Obama has already stated expensive health care is not for everyone. Obama is wise enough to choose who gets a pill instead of life-saving surgery.
How will Obama decide who?
He will do it like they do it in the UK.
Government interference in medicine destroys it. And destroys the true God-given rights of humans.
Every person has the right to health care? NO. Not in the NHS, and not in Obamacare. Obama has the right to DECIDE who gets health care, though.
Even government cannot afford health care for everyone. No; ESPECIALLY government cannot afford health care for everyone. In fact, ONLY government cannot afford health care for everyone. ANYBODY ELSE besides government would be SUED INTO OBLIVION for practicing medicine as Obama plans to do it; as horribly illustrated in reality below.
No; you cannot sue your Obama-compliant physician – and if you complain about the miracle of Obamacare Henry Waxman will call you before congress with all your private records.
Obamacare is an insult to medicine, an insult to Hippocrates, an insult to Americans – just plain an insult.
After all, Max Baucus and Howard Dean have already assured us Obamacare is all about wealth redistribution; not health care for everyone.
Check it out below: “Some patients may not even be told that an operation could help their problem.” Where does “first do no harm” fit in Obamacare?
Basic surgical procedures that could improve the lives of thousands of people are being withheld by NHS trusts desperate to save money, according to some of the country’s leading doctors.
In a letter in today’s Guardian, the presidents of associations representing six of the biggest surgical disciplines claim “patients attend their GP surgeries with conditions that can be effectively treated by surgery and are being turned away”.
Some of the patients may not even be told that an operation could help their problem, the surgeons say. Even when the sick are referred to a hospital consultant they can be refused operations because trusts have “arbitrarily defined a number of operations that reduce pain, improve quality of life and prevent serious long-term complications as being of ‘limited clinical value'”.
10 million jobs, this year. Next year will be more. AT&T alone has written of $1 BILLIOIN in assets. For starters only, Caterpillar (Obama’s pal Jim) has written of $100 MILLION – that’s for starters. Maybe it’s really $100 million PER QUARTER at Caterpillar.
Obama said in January that he was focused on creating jobs for Americans.
Obama is focused on creating jobs for unemployment clerks and tax collectors in Washington, D.C.
American corporations, large and small, are DOWNSIZING (writing off assets) TODAY to pay Obama for future medical services. (For “progressives” who may be reading: You should enact a law REQUIRING corporations to hire more Americans diverse workers. Then you could get unemployment up to 50%, like in Detroit, your model economy).
There is only one small problem: there will be extremely limited medical services available in these United States, similar to Canada, following Obama’s actual efforts in the first quarter of 2010.
It doesn’t matter how bad the medical services are. There is no mechanism (free market capitalism made American health care the finest in the world) except Obama’s death panels engaged to improve medical care any longer in the United States. Obama will collect the cash anyway, though.
Obama has destroyed utterly the finest health care system in the world; and he wants you to pay him for doing so. Obama thinks government revenue will grow even while unemployment increases. Obama’s plan is based upon this concept.
The AT&T /quotes/comstock/13*!t/quotes/nls/t (T 26.24, +0.09, +0.34%) write-down is the largest reported so far. Caterpillar /quotes/comstock/13*!cat/quotes/nls/cat (CAT 62.44, +0.30, +0.48%) this week recorded a $100 million charge in the first quarter and Deere & Co. /quotes/comstock/13*!de/quotes/nls/de (DE 60.56, +0.36, +0.60%) said it will report a one-time $150 million expense. See previous story on industries that say warn health reform will cost them.
Among its many changes, the new health-care law eliminated a tax deduction that companies used to cut the cost of drug-benefit programs for retired workers. President Obama signed the massive health-care overhaul into law earlier this week in a big victory for ruling Democrats.
Yet companies that still offer retiree drug benefits, mostly older industrial concerns or those with unionized employees, say the end of the deduction could force them to alter their benefit plans. In other words, they might curtail or even cancel them.
“As a result of this legislation, including the additional tax burden, AT&T will be evaluating prospective changes to the active and retiree health care benefits offered by the company,” AT&T said in a filing with the government on Friday.
The Obama presidency has finally achieved the decisive and rich international accolades it has been so desperatly seeking to plush up its memoirs.
Americans don’t like Obamacare very much; but more important and more significant commentator (not plural) like it a lot, indeed.
The highest and most experienced existing authority on state-run health care, and Obama’s personal mentor, Fidel Castro, has opened the flood-gates for what will without doubt soon be a raging torrent of international acclaim for Obamacare; no matter what mere Americans might say. Possibly, al-Qaeda and Jeremiah Wright will join the throng of endorsers, Obama hopes.
Obama’s comrade Fidel: Obamacare is “a miracle.” Castro has long sought the destruction of the United States; as has his devoted pupil Obama.
American health care will within a few short years closely resemble health care in Cuba. Or in Canada. Or in the UK. No wonder Fidel and his pet Obama are overjoyed.
America will closely resemble Cuba, too. Obama’s “Post America” is your reward for an industrious, productive, career.
Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro on Thursday declared passage of American health care reform “a miracle” and a major victory for Obama’s presidency
March 23 (Bloomberg) — Indoor tanning salons will charge customers a 10 percent tax beginning today in just one of the changes Americans will see as a result of the U.S. health-care overhaul signed into law by President Barack Obama.
Insurers will be required by September to begin providing health coverage to kids with pre-existing illnesses and allow parents to keep children younger than 26 on their plans as the clock has begun ticking on many of the law’s provisions. Medicare recipients will receive a $250 rebate for prescription drugs when they reach a coverage gap called the donut hole if the Senate passes and the president signs companion legislation approved March 21 by the U.S. House.
The $940 billion overhaul subsidizes coverage for uninsured Americans, financed by Medicare cuts to hospitals and fees or taxes on insurers, drugmakers, medical-device companies and Americans earning more than $200,000 a year. Many of the changes in the bill of more than 2,400 pages, such as requiring most people to have health insurance and employers to provide coverage, will take at least two years to go into effect.
As “democrats” destroy industry after industry in the United States, it is not surprising to hear them brag about their audacity.
The real “culture of corruption” is now at our necks (presuming “Obamacare” is “enacted”), not just at our pocket books.
The American government is now running wild, comfortably beyond control of the Constitution. America is now the victim, or SUBJECT, of its government, which was specifically to be prevented by the US Constitution, now apparently defunct. Formerly, government served America.
Democrats, the majority party, make up the rules to fit the circumstances; and then brag about it.
Impeached, ergo incompetent judges, MAKE UP THE RULES AS THEY GO.
Industrial strength corruption now dominates American government. No; it’s post-industrial strength corruption.
The failure of democracy is anarchy. That’s why we had a constitutional republic. HAD.
What we have now is complete, perfect, corruption in government. Anarchy and fascism follow, based upon history.
(Dr. Milton Wolf video is below the fold – Obamacare is a “blight”).
Lifted from the blog The Wolf Files (Post of Friday, March 19):
Proprietor at The Wolf Files is Dr. Milton Wolf who is Obama’s second cousin.
Dr. Milton Wolf, like the vast majority of American doctors, opposes Obamacare and government run medicine.
Dr. Milton Wolf, Obama’s cousin, opposes Obamacare quite strongly.
In my experience, these phone lines are busy. The reason is obvious. The constituents of these congresspersons also strongly oppose Obamacare.
But I plan to keep calling all day today and tomorrow until . . .
If you don’t want to see the finest health care system in the world rendered useless by an arrogant 3-year old (Obama) and his leftist cohort, then you should call too.
