  2. ACORN provision in health bill?

    Did you all see that there may have been another side deal cut this past weekend in the Senate health care legislation – and this one could involve ACORN. The Weekly Standard reports that Senator Roland Burris (D-IL) had language added to the Senate Manager’s Amendment that could provide ACORN federal health care funds.

    According to page 241 of the amendment:

    In carrying out this subsection, the Secretary, acting through the Deputy Assistant Secretary, shall award grants, contracts, enter into memoranda of understanding, cooperative, interagency, intra-agency and other agreements with public and nonprofit private entities, agencies, as well as Departmental and Cabinet agencies and organizations, and with organizations that are indigenous human resource providers in communities of color to assure improved health status of racial and ethnic minorities, and shall develop measures to evaluate the effectiveness of activities aimed at reducing health disparities and supporting the local community. Such measures shall evaluate community outreach activities, language services, workforce cultural competence, and other areas as determined by the Secretary.’’ (see full text of Manager’s Amendment here: http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/Reid_bill_language.pdf )

    The Weekly Standard reports: “According to a Senate legislative aide, the scandal-plagued Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now could qualify for grants under this provision. ACORN would also qualify for funding on page 150 of the underlying Reid bill, which says that “community and consumer-focused nonprofit groups” may receive grants to “conduct public education activities to raise awareness of the availability of qualified health plans” (see http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/TWSFPView.asp) .
