Update:   I just read the whole thing, as the say, and it appears to be more limited than I originally saw.  As most laws, it says one thing in the heading and then contradicts (further limits) itself below.  There is a yearly cost laid out and the restriction of health/natural disaster application is more or less specified.  I still think its unnecessary and overreaching and shouldn't be in there but I doubt Obama could actually use it for anything too nefarious.

Oh yeah, this bill was all about Healthcare, not the terrifying expansion of government power.
