Obama's White House Behind "Perpetuity" Clauses in Nazi Health Bill
clyde61
December 29, 2009 (LPAC)—President Obama and his top aides were
directly involved in drafting the clauses in the Senate health bill
which attempt to prohibit any future Congress from ever altering the
Nazi "T-4" cost-cutting policies emitting from the Independent
Medicare Advisory Board.
As EIR's investigations have revealed, the secret clauses were
inserted into the Senate bill during secret negotiations that took
place behind closed doors in Harry Reid's office between October 14
(the day after the Senate Finance Committee approved its version of
the health bill), and October 26, when it was announced that
negotiations had concluded. The Reid bill was filed in the Senate on
November 19, at the point where Reid was certain he was close to
having 60 voters to overcome a Republican filibuster.
On October 13, the Senate Democratic website announced that "senior
White House officials" would be joining Senators Dodd, Baucus, and
Reid in an effort to merge the bills coming out of the Senate Health,
Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee headed by Chris Dodd,
and the Senate Finance Committee headed by Max Baucus. The next day,
it was reported that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, OMB
Director Peter Orszag, Health "czar" Nancy-Ann DeParle, and HHS
Secretary Kathleen Sebelius were seated at the conference table in
Reid's office along with the three Senators.
On Sunday, Oct. 18, the Washington Post ran a story entitled "Small
Group Now Leads Closed Negotiations on Health-Care Bill," noting that
despite Obama's campaign promises to conduct negotiations on health-
care reform legislation in an open, transparent manner—even televised
on C-SPAN—three Senators and top White House officials were meeting
behind closed doors to hammer out the final Senate bill. The Post
noted that the White House team was being led by Rahm Emanuel, and it
said that the tie-breaking votes would be cast by Reid and by Emanuel,
the latter acting on Obama's behalf.
According to various accounts, this group met continuously up until
Oct. 26. The Reid bill was first made public on Nov. 19, with many
Senators, Democrats included, complaining that they were in the dark
over the revised bill.
While the news media and commentators fixated on the so-called "public
option," buried in the Reid bill was one of the most sinister
provisions ever written into Congressional legislation: clauses
asserting that the provisions concerning IMAB and its Nazi policies
could never be changed by a future Senate or House of Representatives.
Exemplary is a clause, part of Section 3403 creating the IMAB, that
reads: "It shall not be in order in the Senate or the House of
Representatives to consider any bill, resolution, amendment, or
conference report that would repeal or otherwise change this
subsection." (Subsection (d)(3)(C)). Immediately preceding this, are
two clauses stating that "It shall not be in order in the Senate or
the House of Representatives to consider any bill, resolution, or
amendment" that would repeal or change the IMAB legislation or an IMAB
recommendation unless it meets the genocidal, cost-cutting criteria
specified earlier in the bill. And any waiver of this requires a three-
fifths vote of the full Senate. Who stuck this in?
As EIR's investigation has shown, these "perpetuity" clauses were not
in the IMAB section as voted out of the Senate Finance Committee,
although most of the language in the IMAB section in Reid's bill was
taken, often word-for-word, from the Baucus bill. The fingerprints of
Obama, Emanual and Orszag are all over this unconstitutional, fascist
provision. From the outset, Obama was promoting an expanded version of
the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC), what Obama called
"MedPAC on steroids," as a means of slashing medical costs, or
"bending the cost curve" as he repeatedly put it. Obama suggested this
be modeled on the BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure) Commission,
whose recommendations cannot be altered, only voted up or down by a
joint resolution of Congress.
In June, Orszag himself drafted legislation to create an Independent
Medicare Advisory Commission (IMAC). On July 17, he sent his draft to
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, along with a cover letter stating that
either his version, or the approach being put forward by Sen.
Rockefeller to expand MedPAC and make it an independent agency
empowered to "improve efficiency and performance throughout the
Medicare system," would be acceptable. A senior Congressional source
later told EIR that Emanuel and Orszag were hammering top House
leaders and insisting that the IMAC issue was the only non-negotiable
issue in the entire health bill, as far as the White House was
concerned.
Going into the Reid secret negotiations, the Senate HELP bill had no
IMAC/IMAB provision, (nor did the House bill), and the Baucus bill had
an IMAB section which was said to have closely followed the White
House's demands. But obviously it was still not enough for Emanuel,
Orszag & Co. What emerged from the secret conclave in Reid's office,
is a moral and constitutional affront to our Republic and the American
people.
Briefed on the EIR investigation-to-date, Lyndon LaRouche observed
that the "in perpetuity" language conformed to "what I've observed in
Rahm Emanuel's method of speaking. Only an impassioned illiterate
would insert such an obvious British formula. It read more like a text
that was dictated, than something composed. The illiteracy of the text
suggested that Rahm Emanuel played a decisive role. I came to that
conclusion, based on profile, even before the evidence was assembled."
LaRouche denounced the Senate formula as "worse than Hitler. Hitler
only sought a dictatorship for life."

Lack of enthusiasm has NEVER been a problem for you anti-government types.
Your problem is that you lack respect from mainstream Americans
