If these changes are "mandated" then will people be denied health care if they are smokers? There could be emotional issues that need to be addressed. <br />Section 4 (f) and (g) gave me cold chills as I can see mandated vaccination required in the guise of "prevention" and the power in the hands of the Director of the Centers for Disease Control should be a concern for us all.

Nevertheless, the Council formed by this Executive Order will determine policy and provide coordination and leadership at the Federal level, and among all executive departments and agencies, with respect to prevention, wellness, and health promotion practices, the public health system, and integrative health care in the United States.<br /><br />One of the Council's duties is to determine the list of national priorities to address lifestyle behavior modification. I highly doubt that the President would have created this Council if his office did not expect to enact its recommendations. When these recommendations are enacted, they will then become mandates.The Moderatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17306614309403235490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33373264.post-33188521593823684882010-09-07T21:45:09.718-07:002010-09-07T21:45:09.718-07:00I don't see a mandate here.

Banning all herbal remedies and vitamins is a far cry from what this order says, and would actually and obviously defeat the purpose of this order.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
