Office of Personnel and Management and You
Fox News:
Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid of Obama's Latest Big Brother Plan
By Bradley Blakeman
What is the Office of Personnel and Management and why should you care?
The Office of Personnel Management, (OPM), is suppose to be an independent government agency that is charged with managing the civil service system of the federal government. If you are a federal employee then civil service laws, rules and regulations that are managed by OPM govern you. One of the main charges of OPM is to administer and oversee federal health care provided to all federal employees.
The Director of OPM is appointed directly by the president and confirmed by the Democratically controlled Senate. The current director of OPM is a fellow by the name of John Berry who, before becoming OPM director this past year, was director of the Smithsonian’s National Zoo. -- You cannot make this stuff up.
Under the Democrats' national health care scheme not only would OPM be charged with overseeing and administering federal employees health care but they will have the added charge of administering civilian federal health care as well. What does that mean? Basically, that Americans will be treated as “civil servants.” Are you starting to see the danger?

There IS something left in the bill...
Even if there is no public option that is passed, there is plenty left that could affect the lives of Americans...the bill would introduce new regulations for health insurance companies. Some of these provisions would require all insurers to cover persons with preexisting conditions, for example. I am not really an expert on this bill, but I wonder whether the recent standoff over whether mammograms and abortions would be covered under the public option would also extend to private health insurance companies? I don't know enough about the bill to answer this, but I am deeply suspicious of regulation, especially if it is buried in thousands of pages of a bill that is being constantly revised.
