Ruin your health with the Obama stimulus plan. Better yet, just die.

Editor’s Note: Thanks, Uppity, for a great piece, for which I’m planning a follow-up. This is precisely what terrified me about Obama’s health care and privatization plans for Social Security, which his ga-ga supporters utterly ignored because they were in fantasy land over this phony baloney post-partisanship (whatever that is, well, it’s nothing but B.S. talk). – Susan

UPDATED: Hold onto your hats. I can’t wait till AARP takes a bite out of this guy’s butt. They will be standing in front of the White House with pitch forks and torches.

In mentioning ‘automated’ medical records which will make things “more efficient,” they didn’t explain exactly “How” that will happen. Well not to the public anyhow.

As you read on, you will thank Jesus (even if you don’t believe!) that Tom Daschle got his smarmy thieving butt thrown out of that HHS slot before he even sat his ethanol-scamming ass in his plushy chair. But that doesn’t mean he won’t be consulting. What scares me is Barack Obama was so adamant that he was Just What The Doctor Ordered.

Let’s take a look at what Tom Daschle and Barack Obama have planned for you in the ’stimulus” bill.

Senators should read these provisions and vote against them because they are dangerous to your health. (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. Having electronic medical records at your fingertips, easily transferred to a hospital, is beneficial. It will help avoid duplicate tests and errors.

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 Crises.” According to Daschle, doctors have to give up autonomy and “learn to operate less like solo practitioners.”

Yes you read that right.

Treatments will be “monitored” to make sure you don’t cost the government too much money if you are sick, Comrade.

Especially if you are kind of old. You know how old and disabled people are just such a drain on communist societies. Some leaders even eliminated them in the past. What was that guy’s name again?

Let’s face it, you can’t work for the Glorious Cause if you are old or sick.

So to recap, your government is going to make medical costs more efficient by deciding whether or not you deserve treatment. After all, sometimes you just have to deal with what life brings you. It’s all for the Glorious Cause you know. And just think: There will be nowhere you can go to “appeal” the decision. It will be final, Comrade.

Oh, and one more thing. Doctors who do not obey are not “meaningful users” will face stiff penalties. In other words, they can all stick their Hippocratic Oaths up their collective asses.

Hospitals and doctors that are not “meaningful users” of the new system will face penalties. “Meaningful user” isn’t defined in the bill. That will be left to the HHS secretary, who will be empowered to impose “more stringent measures of meaningful use over time” (511, 518, 540-541)

What penalties will deter your doctor from going beyond the electronically delivered protocols when your condition is atypical or you need an experimental treatment? The vagueness is intentional. In his book, Daschle proposed an appointed body with vast powers to make the “tough” decisions elected politicians won’t make.

And just in case you have any doubts that you are no longer going to be allowed to grow old in Our Brave New World of Hopeless Change:

Elderly Hardest Hit

Daschle says health-care reform “will not be pain free.” Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them. That means the elderly will bear the brunt.

Medicare now pays for treatments deemed safe and effective. The stimulus bill would change that and apply a cost- effectiveness standard set by the Federal Council (464).

Well I suppose this is one way to “reform” social security. They can kill you first before you collect any of the money you put into it. But I can guarantee you one thing for sure: Your Dear Leaders won’t have any problem getting any treatment they need in a timely way. At your expense.

Hidden Provisions

If the Obama administration’s economic stimulus bill passes the Senate in its current form, seniors in the U.S. will face similar rationing. Defenders of the system say that individuals benefit in younger years and sacrifice later.

These people are disgusting. The lowest form of scum.I suggest that to this bunch Change really means Hopelessness.

As for Tom Daschle and his “plans” for us: I wish him everything he deserves so long as it’s not good. And to use his own words, I hope it’s not “Pain Free” either.

This shit is downright evil. Congress and the White House: You are all animals. Why don’t you toss in Assisted Suicide too? Think of how “efficient” that would be! Say, I have an idea. Why don’t you go first when you get sick–and we’ll be right behind you!

Hope and Change. Indeed.

Oh, and one more thing: When can we expect Ted Kennedy to be “more accepting” of his condition and stop burdening the system with cost?
