The former lieutenant governor of New York is warning that the $50 billion that President Obama expects to spend in the next few years on a nationwide digital health records system for every individual easily could, and probably will, result in rationed medical care.
They said patients might be startled to discover documentation on abortions, mental health problems, impotence, being labeled as a non-compliant patient, lawsuits against doctors and sexual problems could be shared electronically with, perhaps, millions of people.
Sue A. Blevins, president of the Institute for Health Freedom, said unless people have the right to decide "if and when" their health information is shared, there is no real privacy.

The former lieutenant governor of New York is warning that the $50 billion that President Obama expects to spend in the next few years on a nationwide digital health records system for every individual easily could, and probably will, result in rationed medical care.
WND recently reported on a little-discussed provision in Obama's plan that would demand every American submit to a government program for electronic medical records without a choice to opt out, raising alarms for privacy advocates.

Paging Florida....
And how would they keep up with information? By social security number having all your information on one big database stored at a government facility? Or would you need a digital microchip to store all of this information?
This one is very scary. I would contact every senior citizen, health professional and anyone else who cares about your health.
Meet the new medical fascism policies and the National Director of Elder-kill.
The Final Solution...
The *Health Care delivery system* (physicians, hospitals & pharmaceuticals) and *medical care payment system* (Private Insurance companies) were long ago nationalized by the FDA, HHS regulators, through Medicare’s & Medicaid’s use of private insurance contractor/administrators and subsequent control of providers’ fees and practises.
There is no way to unbundle this partnership - it is ripe for Nationalization at every level. Only those physicians who had the cojones to develop VIP concierge services will balk......but they need hospital privileges.
The best medical system in the world is about to go belly up.

What I mean about that is the following.
While attending the EAA Airshow in Oshkosh Wisconsin this past August, I struck up a conversation with a Canadian Aviator. He was discussing his health problems that took him out of piloting but he remained an enthusiast. When I quizzed him about flying maybe a new class of aircraft not requiring a medical ( an "LSA" ) or an Ultralight, he commented that his records with the government will also flag his health condition to DMV, and in fact he may also loose his drivers license.
With that said, when does the FAA start cross checking all medical records ( you sign the medical form and risk perjury and fines ) ditto that with the BATF in regards to your 2nd Amendment rights? These are just two agencies I can think of, I am sure they are more where this could occur.
While the "Freep Banned" article in Blomberg by Ms. McCaughey was a wake up call yesterday on talk radio, my fear this is just the beginning.

The biggest worldly entity to ever promote liberty in the history of the world is about the go belly up. United States of America, that is.
It’s not just killing old people. It is the aim of killing ME. Contrast Canadian Health Care with the “mean old HMO” I belong to:
a. End of July—pain from “kidney stone”
b. X-rays an HOUR later, but pain is gone.
c. TWO DAYS LATER someone sees “something on kidney”
d. FOUR Days later. MRI to see what is up
e. ONE HOUR later Ultra sound is free..get across hall
for another ‘test’
f. Phone call two days later. See specialist
g. One week later. specialist says he is scheduling
‘exploratory’.
h. Schedule 9/4/08
i. 9/4/08 “exploratory” results in right kidney gone
‘something’ was VERY early cancer. Study indicate
EXTREMELY AGRESSIVE type of cancer. If sympton
shows, it is ALREADY TOO LATE.
J. Complete recovery, feeling great in total elapsed
time of 5 weeks. Thank you “nasty” American HMO
Anyone prefer Canadian or English system of Health Care?
Anyone who thinks socialized medicine is the cure for what ails them ought to be made to spend some time in a country that has it.
“Complete recovery, feeling great in total elapsed
time of 5 weeks.”
As the daughter of Captain Amiigaf I am personally grateful for the present US medical system. As a further note, about 5 years ago my friend, who was orginally from England, got the terrible news that her dad (still in England) needed an emergency cardiac by-pass operation. He waited 5 months for that emergency surgery. HE DIED WAITING and my friend flew home to her former country to bury her dad.
My sisters and I are glad our dad is healthy and well.
Let’s keep Zero et al out of our medical decisions and the medical decisions of our doctors!
Sue A. Blevins, president of the Institute for Health Freedom, said unless people have the right to decide "if and when" their health information is shared, there is no real privacy.Another WTF from WND. Has Sue A. Blevins never heard of HIPAA? Are they repealing it or something?
Fox News talking about this right now. Megan Kelly interviewing Sen. Specter. He’s talking out both sides of his mouth.
The projections for boomers soon to be making demands on Medicare and the currrent illegals abusing Medicaid are the socialists’ impetus for this “Grab Bag” effort.
The healthy, working young will be forced to pick up the Socialized Medicine tab from payroll taxes. Employers will just send previous private health insurance premiums to the Federal gubmint.
Then watch the reduction of dental & vision care options, “life extending” medical care, more federally funded abortions and a prohibition on ‘heroic measures’ to save lives that are deemed ‘of no value’ by government bureaucrats.
Of course, the “wheeler dealer” scooter purveyors will love it! Scooters for everyone - the new form of transportation.
Yes. A three-bagger! Gets rid of unproductive old people, fixes medicare funding and solves social security.
The 2009 version of The Final Solution.
Make that a prohibition on ANY measures to save lives of no perceived value to the State.
