DEAL WATCH: Deal-a-Palooza
If you were outraged by the backroom deals included in the previous versions of the Democrats’ government takeover of healthcare, you better sit down because the deals are back. Code Red found that many of those deals are still included in the latest machination of Obama and Pelosi’s healthcare bill.
The special deals can be discovered by looking at what is not discussed in the Democrats’ “new” bill, which for the sake of House procedure is called “an amendment in the nature of a substitute.” The bill will make changes to the bill passed by the Senate in December. Whatever the Democrats’ “new” bill doesn’t change will become law.
Remember the “Louisiana Purchase”? It’s still in there, because the Democrats’ “new” bill doesn’t remove Section 2006 of HR 3590, the Senate-passed healthcare-takeover bill. You can read more about the “Louisiana Purchase” here.
How about the special funding for a local hospital in Connecticut? Still there, because the Democrats’ “new” bill doesn’t remove Section 10502 of HR 3590. You can read more about the deal for a hospital in Connecticut here.
$1 billion for New Jersey Drug Companies? It’s in there, because the Democrats’ “new” bill doesn’t remove Section 9023 of HR 3590. You can read more about the deal for New Jersey here.
While you likely won’t be exempt from the Democrats’ new taxes on health plans, longshoremen will be under the Democrats’ “new” bill because it doesn’t remove Section 1401 of HR 3590. You can read more about the deal for longshoremen here.
Union healthcare plans stand to gain $5 billion because the Democrats’ “new” bill doesn’t remove Section 1102 of HR 3590. You can read more about the deal for union health plans here.
Montana coal miners get special treatment because the Democrats’ “new” bill doesn’t remove Section 10323 of HR 3590. You can read more about the deal for Montana coal miners here.
North Dakota Medicare providers stand to receive higher payments than providers in other states because the Democrats’ “new” bill doesn’t remove Section 10324 of HR 3590. You can read more about the deal for North Dakota Medicare providers here.
