Why would a private doctor be moonlighting as a reviewer for insurance claims in the first place? Nothing about this smells right, or even professional.

doctors contract for sessional payments from various entities, ER, Insurers, hospitals, its the way the profession works

From the looks of it they have chaired several commities and Im sure this is more for the resume then the patient.

well of course, goes without saying, if you want to progress you have to be seen

EPIC - Trey Gowdy gets a standing ovation on House Floor - 'We Make Law!' - YouTube

[talaniman]

Didn't know Youtube had a winger channel, and it was a nice speech but he should have added that the WE in WE MAKE LAW is in concert with the other branches of government, as well as the rest of the house. Its in the constitution, hollering aside, and ovations notwithstanding.

He was correct in pointing out the favorability of the congress is lower than roach poop. That's not just the liberals fault either!

[tomder55]

WE in WE MAKE LAW is in concert with the other branches of government

You are joking right ? Read article 1 .... Congress Makes laws . No other branch of government does .

[tomder55]

I figured it out . The libs really think it's in the emperor's constitutional powers to make laws .

[talaniman]

The president has to sign or veto it, and the congress must VOTE to override in circumstance of a veto, and Scotus is the final arbiter of constitutionality on ANY law the congress makes that's challenged.

Like I said "in concert". That's the concept of checks AND balances.

The libs really think it's in the emperor's constitutional powers to make laws .

When the congress fails to act, then the president can step up and failure of the congress to act is an obvious fact at this time, while you are hollering loud and doing NOTHING!!

[tomder55]

irrelevant to Gowdy's point . The laws the emperor changes are already signed into law and in the case of Obamacare ,SCOTUS has already ,albeit mistakenly ,has affirmed it's constitutionality . Still the emperor thinks he can change the law on a whim .

[talaniman]

You failed to vote him out and Mitt in, so guess who has the discretion of implementation. Don't blame YOUR failure on the guy who won. But you will and have been doing just that.

[tomder55]

Gowdy concede the discretion . That again does not address his point that the emperor has no power to change laws.

[talaniman]

Saying it's so doesn't make it so. We have to wait on the SCOTUS ruling on that. Till then, its an opinion. Gowdy is a lawyer and former prosecutor and he knows that.

They should have stayed seated and reviewed the facts (Executive Orders).

GW Bush Executive Orders: 291

Obama Executive Orders: 168

And: "In an article published on April 30, 2006, the (Boston)Globe wrote that “President Bush has quietly claimed the authority to disobey more than 750 laws enacted since he took office.” In a clarification issued May 4, 2006, the Globe note that Bush had not really challenged 750 bills (which would have implied 750 signing statements), but “has claimed the authority to bypass more than 750 statutes, which were provisions contained in about 125 bills.” (Presidential Signing Statements )

[tomder55]

This was not a matter of signing statements . This is an issue of the emperor making significant changes that's contrary to statutory language in the ACA.

[paraclete]

i don't understand your complaint according to you the legislation exists by fiat, how then can it not be altered by fiat?

[talaniman]

You know very well Tom I posted several links citing the provisions of the law that allow the HHS secretary to make changes during the implementation, so whose fault is it you never bothered to read them?

Can We Learn From ACA Implementation and Improve the Law? | The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation

HHS will also have the ability to make changes through administrative authority, waivers, and new regulations.

http://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R41664.pdf

For many of ACA's most significant reform provisions, the HHS Secretary and other federal officials are required to take certain actions, such as issuing regulations or interim final rules, by a specific date. As already noted, many of the key components of market reform and coverage expansion do not take effect
until 2014. Implementing some parts of the law will entail extensive rulemaking and other actions
by federal agencies; other changes will be largely self-executing, pursuant to the new statutory
requirements. ACA also creates a variety of new commissions and advisory bodies, some with
substantial decision-making authority (e.g., IPAB).

As noted before even the congress could make changes if they had their act together.




You could read it for yourself before you start hollering AGAIN. Facts do matter over perception and spin.
