Republicans question Obamacare’s $5 billion early retiree ‘slush fund’
Daily Caller, by Matthew Boyle


House Republicans are challenging a slush fund they recently discovered in Obamacare — a $5 billion bailout for states, corporations and unions, dubbed the Early Retiree Reinsurance Program (ERRP).

At a Friday hearing in Energy and Commerce’s Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, Republicans alleged the Obama administration is passing out that $5 billion in taxpayer money to labor unions and companies it favors, like General Electric and General Motors — instead of using it to help early retirees obtain health insurance.

Also, the administration is racing through the $5 billion much faster than it previously projected — it was supposed to last until 2014,
when no person will be denied coverage for a pre-existing condition. New statistics and projections, however, suggest it may run out before the end of 2012, and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced on Thursday they will no longer be accepting applications for subsidies after April 30. Between June 1, 2010, and Dec. 31, 2010, ERRP paid out $535 million, and during the first few months of 2011, ERRP has handed out another $1.3 bil

I heard that. When I heard this story I was furious. Had it not been for a FOI request from Fox News you'd have never known. And it wasn't an easy road to finally get the documents either. So much for Obama's open government.

I think that money needs to be paid back. For example GE paid no income taxes but got a big chunk of change out of this scam. Why should taxpayers fund early retirement anyway? Isn't the whole point of offering early retirement to save money anyway? Picking up any short term hardship on those who choose an early retirement is the responsibility of corporations & unions to work out themselves, not me & you involuntarily.

That's an interesting point. When this dolt started teaching, a complete moron could earn a teaching degree at a grade Z state college, it was easy to get a job, easy to get tenure and then just mail it in every day for 30 years. In other words..."teacher"==not very impressive at all, but you would still expect a basic level of common sense and intelligence.
That said...if you read a sampling of what this idiot has posted on these boards, one would reach the conclusion that he was a member of the custodial staff....except....as a custodian, he would actually have to do some real work and therefore, would not have survived.

Back on topic, this is a complete disgrace..but no surprise coming from this bum Sotero. His goal was to ruin this country as we know it.

'We have to pass the bill so you can see what's in it'

-Nancy Pelosi



Yes boys and girls, in case any of you missed this, Nancy Pelosi, in another one of her jaw-dropping, logic-defying, bimbo moments, actually declared,

"We have to pass the bill so you can see what's in it":

see it here


http://www.hyscience.com/archives/2010/ ... e_have.php



And these same people make their ignorant comments about Sarah Palin....I don't get it...I just don't understand the appeal of these idiots as to why the mind fu*ked liberals continue to vote people like Pelosi, Reid, Lee etc in again and again.

on top of voting for a community organizer who absolutely had NO background to offer. NONE!

perhaps chuck can answer that.

I mean since it's obvious he's not going to come even close to addressing the original topic of this thread.

Ever since Dumbo declared war in Libya, all the lefties have abandon the discussion board except for a few threads they cherry pick every so often

Just like their counter parts in Wisconsin and Indianapolis, if they know they are losers, the just run and hide.

The problem is that most of these idiots who voted for the very first time are so deep in denial they'll vote for this idiot again just to tell themselves they did the right thing. To them it's out of sight out of mind.

stupid people. It's we should ho back to allowing only land owners to vote.

6 Pages of Obamacare Equals 429 Pages of Regulations
US News, by Paul Bedard

Giving proof to Main Street's worries that President Obama's healthcare reform will lead to thousands of new and costly regulations, the Department of Health and Human Services has taken one small section of the law and written enough new rules to every page of Obama's campaign book, The Audacity of Hope—plus another 45 pages. [Check out a roundup of political cartoons on healthcare.]
Click here to find out more!

Section 3022 of the law, which is about the Medicare shared savings program, take up just six pages in the 907-page Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. But HHS has turned that into 429 pages of new regulations and that's too much, says Republican Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso, a practicing doctor.

"Regulations increase the cost of doing business," he says. He distributed a fact sheet on the book of regulations to fellow Republicans this week. [See photos of the Obamas behind the scenes.]

You can see for yourself what he's talking about. Here is the link to the actual law. Section 3022 is on pages 297-302.

The HHS regulations are here .

HHS weighs accepting men who have
sex with men as blood donors

The Hill [Washington, DC], by Rachel Leven


The Health and Human Services Department (HHS) is seeking comments on designing a pilot program to create “alternative donor deferral criteria” for gay men. Currently, men who have had sex with other men (MSM) since 1977 cannot donate blood due to “higher levels of certain transfusion-transmissible infections” among that population, the notice explains. Members of Congress’s interest and increased accuracy among donor testing have made the department reconsider the ban. “[T]he increased effectiveness of donor testing for [Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)], [Hepatitis B Virus (HBV)], syphilis and other infectious agents has greatly enhanced
