I dont see anywhere the advocacy of a Single payer system.
For starters that hasnt worked anywhere it has been tried, and RWJ is a pretty good business man, good eough to understand the fact, that single payer, means controlled payouts, equals less human resources in the field due to the renmoved capital incentive.
And here is how the money was spent last year
2001 Funds Distribution
| 17% |
$93.17 million for programs that assure that all Americans have access to basic health care at reasonable cost. |
| 17% |
$98.02 million for programs that improve care and support for people with chronic health conditions. |
| 20% |
$112.42 million for programs that promote healthy communities and lifestyles. |
| 28% |
$156.13 million for programs that reduce the personal, social and economic harm caused by substance abuse — tobacco, alcohol and illicit drugs. |
| 10% |
$54.12 million for other health and health care programs, including our workforce training programs and grants that are consistent with our Program Management Teams. |
| 8% |
$47.37 million for general philanthropy purposes, primarily projects addressing the Foundation's mission in New Brunswick, New Jersey, where the Foundation originated. |
That looks pretty respectable to me.
20% $112.42 million for programs that promote healthy communities and lifestyles.
28% $156.13 million for programs that reduce the personal, social and economic harm caused by substance abuse — tobacco, alcohol and illicit drugs. That's all well and good, but it's just a Talking Head. Speaking out of both sides of their mouths. Promote is not the same thing as RESTRICT and BAN.
The way they are using the word Promote is to CONTROL. I am against any means of control for American people. We are grown-ups. We can educate ourselves and make our own choices in how we wish to live our lives. It's legal.
Tobacco is legal and we choose to smoke a legal commodity.
Don't be fooled. Among other things, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation bankrolled HillaryCare. The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons found extensive evidence about its state activities during discovery when it sued the Clinton Administration to prove that the task force meetings were illegal.
One of the ten largest foundations in the country, the RWJF funds lifestyle control activities. It also funds state programs designed to make single-payer care a reality, create dossiers on everyone via the immunization registeries, create school-based health care centers that require parents to sign away their right to see their children's medical records, enlarge Medicaid, and generally herd everyone into HMO style care run by bureaucrats. Its past president greatly admired European health care. The Foundation typically works by giving state executive branches grants that require people at the agency to work on getting legislation passed. It created TennCare, Kentucky Kare, and the delightful health care system in Minnesota among other things. It has been extremely active in Oregon and Maryland. Both of those states have single payer initiatives on the ballot.
Lately it has been moving its activities to less easily traced centers, like University foundations. If you have one of those severe alcohol oriented lifestyle control programs at your state university, RWJF is likely behind it.
