RE: Section 2713 of the Affordable Care Act

[Guest guest]

,My understanding is that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act opens the door for HHS to mandate whatever it wants, and this is what the HHS has just done with coverage for Abortifacients, sterilization and contraception.

This law gives the Administration wide ranging power. The law, however, may not withstand the constitutional challenges and it will be very hard if not impossible for the government (for us) to pay for the Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security Programs within a few years. 

A summary of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act reads:

To authorize the HHS Secretary to modify coverage of any Medicare-covered preventive

service to be consistent with U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommendations.Fr.

Thank you Father but what I am trying to point out (albeit clumsily) is that there are NO USPTF recommendations regarding contraception, sterilization and abortion -- just things like mammograms and paps, etc. are listed. If you enter "oral contraceptives" on search page of USPTF no recommendations result.

Precisely , the Administration does not want to say this, but they inshrined the authority to mandate " preventive care " with the idea of later on adding whatever they wish to the list of preventive care. Everyone thinks mammograms are fine; many would have objected to the law if sterilizations had been included under " preventive care " , thus they did not spell out their intentions. After the law was passed (shortly after) they mandated abortifacients, sterlization and contraceptives as " preventive. " This is deceptive, dishonest and unjust.

Overall the obamacare law is an empty shell.

The rules can be filled in and made up by bureacrats as they go along, and changed frequently at their whim.

In this way, democracy is done in and replaced with dictatorship.

Obama himself has demonstrated this for all to see.

First he makes a rule that catholics must pay for contraception.

There was an outcry.

Two weeks later he changes the rule.

Still unacceptable.

But the law enables him to make up his own rules whenever he wants, and change them as quickly as him wants.

In democracy, we supposedly have a rule of law.

This comes down from Hamurabi, thousands of years BC

The alternative to rule of law is dictatorship.

In dictatorship, the law is whatever the dictator says it is, and can change from day to day.

And if it can change day to day, or week to week, there is no law, as we understand it.

It is merely the current whim of the dictator.
