File this under "Dear Leader" syndrome…
President Obama took one step further away from the traditional role of a US President, and one step towards "Dear Leader", dictatorial status, when he signed the following Executive Order on June 10, 2010.
Under the authority of the unconstitutional "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" of March 23, 2010 (aka "Obamacare"), this order establishes the "National Prevention, Health Promotion, and Public Health Council". No budget, no benefits, and no rights are directly involved, so no Congressional involement is required either.
Yeah, right. No problem.
I’m sure the Whitehouse was waiting for a credible crisis to occur before releasing this order. I guess that was this week.
This looks like a passive, semi-stealthy, advanced party setup for a future "National Healthcare Personal Benefits Evaluation" process (my name) – a program that I’m sure Progressive Healthcare authors deem to be necessary, as a foundation, once their widespread National Healthcare goes into effect in a few years, if not repealed first.
It smacks of "let us take care of you, little, helpless people, for we are smart, and know better what you need to be healthy". The audacity of this administration never ceases to amaze me.
