I suppose any conservative-leaning organization could be said to be "aligned" with any other, as far as that goes. But the purpose of this thread is to debate the possible passage of a health-care bill that does not reveal what Congress is actually voting for, leaving that detail up to the HHS Secretary to decide after the fact.

If someone can show that any of the statements reported in the press with respect to this bill are false or misleading, regardless of their source, that's certainly germane. But I consider people who just want to wander in and shit on the floor to be off-topic. And yeah I know, it's hopeless.

I found this among the pages your site offered up Master Kirata.

Unless im reading this wrong... and im not sure i am... i dont find your article citing the bill accurately.



Kirata -> RE: Health Care Coronation (12/1/2009 1:03:00 AM)

Yes I understand, such statements can't be given any credibility because of their source, which (as you somehow know from reading the intention of their evil minds) wants people to "blindly accept" whatever kind of biassed "crap" (to use the Brain's term) they feel like pushing. Kinda like you, apparently, which is maybe where your ideas about what's in their head come from, because I notice you haven't bothered to show where or how what has been reported is in any way false or misleading. Wanna get around to that one of these days?

Thanks tazzy, I hope you're right. But to my reading of it, what you posted is about as clear as mud, as specifically defined in subparagraph (C)(iii), except as allowed in clauses (iv) and (vi) of section (D), and providing that the restriction mandated by subparagraph (F)(ii) does not apply.

The section i posted was in reference to two parts of the points the article referred too... as follows...

quote:

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."


Here, its speaking of optional coverage. Thats what the Secretary would be pricing. And its related to abortions, not to overall coverage.


quote:

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.



The Bi part i didnt catch earlier... here is that missing section...


10 (B) ABORTION SERVICES.—
11 (i) ABORTIONS FOR WHICH PUBLIC
12 FUNDING IS PROHIBITED.—The services
13 described in this clause are abortions for
14 which the expenditure of Federal funds ap15
propriated for the Department of Health
16 and Human Services is not permitted,
17 based on the law as in effect as of the date
18 that is 6 months before the beginning of
19 the plan year involved.
20 (ii) ABORTIONS FOR WHICH PUBLIC
21 FUNDING IS ALLOWED.—The services de22
scribed in this clause are abortions for
23 which the expenditure of Federal funds ap24
propriated for the Department of Health
25 and Human Services is permitted, based

In all honesty, Master... both these points fall under the section for abortions. In reading through it, it appears that the Secretary cannot circumvent laws. And what was posted by the article was misleading. The bill is here
