Beohner threatened the Dems for their bold move "sooner than you think", but given the info in this article they may get it back in spades empty threats writing checks his butt can't cash when will they learn, never i hope.The ending of the filibuster in the Senate will do far more than speed President Obama’s judicial appointments. It could also help him rescue his stumbling, bug-ridden health care reforms.Filibuster reform will allow Obama to use appointments to push through his second-term priorities. That includes implementing one of the most controversial provisions of the embattled Obamacare.By eliminating the filibuster for executive and non-Supreme Court judicial nominees, President Obama now has wide latitude to appoint a raft of senior health care officials to carry out his law – and to fire officials who presided over the rollout disaster or who are hindering its successful implementation.The most controversial move the president could make is to appoint members of the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), a controversial panel set up by the Affordable Care Act to rein in Medicare costs by cutting payments to doctors if Medicare spending grows too quickly.
we have heard an will hear republicans whining about stacking courts like Clinton said "takes a ot of brass to accuse someone of what you do" SCOTUS ring any bells?
looking at these things he will now be able to do put in perspective these are the things the republicans were blocking denying you a complete gov't.
Members of both parties have criticized the board for giving too much authority to unelected officials because Congress has little power to stop its recommendations from taking effect. The board’s proponents say that is the point. It will take cost-cutting decisions out of the hands of politicians who don’t have the appetite for taking tough spending decisions.Right now, Medicare costs are not rising at a rate that would trigger IPAB action, and the president also may not want to open a second front in the battle over Obamacare by making appointments before the 2014 midterm elections.But he will have to make the appointments eventually, as the IPAB is key to reforming the costs of health care as a whole.“IPAB is part of the Affordable Care Act’s commitment to assuring all Americans quality care at lower cost,” Judith Feder, a health care expert at Georgetown University, told Congress in 2011 .
and there is the trigger for the right wing opposition it looks out for "we the people" and not rich ins. co.'s, and we know how they like to seize on a grain of salt to create a problem that only they see, they are against good gov't and "we the people" need any more proof then the last 5 years and tonight's newscast any channel?
