What is it? "Independent Payments Advisory Board"?? Read on!

Obamacare is unconstitutional and any thinking person can see that.  But lets be specific and go after one feature:
The following is "Reprinted by permission from Imprimis, a publication of Hillsdale College."

The fattest target is the Independent Payments Advisory Board (IPAB), which is unconstitutional on its face.  IPAB consists of 15 members who are not elected by the people but appointed by the president.  Their job is to make recommendations to limit Medicare's budget by reducing reimbursements to doctors.  Unless both houses of Congress overrule IPAB by passing their own equal or greater cuts to Medicare, IPAB's proposals automatically become law.  What's worse, Obamacare conspires to make IPAB permanent by mandating that no resolution to repeal it can be introduced before January 1, or after February 1, 2017.  In other words, the Constitution would be operational for one month only--and even then the repeal must pass by August 15, 2017, in order to be valid, and it could not take effect until 2020!

This information is very distressing to those of us who know it.  But more distressing is the fact that most of our elected ones DON'T KNOW IT EITHER!
