Filling up the Pharmer’s email are huge numbers of requests from various pro life organizations to sign petitions which demand removal of abortion from health care.
Very briefly, this is the explanation for an inability to sign on to most of these.
The premise from so many groups is that the problem of the democrat health care plans will be solved with language removing abortion funding from the bill.
People naively assume that removing funding will remove the abortion mandate. This is not so. Mothers will be coerced to abort unborn babies with untoward fetal diagnoses in any government run system, because there will be the threat of no health coverage for such kids. Health care professionals will still be coerced to participate in this and other unethical activity. This is the reality in other socialized medicine systems which lack the funding for care of premature infants, and those with significant congenital disabilities.
Denial of care at other points in development, with respect to early diagnosis using imaging, severe illnesses, and terminal illness, is also a sad reality in other government run health care systems, as well as the one planned for America.
Finally there is the problem of turning over our health care autonomy to an entity which is KNOWN to be CORRUPT. This is not a smart move. The control over our health care will be used by the government to control other aspects of our lives.
Sorry to the pro-life liberals, Pharmer, (whose insights stem from health care experience), is ethically constrained from signing on to any aspect of the killer-government controlled health care.
Democrat Health Reform, a Criminal Plan
http://thomas.loc.gov Currently, two bills have been passed by the U.S. House, HR-3962(Affordable Health Care for America Act) and HR-3590 (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act) as presently listed on the Thomas Congressional Register. It is expected that the worst elements of both plans will be incorporated into the final version that the Senate votes on in December.
Here are some of the 'negatives' in the two plans; of course there are many more, but it is simply not possible to do a complete review of the thousands of pages contained in both House Bills, particularly during these rapid Congressional change cycles. Here are some of the facts that the news media isn't reporting:
HR-3962, SECTION 59B. imposes a tax on individuals who do not have acceptable health care coverage. This means a plan approved by the Federal Govt and specifically by the Health Czar. It is currently 2.5% of the individual's gross income. Expect this number to increase in the final version.
SECTION 321, PUBLIC OPTION allows the federal govt. to compete in the Health care industry and will ultimately force out ALL competition, leaving the insured with only one option, despite what you may have been told.
HR-3590, SECTION 2303 provides for Planned Parenthood services at taxpayer expense. This will include abortion on demand and everyone is to pay an abortion premium,whether or not the abortion 'option' is exercised.
SECTION 2703 specifies 'health homes' for people with chronic conditions. The plan provides "coordination across the care continuum (including the use of wireless patient technology to improve coordination and management of care and patient adherence to recommendations made by their provider). The terms 'wireless technology' and 'patient adherence' to recommendations is cause for real concern. It appears there may be greater freedom of choice regarding health issues in prison.
The 'chronic' conditions listed in this section are: (A) A mental health condition (look for PMS or Post Partem depression to qualify here) (B)Substance use disorder (except medical pot) (C)Asthma (D) Diabetes (E) Heart Disease which likely will include mild forms of arrhythmia. (F)Being overweight, as evidenced by having a Body Mass Index (BMI)over 25. And who has the power to determine what individual weight is acceptable in a free society?
Interestingly enough, NONE of the medical conditions associated with the 'gay' lifestyle are considered chronic here, such as campy lobacteriosis, Treponema pallidium, or gay bowel syndrome. Perhaps, it's because gays are such large contributors to the Democratic National Committee.
SEC. 4103 ANNUAL WELLNESS VISIT, Paragraph (E) The establishment of, or an update to, the following: (i) A screening schedule for the next 5 to 10 years, as appropriate, based on recommendations of the United States Preventive Services Task Force and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.."
The patient has little to say under this clause as to what treatment he or she wishes to receive. This could include vaccines that contain aborted fetal tissue as currently manufactured by companies like NeoCutis < VAXIN {NeoCutis uses aborted tissues in cosmetic applications, VAXIN uses the PER.C6 aborted cell line for their influenza vaccines – Ed} 'Acceptable vaccines' will be established by the 'health professionals' under the evolutionary 'rules of science' and the Health Czar. Expect to be experimented on as part of any vaccination process with or without your permission.
(E) The Secretary shall establish procedures to make beneficiaries and providers aware of the requirement that a beneficiary complete a health risk assessment prior to or at the same time as receiving personalized prevention plan services.
Just need your teeth cleaned? Well, here's a surprise for you. Expect to be screened as an 'organ donor' during the wellness exam with or without your permission.
You may further expect punitive measures for those electing NOT to accept certain vaccines or undergo an annual 'wellness' exam in the final health bill. At the least, refusal will likely terminate coverage and then the 2.5% of gross income penalty, such as specified in HR-3962, SECTION 59B above will apply.
For those of you who may think that the two plans are basically acceptable, then why is Congress exempting themselves from the same coverage? The answer: Because they're acutely aware of the health rationing, poor quality care and long waiting periods endemic in (and well documented) in other nations with similar health care systems, like Britain, Canada and Japan.
It seems the democrat health reform bill is to be a eugenics screening filter, intended to 'weed out the undesirables' from among the population, as determined by the Czar. As written, the bill's ambiguity grants far too much discretion for interpretation of the bill's language to the Health secretary and his underlings. It is a draconian plan of criminal intent at best and an act of sedition at worst. It is an overt threat to personal and civil liberty, and in functionality, not all that different from the medical practices of the Third Reich.
the health care is just the beginning for the government to begin controlling every facet of your life, i.e., telling you what you can eat, drink. this progressive administration with so many ties to marxis and commies want to totally change this country. we will see health care rationing, and they will find ways to exclude you from their crappy plan. i have talked with a lot of folks and only 1 person admitted to voting for obama. how did he get elected? probably the chicago voter fraud tactics!
Whole lotta buyer's remorse.
