Big Brother Health Care Provisions Slipped Into Economic Stimulus Bill

http://www.naturalnews.com/025575.html

 

NaturalNews) The new $800 billion economic stimulus bill contains some striking

new " Big Brother " health care language that should give pause to all

freedom-loving Americans. For starters, the bill requires the electronic

tracking of the medical records of all Americans. All your private medical data

will be stored in a government database, including your history of disease,

pharmaceutical treatments, surgeries and even emergency room visits.

How would you like the government knowing all the details about your drug rehab?

Or alcoholism treatments? Abortion? Sexually-transmitted disease diagnosis?

Pregnancy status? Blood test results?

But it gets even more interesting than that: Under the new provisions found in

the bill, all U.S. doctors will now be stripped of autonomy and forced to follow

the medical treatment guidelines dictated by the government.

This news should rock the medical world (once they truly understand it). It

means doctors can no longer make their own decisions about patients' needs or

treatment protocols. From now on, all health care decisions will be centrally

planned by a dictatorial, Big Brother health care authority in the federal

government.

How to turn doctors into sheeple

As Bloomberg.com reports (http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?...), Tom Daschle

was one of the architects of this plan, and he says that doctors " have to learn

to operate less like solo practitioners. "

Any doctor that deviates from that plan would be penalized by the government.

That means, for example, that a local doctor who knows the patient and his

family, and who is aware of specific local circumstances affecting that patient

will no longer be able to apply any of that knowledge in treating the patient.

All treatments will be dictated from the government, obliterating the whole

point of allowing doctors to operate with some degree of autonomy in the first

place.

Effectively, this bill transforms the entire U.S. medical profession into

nothing more than pill-pushing puppets. It wipes out the intelligence of a local

doctor and replaces it with the stupidity of Big Government.

If the government says all expectant mothers must be screened for depression and

put on antidepressant drugs, then all the doctors have to play along and do that

if they don't want to be fined or have their medical licenses taken away. If the

government says nutritional supplements are dangerous and cannot be recommended

to patients, then all doctors must remain silent and avoid telling patients the

truth about helpful nutritional supplements. Whatever the government dictates

must now be mirrored by all practicing doctors.

And don't forget: The U.S. government is largely controlled by the

pharmaceutical companies, and that means these health care dictates are almost

certain to emphasize pharmaceutical treatments, disease " screening " and disease

mongering provisions designed to sell more drugs. You can count on there being

increased requirements for vaccinations (HPV vaccines, too) and mental health

screenings (psychiatric drugs, anyone?).

Communism is alive and well in America's health care system

Americans asked for health care, but what they got was Health Communism. There

is absolutely no reason to believe that a centrally-controlled government body

has any ability to make good health care decisions for individual patients

across America. There is also no reason to believe the U.S. government will

safeguard patient medical data or even respect the privacy of patients. This is

the same government, after all, that has been caught routinely spying on its own

citizens by tapping phone lines, emails, faxes and internet traffic.

If anything, the U.S. government has proven itself over the past few years to be

the enemy of the American people on the issue of health care. Just look at the

actions of the FDA in censoring nutritional supplement health claims

(http://www.naturalnews.com/019366.html), or the FTC in assaulting herbal

product companies (http://www.naturalnews.com/025303.html). This government is

clearly dead set against health care in America, and the more we put government

in charge of making health care decisions, the worse the outcome is going to be.

Obama cried " catastrophe " in urging lawmakers to pass this economic stimulus

bill. It's funny how fear is now being used to pass every trillion-dollar

spending scandal in Washington these days. That's one thing the government

learned very well from 9/11 - fear sells. And it sold Congress on this stimulus

bill, too.

But in terms of health care, the only thing this bill is going to stimulate is

more disease, more dead Americans and more profits for Big Pharma. There's

nothing in the bill about ending FDA censorship, or teaching the public about

nutrition, or banning pharmaceutical advertising on television. All this bill

has accomplished is to spend Americans ever more quickly into financial

destitution and medical desperation. It is one of the final nails in the coffin

of American prosperity.

