SECRETARY SEBELIUS CONTINUES TO VIOLATE CONGRESS
(Mr. BURGESS asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, last month, it was learned that the
Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius, has been
calling executives from private groups asking them to fund the
Affordable Care Act by donating money to a private organization called
Enroll America. Her actions then were questionable and have left us to
wonder what the Secretary is promising executives in exchange for their
support.
Last Tuesday, Secretary Sebelius disclosed that she solicited three
additional companies, all of which provide services regulated by her
agency: a drug maker, Johnson & Johnson; a health care system,
Ascension Health; and a health insurance provider, Kaiser Permanente.
And so it begs the question: How far will this administration go to
promote their flawed takeover of the country's health care?
Agencies that have already been engrossed in scandal, like the IRS,
will be directly administering major provisions of the Affordable Care
Act. Along with them, the Department of Homeland Security, the
Department of Labor, and the Treasury, these agencies will be involved
in sharing and tracking consumer information to implement the
President's law.
Do you really want to entrust this administration with the
responsibility of controlling your health care and controlling your
health care information?
