Obama Recants Another Fantastic Lie – Kids’ Health Insurance

~ Pharmer ~ 1 Comment

You were promised that kids with pre-existing conditions could be insured for cheap or free by Obamacare, and insurance companies were to be forced to provide this.

Then the reality got in the way. People would wait to buy insurance until the kid was already sick, and insurance companies were told they’d have to cover it at the same rate.

Then the Insurance companies, knowing they’d curl up and DIE under this regulation, stopped offering new insurance plans for sick kids.

NOW OBAMA HAS RESCINDED his policy. Insurance companies will be permitted to raise the rates of these policies for pre-existing conditions on child only policies outside the open enrollment period.

Does all this sound like gibberish? Obamacare has begun to collapse even before it has started.

Mothers Refusing Prenatal Testing to Protect Babies with Down » Secondhand Smoke | A First Things Blog.

Count the pharmer as one who dodged the prenatal testing, finding it to generate more negatives than positives.  All of my pregnancies would presently be categorized as high risk.  There was no testing for alpha-fetoprotein, nor any subsequent testing for anomalies.

Perhaps after the post-hippocratic, “witch-doctors” tire of polluting  the healing arts, the prenatal testing will become more useful for those of us who would NOT treat human afflictions by killing the patient.

Expect that with Obamacare,  moms will be told that that their children with disabilities will not be covered by health insurance.  In this way, women will be coerced to abort.

Women will attempt to protect their babies by not accepting any prenatal care whatsoever.

Not a Surprise Department

Koch Industries Lawyer to White House: How Did You Get Our Tax Information? | The Weekly Standard.

The Obama administration is expected to be rooting  through tax records of its opponents.  Look what the Obama cronies did to Joe the Plumber and Sarah Palin.

This is Not a surprise that the regime would abuse the  tax records of Koch Industries, run by libertarian political opponents.

Imagine how your health care records and decisions will be handled by the regime.

Woman Eaten Alive by Maggots

~ Pharmer ~ 1 Comment

Here’s a gross media contribution from just across the state line, about a Cincinnati woman’s untimely death. Apparently Jorene White, a sufferer from severe arthritis, was found in bed, with maggots eating the dead flesh of her bedsores, after a call to the police from her husband Darrell White.

Mr. White is in prison, accused of causing her death by neglect. Upon his arrest, he stated that his wife refused medical help, they did not have money for that help, and that he cared for her the best he could.

The woman in some audible reports was said to have been bedridden for 15 years.

There are a number of problems in this story of neglect. Two adults other than Mr. White and his wife are said to have shared that abode. He is the only one charged. While it is certain that Jorene White’s care was inadequate, it is not at all certain that any malice or intention to cause harm was involved. Obviously Mr. White was not well equipped for the exhausting, 24/7  job, and this condition applies to the majority of people.

The news story details no background leading up to this sad state of affairs.

The news story (styled for shock value) fails to acknowledge that many people, of little means, die from neglect due to lack of awareness that medical care is available for them. The media lie that 49 million Americans have no access to care has deeply sunken roots, and has caused many not to seek the existing medical help. We look forward now to the looming, rationed obama-care which that media lie was designed to bring about.

Maggots abound in the summer and are happy to offer free debridement services, removing necrotic tissue from any open sore which is not visible and regularly cleaned by professionals or other caregivers. Jorene White is among multitudes who have been found in this condition, in the U.S..

A note on the correct way to obtain medical maggot therapy, so as to avoid the extra media flagellation suffered by Mr. White:
Maggots are classed as a medical device, and a prescription is required to obtain them for wound debridement. For those without means to pay click here to learn about financial assistance for maggot therapy.

It Took Years to Teach Some ABC Reporters When Human Life Begins

2010 Campaign: Muted Debate on Abortion, Gay Marriage and Stem Cell Research – ABC News.

After a few news cycles over years,  and a barrage of commentary on  the poorly educated reporters who did not understand primary school level biology,  World News Tonight mentioned fertilization processes when discussing the (early) abortion  issues.   It took huge effort to evoke a  glimmer of comprehension about this crux of the abortion controversy.

Now these reporters are  fooling themselves into thinking that the conservatives have dropped social issues while taking up economic issues.

Wrong as usual.  This time they’ll stay wrong til it’s no longer relevant.    This connection is just too complex for the average alphabet network -journalist to understand.

When we take up the issue of Obamacare, we are addressing the abortion, euthanasia and embryonic stem cell  issues in a big way.   With Obamacare we are faced with health care professionals being coerced to participate in these practices, and massive loss of those workers as a result.  Surveys of physicians by Investors Business Daily,  and the New England Journal of Medicine have yielded the same result, predicting massive attrition in the event of Obamacare.   We are also faced with women being instructed to abort, and being  told that their children  will not have access to health care if they do not.   We are faced with the denial of care for the elderly and disabled in the name of cost containment.   The writings and vocalizations of Obama’s health care advisors are clear.

Repealing Obamacare IS THE BIGGEST SOCIAL ISSUE that has  grabbed  the attention of our  conservative movement.

Kevin Brady, Rep. 8th District TX presents a Partial Obamacare Chart

The above linked representation is partial, because the whole mess could not be expressed on a single chart, and this is said to represent about a third of it.

Some of what is featured in the Obamacare chart , (quoted from the presentation on Rep. Brady’s site) :

  • $569 billion in higher taxes;
  • $529 billion in cuts to Medicare;
  • swelling of the ranks of Medicaid by 16 million;
  • 17 major insurance mandates; and
  • the creation of two new bureaucracies with powers to impose future rationing: the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute and the Independent Payments Advisory Board.

How Would Obamacare Address This?

Man falls off surgical table; St. Joseph’s Hospital sued | StarTribune.com.

Now:  Stroke patient  Max DeVries,   is said to have rolled off an operating table and hit his head, prior to a surgery to replace a lumbar drain.   He later died from the injury, and the family is suing St Joseph hospital.   The Velcro straps on the table were insufficient to hold the 5′ 5″, 300 lb De Vries.

Later:  Under Obamacare,  Max DeVries would be denied the surgery, and the three  lumbar drains which preceded this one, due to his obesity, and status of unacceptable risk, and he would  have already been dead  from the swelling in his brain.

A lot of trouble and effort will be spared,  and hopefully  this will be a  comfort for Obama supporters in the future.
