the manufacturer to a covered recipient (as so defined).Uh...that's clear, right? As mud? But read the two documents for yourself. I'd start with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights myself. It may take you a few hours if you ponder over the "confusing" passages. Then you can spend the rest of 2011 reading the health care bill and scratching your head. If you're interested in reading the part about taxing those who don't get health insurance (which is the item being fought as unconstitutional by a number of states including Virginia) go to page 296.
Wow! Did you catch his first comment about the Constitution? "It has no binding power on anything." Well, gee whiz! I thought the upholding of the Constitution was central to their oaths of office. No wonder the Post hired him!
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the post claiming that Muslims, Christian Scientists, that German Dyanetics thing that the movie star is in and some other religiously denominated group are exempt from the most crucial provisions of Obamacare? I read it on the web yesterday and then looked at one of those fact check sites where it seemed to be verified. Sorry, I can't locate it again today.
