Obama's the One Who Needs A Reality Check

Racked with guilt, I already turned myself in.

Very scary stuff... Have you ever noticed Obama's "swagger"? The righteous walk!? I think it's very telling. He pushes things that are unpopular because HE knows better than the rest of the people (some day we will understand) and it's ok if he "misrepresents" or perhaps outright "lies" about "the bag of goods" because it's for the good of the people and we just don't quite get it yet...

Check out this article on the Obamaplan:

"Doctors and hospitals not adhering to guidelines will face penalties."

E) An explanation by the practitioner of the continuum of
end-of-life services and supports available, including palliative care
and hospice, and benefits for such services and supports that are
available under this title.

(F) (i) Subject to clause (ii), an explanation of orders regarding
life sustaining treatment or similar orders, which shall include—

‘‘(I) the reasons why the development of such an order is
beneficial to the individual and the individual’s family and the
reasons why such an order should be updated periodically as the health
of the individual changes;

‘‘(II) the information needed for an individual or legal
surrogate to make informed decisions regarding the completion of such
an order; and

‘‘(III) the identification of resources that an individual may
use to determine the requirements of the State in which such
individual resides so that the treatment wishes of that individual
will be carried out if the individual is unable to communicate those
wishes, including requirements regarding the designation of a
surrogate decisionmaker (also known as a healthcare proxy).

THE ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE OBAMACARE

Written by Dr. Dave Janda

Thursday, 23 July 2009

As a physician who has authored books on preventative health care, I
was given the opportunity to be the keynote speaker at a Congressional
Dinner at The Capitol Building in Washington last Friday (7/17).

The presentation was entitled Health Care Reform, The Power & Profit
of Prevention, and I was gratified that it was well received.

In preparation for the presentation, I read the latest version of
"reform" as authored by The Obama Administration and supported by
Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid. Here is the link to the 1,018 page
document:
http://edlabor.house.gov/documents/111/pdf/publications/AAHCA-BillText-071409.pdf

Let me summarize just a few salient points of the above plan. First,
however, it should be clear that the same warning notice must be
placed on The ObamaCare Plan as on a pack of cigarettes: Consuming
this product will be hazardous to your health.

The underlying method of cutting costs throughout the plan is based on
rationing and denying care. There is no focus on preventing health
care need whatever. The plan's method is the most inhumane and
unethical approach to cutting costs I can imagine as a physician.

The rationing of care is implemented through The National Health Care
Board, according to the plan. This illustrious Board "will approve or
reject treatment for patients based on the cost per treatment divided
by the number of years the patient will benefit from the treatment."

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 coffin.

Oh, you say this could never happen? Sorry.... this is the same model
they use in Britain.

The plan mandates that there will be little or no advanced treatments
to be available in the future. It creates The Federal Coordinating
Council For Comparative Effectiveness Research, the purpose of which
is "to slow the development of new medications and technologies in
order to reduce costs." Yes, this is to be the law.

The plan also outlines that doctors and hospitals will be overseen and
reviewed by The National Coordinator For Health Information and
Technology.

This " coordinator" will "monitor treatments being delivered to make
sure doctors and hospitals are strictly following government
guidelines that are deemed appropriate." It goes on to
say....."Doctors and hospitals not adhering to guidelines will face
penalties."

According to those in Congress, penalties could include large six
figure financial fines and possible imprisonment.

So according to The ObamaCare Plan....if your doctor saves your life
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.

Section 102 has the Orwellian title, "Protecting the Choice to Keep
Current Coverage." What this section really mandates is that it is
illegal to keep your private insurance if your status changes - e.g.,
if you lose or change your job, retire from your job and become a
senior, graduate from college and get your first job. Yes, illegal.

When Mr. Obama hosted a conference call with bloggers urging them to
pressure Congress to pass his health plan as soon as possible, a
blogger from Maine referenced an Investors Business Daily article that
claimed Section 102 of the House health legislation would outlaw
private insurance.

He asked: "Is this true? Will people be able to keep their insurance
and will insurers be able to write new policies even though H.R. 3200
is passed?" Mr. Obama replied: "You know, I have to say that I am not
familiar with the provision you are talking about."

Then there is Section 1233 of The ObamaCare Plan, devoted to
"Advanced Care Planning." After each American turns 65 years of age
they have to go to a mandated counseling program that is designed to
end life sooner.

This session is to occur every 5 years unless the person has developed
a chronic illness then it must be done every year. The topics in this
session will include, "how to decline hydration, nutrition and how to
initiate hospice care." It is no wonder The Obama Administration does
not like my emphasis on Prevention. For Mr. Obama, prevention is the
"enemy" as people would live longer.

I rest my case. The ObamaCare Plan is hazardous to the health of every American.

After I finished my Capitol Hill presentation, I was asked by a
Congressman in the question-answer session: "I'll be doing a number
of network interviews on the Obama Health Care Plan. If I am asked
what is the one word to describe the plan what should I answer."

The answer is simple, honest, direct, analytical, sad but truthful. I
told him that one word is FASCIST.

Then I added, "I hope you'll have the courage to use that word,
Congressman. No other word is more appropriate."
