Mark Levin neurosurgeon caller: not yet released Obamacare plans - older folks called 'units'

Mark Levin Show ^ | 11/22/11

From Mark's website -

Also, Mark gets an excellent call from a neurosurgeon who gives an inside look on what exactly Obamacare will do. For example, instead of patients, some people over a certain age will be considered, "units," as they try to dehumanize patients and the care they receive.

In summary (and paraphrasing), Neurosurgeon was at a conference where they reviewed policies coming out of HHS. If you show up in an emergency room with a brain bleed (aneurism) or other such problem, are over 70, and on govt insurance, all they can do is offer "comfort" care. IOW, the "unit" is not worth the expense of surgery. But an "ethics" panel [Sarah was right, says Levin, it IS a death panel] of administrators could decide to authorize the care. Surgeon pointed out his 9 years of additional training and that the administrators don't know a thing about what he does.

He also pointed out that many of the tools they use have yet to be approved but they are allowed to use them under as a Humanitarian Use Device - IOW, gee, that's an interesting tool you have there, we'll take a few years to run it through our bureaucracy and see if we'll let you continue to use it. Doc said at least one HUD was yanked away from them.

Mark asked if the regs were public yet, doc said no. I'm not sure if the doc said the regs were in force or just proposed. Hopefully it's the latter as a lot of this carp is backed off once the sunshine hits it.

IMHO....ObamaCare has yet to be fully read and comprehended by anybody. It may even require computer interpretation to fully draw all the thread together. I have been told it effectively terminates Medicare by 2015-2016-not explicitly-obviously-but by the aggregation and enactment of several thousand rules and regulations.

Ezekiel Emanual MD the former White House consultant and NIH science adviser to the White House on health care HIMSELF PUBLICALLY STATED his advocacy of the Complete Lives System -a process for assessing who is “worth” society’s advocacy.

This what happens when governments are allowed to become involved in peoples’ lives and intimate decision-making. Some special few ultimately receive subsidized “special-care” -from the taxpayer-while those “unworthy” -except for their capacity to fund the “special-few”-are told to go pound sand.

Well, seems like after 70 might just be the time to take a few select trophies.

44:30 in will get you to it.

Show me your unit, and it’ll cost you a million dollars to get it back.

IIRC the ethicist behind Obamacare believes medical resources should be concentrated on those between 14 and 40.
