As Pharmer Deals with Young Female Stroke and DVT Patients Who Have Been On the Pill..

Insurers must cover birth control with no copays – Yahoo! News.

Yes, the Obama administration considers the pill to be more necessary for women than all other drugs, so it must be covered by insurance companies with NO COPAY.

Sebelius is supposedly offering an out for religious institutions which have objection to the pill,  but who in their right mind  would expect that to last?

We pack the hormones in special safe handling packages for dispensing, because the World Health Organization rates them as a carcinogen, and the Obamanators think that all women of reproductive age need these things.  Pharmer is less worried about the cancer, and more worried about the thrombotic events and metabolic disorders, as well as thinking that women should not be chemically  altered to control the rate of reproduction.  The hormones also bear the possibility of ethically unacceptable mechanisms of action- causing the deaths of early human embryos.

Gurls,  we are going to have to JUST SAY “NO” TO DRUGS, and learn how to time the baby making  to the size of the ability to raise them using safer, natural means.

Romney Triple Flush

~ Pharmer

The social leftist wing of the Republican Party has been casting about for the Romney substitute, because they know he’s too liberal to garner votes from conservatives.

1) Romney had to argue against Obamacare, after instituting Romneycare, which contains most of the unsavory aspects of Obama’s  healthcare mess.

2) Romney believes in the religion of global warming.

3) American Right to Life   (remember their huge protest  sign at the DNC convention?)  won’t let anyone forget that Romney isn’t serious about his pro-life claims.  They’ve visited his fundraiser in Denver with a devastating reminder.  You can see them at Jill Stanek’s. “Dogging Romney” is not  really new to this group.

Tom Blumer at the Bizzy Blog provides the evidence supporting  American Right to Life’s  sign in Denver which reminds us:  “Romneycare: 50$ copay abortions” See the images of Romney care features, including the tax payer funded abortions.  Blumer also reminds us that Romneycare came complete with tax penalties for those who did not provide proof of health care coverage.

 

End of Obamacare waivers announced late Friday

Obamacare waivers get axe in last-minute Friday night news dump – Patriot Update.

There are about 1400 total waivers granted from Obamacare so far.   Late Friday there was a decision to halt any more waivers  to industries, which would be damaged by the new health care regulations, as of Sept. 22 this year.
There has been difficulty for the administration in justifying its choices of which businesses are worthy of preserving until 2012 by granting  waivers from the onerous cost of Obamacare regulations.

Obama Sez: His ‘Healthcare Doesn’t Fund Abortions’, He Will Force the States to Fund It.

~ Pharmer

“One more misunderstanding I want to clear up — under our plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions, and federal conscience laws will remain in place,” the president said in an address to a joint session of Congress to sell health care reforms. -September 10, 2009 FOXNews.com

Obama’s intention, as expressed to the State of Indiana, is that he will force the states to fund abortion with their taxpayer dollars.

The Obama Dept of Health and Human Services  says that the Indiana decision to remove tax funding of abortion providers,  denies needed health care services to  medicaid recipients. Indiana has 28 Planned Parenthood clinics and many hundreds  of other qualified providers  to deliver real  health care to women in the 21 counties affected by the defunding of abortion clinics.  The argument from the HHS  is that defunding planned parenthood restricts choice of providers to  patients dependent on medicaid  funds for their treatment.  (Pharmer notes: this will be the ultimate effect  of Obamacare on everyone).  Here’s the Letter from the Obama HHS  medicaid director  Donald Berwick to Indiana’s  counterpart,  Patricia Casanova.

If Indiana stops funding abortion clinics, as the Federal government is supposed to have done,  the Obama administration intends to cut off  federal funding for all medicaid  patients in the state of Indiana.   His Dept of Health and Human Services, run by the radically pro-abortion Kathleen Sebelius is expected to  threaten  all the states similarly.

The message is loud and clear.  We fully  understand that  providing abortion is a prime directive of the Democrat Party, and its importance supercedes that of all other health care.

Perhaps the states will tire of the federal usurpation of their rights, and dictatorial control by the federal government. It appears thus far that Indiana will be putting up a fight.

Let’s hope the state  doesn’t  cave as Texas did to the TSA gropers.

Late News: the Electrolyte Shortage

Drugs For Critically Ill In Short Supply – Nashville News Story – WSMV Nashville.

Pharmer’s been telling you….  drugs for critical care, and for chemotherapy have been in short supply like never before.

Above is an article highlighting the severe  electrolyte shortage we’ve been juggling for many months at the hospital pharmacies.

TPN  (total parenteral nutrition) has been a big challenge as hospitals change and juggle products and ration in response to the shortages.  The multivitamin supplement and vitamin C supply  has been a problem since last year.   Patients are now having multivitamins added  into their  TPN formulations on a staggered basis.

Changing to different drug  products with different concentrations has increased the error rate as personnel adjust to the new concentrations.

The electrolyte shortage, in particular, is largely influenced by quality control and oversight issues at American Regent, one of the few suppliers of  these drugs.

The FDA, has not been effective in balancing the oversight of quality control with the risks of short or no supply of essential drug products.  This is is either by design, (to relieve the  financial pressure of medicare and social security), or just because it’s the usual inefficient government organization, or a bit of both.

Obama’s IPAB Death Panel – Even Some Democrats Are Opposing it

~ Pharmer

It’s THAT bad!   Congress sees it as an unconstitutional removal of their authority over spending, by unelected officials.

Death Panels Crop Up Again as Obama Mentions IPAB in Medicare | LifeNews.com.

Another  mechanism by which Obamacare will gut the care of the elderly, in his deficit reduction plan,  is to further cut medicare and medicaid reimbursement so that health care providers are not able to stay in business while serving that patient base, in compliance with government regulations.   This leaves those individuals without the promised “free”  Obamacare,  which has been  the intention all along.

Dr. Elaina George Points at IPAB, the Death Panel

~ Pharmer

» The Administration’s Answer To High Healthcare Costs is…. Rationing – Big Government.

The unelected 15 member Death Panel, known as the Independent Payment Advisory Board, is created to ration Obamacare.

Sick people won’t have the energy to fight through the roadblocks that this group will put in the way of obtaining health care, and will obligingly Die, for lack of access to the promised  “free” services.

Dr. Elaina George recognizes both the death panel, and the cronyism that drives Obamacare in her article, linked above.
