1st Stimulus Part 1 of Health Care!
It is important to realize that The Obama Health Care Plan is comprised of two parts ... that's right,not one but two parts.
The first part of The Obama Health Care Plan was buried in The Stimulus Bill which was signed into law by the President in February
(http://www.readthestimulus.org/)
The underlying method of cutting costs throughout the plan is based on rationing and denying care, NOT PREVENTING health care need. The plan's method is the most inhumane and unethical approach in cutting costs. The rationing of care is implemented through a Council,equivalent to the National Health Care Board in the British Health Care System. The name given to this panel is The Federal
Coordinating Council For Comparative Effectiveness Research
("Federal Council"). (Section 9201 H.R. 1 Version of the Stimulus
Bill.)
President Obama has already appointed the fifteen member Federal
Council. According to the Stimulus Bill, p. 152, all members of the
Council must be "senior federal officers or employees." Thus,
medical treatment will be dispensed by a group of bureaucrats from
their ivory towers, not by the hands-on practitioners in the
presence of the patients. The council was funded with $1.1 BILLION
from The Stimulus Bill.

"Comparative Effectiveness Research" is based on the formula of the approval or rejection of treatment for patients based upon the cost per treatment divided by the number of years the patient will benefit from the treatment.
According to former New York Lieutenant Governor and Health Policy Analyst Dr. Betsy McCaughey, the Federal Council will set a cost effectiveness standard for treatment. (Stimulus Bill p. 464)
Translation.... if you are over 65 or have been recently diagnosed as having an advanced form of cardiac disease or aggressive cancer,dream on if you think you will get treated..... pick out your box.
Oh, you say... this could never happen. Sorry.... this is the same model they use in Britain.
The plan also empowers the Federal Council to create another level of bureaucracy, The Center for Comparative Effectiveness Research.
The effect of this extra level of bureaucracy is to slow the development of new medications and technologies in order to reduce costs. How special is that!
The plan also outlines that doctors and hospitals will be overseen and reviewed by The National Coordinator of Health Information Technology. This "Coordinator" will be responsible for monitoring treatments to make sure doctors and hospitals are strictly following what the government deems appropriate and cost effective, and to "guide medical decisions at the time and place of care." (Stimulus
Bill, p. 116; see also pp. 442, 446).
The Stimulus Bill goes on to say that hospitals and doctors that are NOT "meaningful users" of the new systems will face penalties. The Secretary of Health and Human Services will be empowered to impose "more stringent measures of meaningful use over time." (Stimulus Bill pp. 366, 478, 511, 518, 540, 541.) According to those in
Congress, penalties could include large six figure financial fines and possible imprisonment. According to the Obama Plan, if your doctor saves your life but breaks government protocol, you might have to go to the prison to see your doctor for follow-up appointments. I believe this is the same model Stalin used in the former Soviet Union.
I find this Amazing,the stimulus(1) which was sold as being
all about JOB'S and keeping unemployment below 8%(now @ 10.2%) was instead about health care!
How sneaky is this? A deception of monumental proportion!
No wonder it wasn't posted online for 5 days along with
no time to read it before signing.
Now the exact same tactic is being used by Congress
for part 2!
Pelosi's 72 hour promise went up in smoke.
There's no rush no excuse,no spin in the world
to justify governing in this manner.
