Topic: Reserve Corps

The hosts examine the creation of a "Ready Reserve Corps" under the Affordable Care Act, which they link to President Obama's earlier call for a civilian national security force. They discuss new federal frameworks that could allow Secret Service agents to arrest local sheriffs who refuse to enforce federal laws. The segment also highlights the "Epidemiological Intelligence Service" within the CDC.

The hosts examine specific sections of the U.S. healthcare bill that allow for the involuntary call to active duty of a "Ready Reserve Corps" during public health crises. They also critique the HealthReform.gov website for its lack of clear information and mention Paul Volcker's suggestion that a value-added tax (VAT) may be necessary to fund the government.
