Obama Administration Continues Spending Taxpayer Money Authorized by a Law Declared Unconstitutional [/B]
[release]A federal judge in Florida recently ruled that the entire health care law is unconstitutional – a ruling Judge Roger Vinson described as “the functional equivalent of an injunction.” But that hasn't stopped the Obama administration from spending hundreds of millions of dollars authorized by the disputed law.
On Wednesday, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced a $750 million investment in prevention and public health -- funded through the Prevention and Public Health Fund, which was created by the new health care law.
The $750 million builds on a $500 million investment last year, she noted.
Sebelius said the new taxpayer dollars "will help prevent tobacco use, obesity, heart disease, stroke, and cancer; increase immunizations; and empower individuals and communities with tools and resources for local prevention and health initiatives."
“Prevention is something that can’t just happen in a doctor’s office, Sebelius said in a news release. “If we are to address the big health issues of our time, from physical inactivity to poor nutrition to tobacco use, it needs to happen in local communities,” she said.
White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs told CNSNews.com on Feb. 7 that the administration would "rightly" continue to implement the Democrats' health care law even though the federal judge who sided with 26 states in declaring it unconstitutional said that his ruling was “the functional equivalent of an injunction” against the law.
According to HHS, the Prevention and Public Health Fund, created by the Democrats’ health care law, is designed to “provide states and communities the resources they need to promote healthy living,” among other things.
The $750-million infusion announced on Wednesday will expand “four critical priorities,” as follows:
-- Community Prevention: $298 million will be used to help promote health and wellness in local communities, including efforts to prevent and reduce tobacco use; improve nutrition and increase physical activity to prevent obesity; and coordinate and focus efforts to prevent chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.
-- Clinical Prevention: $182 million will be used to improve access to preventive care, including increasing awareness of the new prevention benefits provided under the new health care law. The money also will be used to increase the availability and use of immunizations, and help integrate behavioral health services into primary care settings.
-- Public Health Infrastructure: $137 million will help state and local health departments “meet 21st century challenges,” including investments in information technology and training for the public health workforce to enable detection and response to infectious disease outbreaks and other health threats.
-- Research and Tracking: $133 million will be used to collect data to monitor the impact of the Affordable Care Act on the health of Americans and “identify and disseminate evidence-based recommendations on important public health challenges.” [/release]

Trump is on the front page multiple times lol, who would possibly care what he has to say about anything?
Also I struggle to think how someone could be against what that money's being spent on
Strange how it fails to mention that something like 12 other federal judges have ruled that it is constitutional. But Glaber would never post an illegitimate news source that affirms his preconceptions. I'm sure it's just an oversight.

How can we, as intelligent, moral individuals, allow this travesty to continue. I propose a bill making the first amendment unconstitutional. I have already found a judge willing to be bought/to agree with me
[QUOTE=Glaber;27984022][release]But that hasn't stopped the Obama administration from spending hundreds of millions of dollars authorized by the disputed law.
[/release][/QUOTE]
Yeah, disputed by judges and other people who don't have the authority to deem it officially unconstitutional.

Do throw outs count? I though the score was 2-2 with the latest ruling being against the whole thing. Hey, If it takes the Supreme court to decided this, why not take the case to them right now?

Because we have a legal system and it needs to go to an appellate court first.
It's funny cause all I'm doing is repeating stuff I learned from the Obama/O'Reilly interview. I'm surprised you didn't watch it, it was on Fox and everything.
I lost access to Fox News' TV channel months ago when I got downgraded to basic cable.
However, I have been listening to Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and have just recently started listening to Glenn Beck's radio show. Each of which can be listened to online with Mark's being available for download for free.

I don't have cable at all. I watched it online.
Seriously, the president of the United States sitting down for an interview with a station with an opposing viewpoint? How can you be interested in politics and not want to watch that? If George W. Bush had done an interview with MSNBC I'd sure have hell have wanted to watch it.

Oh shit not the playbook.

Oh wow.
It's like creating a whole separate section of a business that is designed to destroy your own business. How does that even work?
Doesn't matter, the Healthcare Bill is an utter failure in my opinion.

Glaber's not about to do anything that might broaden the horizons of his mind even the least bit. He's said this himself, he's "24 now and it's about time to settle on things" in his mind....
:downs:
if i wake up one day and i find i haven't changed anything since yesterday that's the day when it's time to give up
