Guest guest Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 MD's Opinion of Obama Health Care............. I am sending this to all of my friends and family although I know some of us do not share political views. My intent is not to offend, nor take advantage of our friendship. I believe this piece of legislation should transcend party lines. This isn't about one party winning over another. If you haven't read this piece of legislation, you should. Afterwards, if you do not support it, please contact your Congressional representatives and let them know! Voters need to understand what these 1000+ pages truly mean and the consequences to the American people. THE ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE OBAMA CARE Dr. Dave Janda To The Point 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.pd\ f 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 ObamaHealth 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.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Please stop posting these 'summaries' from unknown source. First of all, people can be assured, all of us being busy, we would rather read a 'summary' of a 1,000 page document. If you are going to read a summary, check out the source. Do any of us known Dr Darby and who his business connections might be? Do we know this is indeed from the " Dr Darby " . Also, what is the fear of having an additional health care plan to choice from. It is FACT that private health insurance plans will be as they are now. If you are suspicious of a government run plan, you can simply stay with your private plan. I may stay with mine. I think I have good health insurance. It doesn't cover mold illness but I doubt a government plan would either. Secondly, we ALREADY have a government plan that has been working for seniors since President Roosevelt set it up, so the government is already in the health care business, which has has none of these scary features. Medicare and Medicaid are also OPTIONAL plans. You don't need to get rid of your private insurance when you retire. You can opt out of Medicare and stick to your private insurance when you retire. Your costs will be much higher because with two insurers, what your primary insurance doesn't pay for, your secondary insurer does, but if you decide you want to keep your private insurance when you hit the age you are eligible for Medicare, you can. So there is a government run program already that isn't scary, so what is scary about having another government run plan that includes people below retirement age? You don't have to take it yourself. Every election cycle the number one complaint from the public is the cost of health insurance and for many people, their inability to get it at all. Every time the government tries to take this on, insurance companies comes out with all this propaganda against it and everyone becomes afraid, then Congress votes it down due to pressure from their constituents. During Clinton administration, it was the " Harry and Louise " ads. So what is the solution? If government would try to ** " regulate " ** private health insurance companies, FORCE them to take people with pre-existing conditions, OR if they would try to FORCE them to lower premiums, then these same people come out on radio and other outlets to bash government for *the ultimate sin, **REGULATING PRIVATE INDUSTRY**, " **interfering with capitalism** " and 'free enterprise' " and again an uproar and Congress votes it down, and THIS VERY THING- the deregulation of *free enterprise* is what lead to the crisis in the banking industry that we are all suffering from. Banks kept lobbying Congress to deregulate, deregulate and deregulate, until all the regulations set up to protect us from last stock market crash and Great Depression, were gone, now we have another one. They cut out all regulations that protected the public from abuse from private enterprise, lifted limits on interest they could charge, and got more limits put on an individuals ability to file for bankruptys, while getting legislation passed which made it easier for them to file for bankrupcy. The fear over our government has become histerical, while we willingly hand over to for-profit industry our most critical issues. A strictly 'for profit' business for making tables and chairs probably works out great. The table isn't so great, and it's gone, but to assume a for-profit industry makes for the ultimate health care system makes no sense. So people who believe this (that government is going to NOT take care of elderly and chronically ill), are saying they believe that a " for profit " industry, is going to be more willing to take on high cost chronically ill patients and the elderly, than the government, who has been the main party doing this so far (Medicaid and Medicare). If you think this, you are NUTS!!! --- In , SD <darby700@.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Well said. Not to mention that pharmaceutical lobbyists have spent $40 million dollars fighting the health care reform. That should tell you something right there.
