>Senator Loretta Weinberg : NJ Obamacare Vote on MONDAY
The full NJ Senate is scheduled to vote MONDAY to create the “New Jersey Health Care Reform Implementation Council” — the state agency which would implement Obamacare in New Jersey (S-2239). Read the Bill Read the Amendment which adds members including SEIU The bill is not yet posted on Mondays’ schedule, but we understand that leadership will post it for a vote, nonetheless.
S-2239 was sponsored by Senator Loretta Weinberg, Bergen County Democrat. It is co-sponsored by Ronald Rice, a Newark Democrat. It buys votes for the Democrats and moves us toward socialism. This bill would name 29 representatives of organizations (nominated by the organizations, mostly unions, including SEIU), for appointment by the governor. These people would form the “Health Care Reform Implementation Council” and would have broad authority to “plan for and coordinate the implementation of health care reform in NJ pursuant to Obamacare.” The council would “determine the decisions that are required to be made to effectuate the purposes of … federal health care reform,” and would take office and be empowered immediately after passage. WE DO NOT WANT THIS TO BECOME LAW!!
