As I have been doing different searches I have started to notice what I call a "financial creep of Islamic ownership" of different companies and special treatment for Islamic financial concerns (like the special Islamic no-interest home loans). I will post these as I find them.

The following ownership I find particularly interesting/troubling....let me know if anyone else feels the same...I am all for capitalism but Islamic ownership of the largest Medicare Home Healthcare Provider in the United States!!! The ties between the government and medicare and funding, etc. If an Islamic company owns the largest Medicare provider do they abide by Islamic laws Sharia, etc. or are they beholden to the U.S. Judeo/Christian standards? Read further you will see that they abide by the Islamic Shariah Laws, as do the companies that they own. Do Americans want to have a company that is the Largest Medicare Home Healthcare provider in the U.S. be under the auspices of Islamic Law!! Do we want this company to take care of us and our friends and loved ones?? Do we want Islamic laws to supercede our own laws...do we want our physicians to adhere to Islamic laws when providing our healthcare?

Oh S#it,,this scares me. No alcohol in the NH. Sharia in the NH. This is really spooky.

No, the US taxpayer will lose the money. The Medicare company will launder taxpayer money and use it for??????????

[all4one]

Yes, but since Medicare money comes from the government, it is really our money. Also I wouldn't doubt that they may have received some type of sweetheart deal because they are a foreign company buying a bankrupt American company. I don't know this for sure, but it is probably not out of the question.

Medicare is a small part of NH payments. Most is Medicaid. It is not a cash cow as it once was and the trial lawyers have made most people get out of the business.

I'm glad to see you started a thread on this. It needed a wider audience than just on the TM.

Thanks

[cajungirl]

Hm,,that worked. Interesting. Know anything about the senator on the advisory board. all the people appear to be Americans but the Islamic principles thing is on Crescent's web site.

I think Equifax is the business that virtually does all the medical records transmissions for big hospitals etc. I see them sending files to the government all the time. Big business here. And access to medical records.

[cajungirl]

I meant smart docs and medifax. They are deeply involved in medical stuff.

I am looking to find our who is on their board. I am also curious to whom they give political donations.

I find the medical records thing very troubling as well. Especially since our SSN and so much other personal info. in kept in medical records.
