Timothy M. Dolan Elected Head of US Conference of Catholic Bishops

~ Pharmer ~ 1 Comment

Timothy M. Dolan to Lead Catholic Bishops’ Conference – NYTimes.com.

From the leftist position of the New York Times, choosing Archbishop Dolan as president of the USCCB is a conservative move.

However,  Archbishop Dolan does not appear to be an  actual conservative.

A conservative would recognize that Obamacare would destroy the goose that laid the golden egg,  and that has heavily funded the charitable outreach of the Catholic church.

No mention is made of the obvious fact that Obamacare  will make  our elderly and disabled citizens SHOVEL READY.

Medicare denies more claims for treatment than any private insurer.    The idea that Obamacare will expand coverage while taking on more patients, wasting more money in administration, and driving out health care providers, is a total joke.

Archbishop Dolan is quoted by NYT:

“We should have been doing cartwheels” when the health care bill passed, he said, because the bishops had long supported expanding coverage. But he said the bishops could not endorse the legislation because they concluded there were “unborn babies that were in danger.”

If  that quote is accurate,  it would mean that he’s Lost in the Weeds on this issue.

Soros: I Can’t Stop a Republican “Avalanche” – NYTimes.com.

Yep, Soros said it……… he can’t stop the conservative avalanche, and won’t stand in the way of it.

He still appears dedicated to leftist stances on  health care and the environment.

(The 80 year old Soros will  “save” the environment by ruining health care, thus reducing the human population. )

Miracle mom: Mayo surgeons cut her in half, cleared out her cancer – Winnipeg Free Press.

Once you read the story from the Winnipeg Free Press, the possible consequences of delayed diagnosis due to the inavailability of medical imaging in Canada become apparent.

Best of luck to this upbeat Mom, Janis Ollson who is bent on surviving and succeeding despite the traumatic surgery she has undergone to remove a tumor (chondrosarcoma) in her spine.

Other notable details are that the ground breaking  surgery, of course, took place in the United States, at the Mayo Clinic.

Sen Max Baucus wrote the Obama care bill but couldn’t read it.

The purpose of creating bills with language that the writers cannot read is to be sure that most  Amerians cannot read them also.

Britain Plans to Decentralize National Health Care – NYTimes.com

Britain Plans to Decentralize National Health Care – NYTimes.com.

Some of the control of the UK health system will be moved to the primary care physicians, who will apparently answer to “independent” regulators outside of the central government.

This is one more in a long line of restructurings designed to fix the problems of government run health care and its inherent inefficiencies.

What really needs to happen is more decentralization of the FUNDING and real privatization.

The UK is desperate for cost controls, and the new plan purports to put thousands of health care adminstrators out of jobs.

Time to Get Real About Obamacare (reprised)

MEDIA ADVISORY, March 11 /Christian Newswire/ —

Filling up my email inbox 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.

Many people incorrectly 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 funding for the 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 federal government to control other aspects of our lives, including expression of religious beliefs.

Sorry to the pro-life liberals, this pharmacist (whose insights stem from health care experience), is ethically constrained from signing on to any aspect of the killer-government controlled health care.

Ezekiel Emanuel Takes Aim at Phat People

~ Pharmer

Get ready for a denial of health care if you’re fat, because………. face it, you’re BAD FOR THE ECONOMY.   Hey, this isn’t coming from me, it’s coming from that Freakish  brother of Rahm Emanuel.

White House Adviser Rahm’s Older Brother: ‘Heavier People’ Bad for Economy.

Remember this is the guy who already has designs for selective distribution of the medical resources which will necessarily become rare under Obamacare.

Now, if you happen to be extra large, and considered a drain on the economy by this Ezekiel Emanuel, where in line do you think you’ll be standing for the allocation of rare health care  resources??

Obama Will Drop the Big One on America

and the dirty fallout will send the rest of the world to economic ruin.

Rush Limbaugh was explaining the reconciliation option,  and how it would work, on his show this past summer.   He said that this was the option they would eventually use to pass the Obamacare (with its Abortions and Death Panels).

So, once more,  Obamanator,  Rush was right, and your repeated campaign LIEs that it would have to pass with 60 plus majority are now viral on the internet, and available below.
