re: #422 Walter L. Newton

It doesn’t out right state that you go to the Federal Health Care Corp for all your services. I should have clarified that the way this agency is set up in the proposal, it appears to me that it will eventually become the place to go for any Federally funded health care.

‘‘Subpart XII—Public Health Workforce
15 ‘‘SEC. 340L. PUBLIC HEALTH WORKFORCE CORPS.
16 ‘‘(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—There is established, within
17 the Service, the Public Health Workforce Corps (in this
18 subpart referred to as the ‘Corps’), for the purpose of en19
suring an adequate supply of public health professionals
20 throughout the Nation. The Corps shall consist of—
21 ‘‘(1) such officers of the Regular and Reserve
22 Corps of the Service as the Secretary may designate;
23 and
24 ‘‘(2) such civilian employees of the United
25 States as the Secretary may appoint.

As you can see above, this is a complete health care industry being set up by the federal government. Private health care will be push right out of business.
