Presto, You’re Dead.
Much like a corpse in the summer sun, the Barack Obama “Stimulus Bill” is starting to smell more and more rotten as it sits in the light of the day. All last week and the beginning of this one, it was impressed upon us by PresBO that this bill must be passed NOW! If we don’t, the world will collapse. Horsecrap as usual from a democrat mouth. Now we are beginning to find out why…
Turns out that the longer this bill is exposed to the American public, the more socialist garbage we find stuffed inside. Now it is being reported that there is to be a federal system to oversee your doctor and to “guide” him or her how to best treat you. Uh, last I checked, my representative IS a doctor and voted no on this bill.
A quote taken from Bloomberg news article dated Feb 9th by Betsy McCaughey:
…National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective. The goal is to reduce costs and “guide” your doctor’s decisions (442, 446). These provisions in the stimulus bill are virtually identical to what Daschle prescribed in his 2008 book, “Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis.” According to Daschle, doctors have to give up autonomy and “learn to operate less like solo practitioners.”…
I am imagining a system whereby some mid-level, minimally qualified govermnment union worker sits at a desk in an overpriced building under the buzz of the sterile, mind-numbing energy saving light bulbs with a big manual of spreadsheets. It will be his or her job to look at what you have had done recently, how old you are and then look across the spreadsheet to the corresponding “no” column. THAT will be your doctor’s guidance. Knee replacement? Hell no, you’re 65. That would be a waste of money. What? You want treatment for your emphesema? But you’re 80. You’ll be dead in 5 years anyway. We’re gonna save the money for the indigent mothers of 6 that want to have 8 more kids. They’re the ones that REALLY need it anyway, right?
I don’t think that there is anyone with one ounce of sense in their head that actually believes that this will improve the healthcare system of this nation. The driving force is power people. If you own someone’s healthcare, you own the person. Now I’m not going to go as far as to say that people could or would be deprived medical attention based on their politcal views (although it’s a thought provoking scenario for a short story) but imagine the campaign slogans for years to come: Democrats- Protecting your free health care since 2009! … or perhaps… Vote Republican and your personal health care costs will skyrocket!
Are you getting the picture now? They’ve been doing this for years with Medicare and Medicaid! Now look at what has happened to the geriatric voting block… sorry, old folks. We got what we want, now we’re throwing you to the wolves. You don’t need all the healthcare you’re getting because you’re old and you’ll be dead soon anyway. Just deal with it.
You have been betrayed. Next up, the rest of us. Starting with the stupid. Oh, wait. That’s already happened. They thought that they were going to get their mortgages paid and their cars filled with gas because they voted Obama. Well, ‘Change’ is here and ‘Change’ couldn’t care less about you idiots. Go watch American Idol. We’ll contact you when we need your votes again. You’ll have forgotten about this by then anyway…
Ask yourself why this was stuck in the middle of a ‘stimulus bill’ that is 700+ pages long. Why not shout this from the rooftops? Isn’t this a democrat Utopian idea? This is a platform issue for them! Really, if this is so popular, it should be a stand-alone signature item for PresBO.
If this bill passes, health care is going to suffer horrendously and they know it. You had better call your congressmen and senators to ask why they aren’t crucifying this bill openly on every tv channel and the floor of the house and senate. This is a covert government power grab and it is a LIE. Stand up and fight it or suffer the tyranny.
You have your orders.
