Hello ObamaCare, Goodbye Grandma
The American Thinker ^ | August 19, 2009 | Stuart Schwartz

Oh, look! See Ezekiel. See Ezekiel Emanuel. Zeke is in charge of health care policy for the Obama administration. Policies are the official thoughts that guide the relationship of government and health care. Zeke thinks health care thoughts for the president and congressional leaders. Hello, health care policy.

Oh, look. See Zeke think. Zeke has not run a hospital. He has not run an insurance company. He has not run a medical practice. He has not worked in the pharmaceutical industry. Zeke has spent more than twenty years in education and government... thinking.

See Zeke think. Zeke specializes in thinking about "social policy" and medicine. Social policy is government management of services. Zeke heads a government department that thinks about who gets what health care treatments and when. He is the White House health care czar. And he has a medical degree and doctorate in social policy from Harvard, where brilliant people think. Think, Zeke, think.

President Obama, a Harvard Law graduate, shares Zeke's thoughts. Congressional Democrats praise Zeke's thoughts. Mainstream journalists and commentators praise his thoughts. Zeke's thoughts are their thoughts. Zeke thinks great thoughts. Hello, great thoughts.

Think, Zeke, think. Think and write. See Zeke write. His resume packs more than a fifty page list of articles, speeches and books. Read the articles, know Zeke. His writing provides the foundation for Zeke's "complete lives" approach to health services. Hello, complete lives.

Zeke created the "complete lives" approach to health care. A complete life is one that contributes in thought and action to the "instrumental value principles" of the greater community. Complete lives "prioritizes younger people" and lifestyles that are likely to contribute to the "common good." Hello, instrumental values. Hello, government.

Zeke thinks health care should contribute to the common good.

A “doctor” who hasn’t spent a day healing the sick. “Community” this, “common good” that. A real sinister character straight out of Jonah Goldbergs’ “Liberal Fascism.”

Dr. Ezekiel Emmanuel is giving Dr. Josef Mengele a good name.
Communitarianism is communism is socialism is Marxism.

The “complete lives” philosophy is evil, evil, evil. Hitler and the Nazis promoted essentially the same thing in the 1930s. Before the world woke up, 6.5 million Jews and untold hundreds of thousands of Germans had been eliminated because their “complete lives” were judged as expendable. How many will be denied care based on the quotes from Dr. Ezekiel Emmanuel's own writing? Dr. Death in one ear and Van "the Man" Jones, the communist in the other ear. No wonder Obamalamadingdong can't hear what the country is try to say!

“See Zeke link. He links medical treatment of those who are unable to live “complete lives” to government health care decisions. Zeke thinks those less able to live complete lives include the mentally and physically handicapped, the elderly, those with crippling illnesses, and those with “noxious” thoughts. They contribute less to community. Link and think, Zeke, link and think.”

Those with “noxious” thoughts? Would that include drug dealing gang-bangers? Prostitutes? Welfare recipients? Criminals in jail? Those with opposing political views?

This Dr, Zeke, were he not Jewish and a homosexual, would have made an ideal health minister under Hitler. I don’t want to hear about what a “nice, warm person” Zeke allegedly is—his ideas are positively murderous.
