Below you will find an assessment of Obamacare by Dr. Dave Janda, a world-recognized orthopedic surgeon.
Pay particular attention to the business about the "National Healthcare
Board". You can even read the bill from the link provided, which is far
more than any of your Colorado Congressional delegation or Barack Obama
have done.
Before you read it, however, consider this:
Recently,
we had the community involved in the Walk for Life. Over in Colorado
Bank East, we had the Walk for Life Footprint cards up all along the
wall. There were a lot of them. Most of them were not survivors, but
many of them survived long enough to inspire the rest of us, and to
love the rest of us, and be loved by us.
If it were up to Obama
and his collection of elitists, Sue Steeves would have been denied
treatment. If it were up to Obama and his collection of elitists,
Gordon Gossman would have been denied treatment. Both suffered from
extremely aggressive cancers, with almost no chance of survival. Yet
both lived much longer than predicted, and both had a much better
quality of life during their illnesses than most would have thought
possible.
Yet Obama's National Health Care Board would have rejected their treatment as not being 'cost-effective'.
How
many people do you know who right now, right this moment, fall into
that bureaucratic pit of despair? How many have you known? How many of
those people listed on the Footprints would have been picking out a
coffin, courtesy of President Barack Obama, and Nancy Pelosi, and Henry
Waxman, and Harry Reid... and John Salazar, Mark Udall, and Michael
Bennet?
These arrogant, stupid bastards can't even run a clunker buy-back without screwing it up.
Do you really want them running your healthcare?
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:
AAHCA Bill
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."
