Sisney H.O.U.S.E. (Home Oriented Unique Schooling Experience): New Health Care Program Includes FORCED Home Visits????

If the following article is true, then the American Public is certainly going to all sense of "privacy"...

Now, snopes.com reports this article (and others like it are not true), but I can't help wondering...The above article talks about a new Federal program, Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting for "at risk families". Isn't that what existing programs such as WADI (in our area) do?

According to snopes, the new Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act will define the following "at risk":
1. Low income eligible families
2. Eligible families who are pregnant women not yet 21 years old
3. Eligible families who have a history of child abuse or neglect, and have had interactions with child welfare services
4. Eligible families who have a history of substance abuse or need substance abuse treatment
5. Eligible families who have tobacco users in the home
6. Eligible families who are or have students with low-achievement
7. Eligible families who have developmental delays or disabilities
8. Eligible families who, or have individuals in them who, are serving in the military (including those who have formerly served), including families who have had multiple deployments outside the U.S.A.

If I read this correctly, they have worded it where they have pretty much included everyone, especially in today's economy.

As far as the tobacco issue, if the government would step up and just OUTLAW the sale and use of tobacco products in this country, instead of targeting smokers as if they are criminals (and no I do not smoke), I could see targeting smokers in this. But since smoking is still LEGAL in the U.S., they should NOT be included in this.

Here is the link to the snopes.com information:

The PPACA defines high-risk households as:

Low-income eligible families.
Eligible families who are pregnant women who have not attained age 21.
Eligible families that have a history of child abuse or neglect or have had interactions with child welfare services.
Eligible families that have a history of substance abuse or need substance abuse treatment.
Eligible families that have users of tobacco products in the home.
Eligible families that are or have children with low student achievement.
Eligible families with children with developmental delays or disabilities.
Eligible families who, or that include individuals who, are serving or formerly served in the Armed Forces, including such families that have members of the Armed Forces who have had multiple deployments outside of the United States.
