The Liverpool Care Pathway is Applied to Babies as Well as Terminally Ill and Elderly
Great Britain is killing about 130,000 HHS patients per year using the Liverpool Care Pathway, which is really a program to more quickly end the life of patients who are considered hopeless.
The article below, from the Daily Mail is a must click, because it gives a view from the health care professionals who have witnessed the Liverpool Care Pathway in action. One doctor reveals that the parents of children with severe illnesses are often pressured into accepting the Liverpool pathway. They hope for a rapid, humane death for their babies, but wind up watching them shrivel away from starvation and dehydration over a period which averages 10 days duration.
This manner of ending human lives is essential for cost containment in government run health systems. Read more about it below.
Drudge: Company Fires 150 Employees For Not Getting Flu Shots
Pharmer hangs with COGforlife, the vaccine ethics watchers, and still missed the presence of this headline. The excuse is that she was setting up a new computer.
Flu vaccine does not have the ethical liabilities which the COGforlife group monitors. This particular story, which is not new, is upsetting the libertarian types, who think that vaccines ought to be voluntary.
Monitor the New Secessionist Movement, and a Means to Destroy OBAMACARE
27 States Petition to Secede from the United States on Change.org | TheBlaze.com.
At least 30 states are circulating petitions to secede from the union. The surprise is that Blue states are among this group, with their numbers of petitioners keeping up with many red states. Texas, a state with the greatest capacity to survive on its own, has 40,000 petitioners so far.
In addition to this secessionist movement, many states have exempted themselves at least in part from Obamacare. Those with health care freedom added to their constitutions include Alabama, Oklahoma, Arizona, Wyoming and Montana.
The following states have passed laws forbidding their state employees to implement Obamacare’s individual or employer mandates: Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah, and Virginia.
Pharmer recommends that people pressure their states to refuse to set up the insurance exchanges necessary to implement obamacare. The federal government did not allocate funds or any other means to set up the exchanges, and rely on cooperation from the states. Without this cooperation, Obamacare will essentially crash and burn.
Pro-lifer looks at the Vice Presidential Debate
The question concerning how the vice presidential candidates’ Catholic faith informs their view on abortion was easier for Ryan to deal with than for Biden.
Paul Ryan was able to clearly give his own pro-life position, but had to hedge on the policy which the Romney campaign has to put forth, which is to remove the public funds for abortion, but continue to permit abortion for rape, incest and so-called life of the mother exceptions.
Joe Biden looked down while delivering must of his answer, since, of course his so-called Catholic faith does not support his own pro-abortion position. It also does not support the extreme position of the Obama administration, which supports late term and post-birth abortion, and forces religiously run institutions and private businesses to pay for abortion, birth control and sterilizations through insurance.
Biden blatantly lied when he said that Catholic run institutions were not being affected by the HHS mandate.
Ryan asked: Then why is the Catholic Church still suing the Obama administration???
The Voice of John
Nurse MaryAnn Lawhon, found a baby who had survived an abortion, left to die of exposure. She rocked him as he died, baptized him, and named him John. She promised that she would carry his message, and this has inspired the title of upcoming movie, “The Voice of John”.
The Voice of John will be released on Nov 4, this year, hopefully not too late for people to respond by voting to remove Obamacare from our lives on November 6th.
Medicare to Fine Hospitals for Excessive Re-admissions.
Hospitals face Medicare Fines for Too Many Patients Re-admitted.
If hospitals have too many patients returning within 30 days of treatment, due to “complications” they’ll lose part of their medicare payments. The penalty starts at 1 percent and slides up to 3 percent over time.
This penalty will nail the charity and teaching hospitals hardest, for numerous reasons.
This penalty is another incentive to make sure patients prior medication records are all correct, and the docs attend to correct prescribing practices.
Birth Controlling the High School Herds in New York City
The Department of Education has expanded their “CATCH” Program (which involves giving birth control pills, Plan B and Depo-Provera to girls without parental consent) to 13 New York high schools. Parents can opt out of the program by FINDING a piece of paperwork allowing them to opt out, and signing it. The so-called information telling parents of this form has resulted in only a 1-2 percent response.
Prescriptions for the drugs are supplied by Health Department physicians. This can be obtained by seeing a school nurse, and taking a pregnancy test.
From the NY Post:
“We can’t give out a Tylenol without a doctor’ s order,” said a school staffer. “Why should we give out hormonal preparations with far more serious possible side effects, such as blood clots and hypertension?”
Last year, New York City boasted a 64% abortion rate among 7000 girls under 17 who got pregnant.
Watch and see if this program of giving out pills at high schools has any effect on the statistics.
Pharmer wonders who is the brainiac behind this new “CATCH-bugs” program, which is likely to boost the incidence of STDs in the area, now that girls will have less incentive to abstain or use barriers.
The following schools are listed by the NY Post as participating in the program to pass out birth control hormones to kids without parental consent. Adlai Stevenson and Grace Dodge in The Bronx; Boys and Girls, Clara Barton, W.H. Maxwell Career and Technical Education, Abraham Lincoln and Paul Robeson in Brooklyn; John Adams, Newcomers, Queens Vocational and Technical, and Voyagers in Queens; High School of Fasion Industries in Chelesa, and Port Richmond on Staten Island.
Seward Park Campus in lower Manhattan was dropped from the program because the school medical office couldn’t keep up with the business.
Obama Admin Argues Gov. Can Violate Religious Beliefs
Obama’s Department of Injustice has argued for the HHS mandate, against plaintiffs who cite that it violates the First Amendment of the Constitution. It holds that a privately owned company cannot exercise the religious beliefs of its owners in the business activities of the corporation. The Obama administration argues that it has authority to compel any privately owned corporation to do anything which the government demands, no matter how it violates the religious ethics of the company owners or employees. Legatus, an association of Catholic business leaders, Weingartz Supply, an outdoor equipment supplier, and Hobby Lobby, a large retail chain are among the filers of 28 separate lawsuits which challenge the HHS mandate in court.
WhistleWatch »OSC Finds HHS Secretary Sebelius Violated Hatch Act
WhistleWatch » Blog Archive » OSC Finds HHS Secretary Sebelius Violated Hatch Act.
The Office of Special Counsel has determined that on February 25, 2012, Kathleen Sebelius made partisan comments during a speech made in her official capacity. This is a violation of the Hatch Act which constrains public official from political activity to affect the outcome of an election.
The HHS department, after the fact, reclassified the trip as personal and Sebelius had to reimburse the costs.
The Report by the OCS has been sent to the president and it will go absolutely Nowhere.
It would be good to check who paid for Sebelius’ trip to the DNC to shill and resell Obamacare a week ago.