From now on, America will largely be defined by disease and debt, and the Obama

administration apparently has no answer to either one.

Watch out, folks. The government is here to save us.

If you're looking for REAL solutions, stay tuned to NaturalNews.com. We are only

a few days away from launching our new health freedom petition which demands

real health care reform and an end to the dark era of Big Pharma domination over

health care.

That petition will be announced right here on NaturalNews.

President Obama: Protect US from Medical Fascism

 

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26671

 

The Economic Stimulus Bill President Obama is proposing, unless millions of us

act promptly, may signal the end of any health freedom in the United States and

those countries insane enough to clone themselves after our deadly " HealthCare

System " .

If you want to find out exactly why, click here -

http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=2060 - to read an article from Bloomber

written by Betsy McCaughey, former lieutenant governor of New York, about the

coming enslavement of doctors that will enslave you so that you - and they - can

make no health care choices, have no medical privacy, and select no course of

treatment that the new Federal bureaucratic overlords of " Health Care " do not

authorize for you, at your age, and at your financial 'worth' to society. When

the slaves cannot produce for the masters, it is time to let them (us) just

die...

Quoting Ms. McCaughey

(Page numbers refer to H.R. 1 EH, pdf version).

" The bill’s health rules will affect “every individual in the United States”

(445, 454, 479). Your medical treatments will be tracked electronically by a

federal system...

But the bill goes further. One new bureaucracy, the 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.”

Keeping doctors informed of the newest medical findings is important, but

enforcing uniformity goes too far. "

So what is an unprecedented grant of power over health care, by Congress, to the

bureaucracy doing in an economic " stimulus " bill? And why does Congress think a

new bureaucracy should make life-and-death health care choices for us?

" Health Freedom " was one of the " Top Ten " social issues on Change.org and was

included in the President's Briefing Book on the official Change.gov web site.

We demand that Health Freedom be taken seriously and that Health Fascism - as

exemplified by the hidden provisions of the " stimulus " bill be stopped NOW!

That's what we'd like to ask the President, and that's what we invite you to ask

him too. Of course, you are welcomed to add your own (respectful) comments as

well!

 

petition letter:

 

Dear President Obama,

 

Natural Solutions Foundation, the nation's premiere " net roots " Health Freedom

association alerted me to the threats to Health Freedom hidden in H.R. 1 EH, the

" Stimulus Bill. "  

 

" Health Freedom " was one of the " Top Ten " social issues on Change.org and was

included in the President's Briefing Book on the official Change.gov web site.

We demand that Health Freedom be taken seriously and that Health Fascism - as

exemplified by the hidden provisions of the " stimulus " bill be stopped NOW.

 

Betsy McCaughey, former lieutenant governor of New York, wrote in Bloomberg

about the coming enslavement of doctors that will enslave all of us, so that we

- and they - can make no health care choices, have no medical privacy, and

select no course of treatment that the new Federal bureaucratic overlords of

" Health Care " do not authorize for us, at our age, and at our financial 'worth'

President Obama, this imposition of Medical Fascism on the People is NOT real

Change. Sneaking it into the " Stimulus " bill is just plain old " politics as

usual. "

 

Please use your authority as President to make it clear that these new powers

granted by Congress will not be used to restrict Health Care Freedom of Choice.

 

We call upon you to include a clear indication of intent in a Signing Statement

when (and if) you approve the bill.

 

The Signing Statement should state the Definition of Health Freedom from

Change.org and your Briefing Book, " Health Freedom means the right to control

what happens to your body, choosing your own health path, making your own health

choices as you see fit. "

You need to regulate the regulators -- we call upon you to instruct the

bureaucracy to respect the rights of doctors and patients, to ensure that the

United States fully respects the World Medical Association's Declaration of

Helsinki - http://www.wma.net/e/policy/pdf/17c.pdf - and does not impose on our

Citizens restrictions against health care choice, especially when those choices

involve nutrients and natural remedies.

 

Thank you for your consideration in this matter. " Health Freedom is Our First

Freedom! "
