DEADLY DOCTORS: O ADVISERS WANT TO RATION CARE

NY Post ^ | July 24, 2009 | Betsy McCaughey

THE health bills coming out of Congress would put the de cisions about your care in the hands of presidential appointees. They'd decide what plans cover, how much leeway your doctor will have and what seniors get under Medicare.

Yet at least two of President Obama's top health advisers should never be trusted with that power.

Start with Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. He has already been appointed to two key positions: health-policy adviser at the Office of Management and Budget and a member of Federal Council on Comparative Effectiveness Research.

Emanuel bluntly admits that the cuts will not be pain-free. "Vague promises of savings from cutting waste, enhancing prevention and wellness, installing electronic medical records and improving quality are merely 'lipstick' cost control, more for show and public relations than for true change," he wrote last year (Health Affairs Feb. 27, 2008).

Savings, he writes, will require changing how doctors think about their patients: Doctors take the Hippocratic Oath too seriously, "as an imperative to do everything for the patient regardless of the cost or effects on others" (Journal of the American Medical Association, June 18, 2008).

Yes, that's what patients want their doctors to do. But Emanuel wants doctors to look beyond the needs of their patients and consider social justice, such as whether the money could be better spent on somebody else.

Thanks justiceseeker93 and dervish.

Did you catch this ( from her WSJ article) :

In a letter this week to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, White House budget chief Peter Orszag urged Congress to delegate its authority over Medicare to a newly created body within the executive branch. This measure is designed to circumvent the democratic process and avoid accountability to the public for cuts in benefits.

Talk about a power grab...

Do what? Can you say reparations?

And make no mistake that this is all in service of providing health care to 25 million+++ illegal aliens, ...

For several years the SS Administration has been overrun with young minorities accompanied by lawyers and counselors who were/are signing up for SS disability benefits since that the number of disabilities covered has been expanded. This has two purposes: 1. To obligate more minorities to the Democrats, 2. To overload the system (Cloward=Piven Strategy). Even now there are more young people on SS than old people though few know that.

The old folks are being squeezed out of both SS and Medicare in order to add more young minority voters who will be around to vote for much longer. Later, of course, it will their turn to sacrifice for the common good. Heh, heh.

The Muslim Messiah and Rahm Mengele have the same goals as the Nazis during the Holocaust; kill off as many as you can as fast as you can.

In this scenario, the "rightwing racist extremists" are the new Jews.

[BlueAngel]

The Emmanuels are a curse to this country. God help us.

[stockpirate]

We are not the new Jews. The NAZI’s at first targeted capitalists that were refusing to turn over their wealth to the NAZI socialists for the good of the collective. They also targeted other groups who resisted tax collection by the state.

unbelievable!

It is from Zeke Emanuel.

forward the article to everyone in your email address book.
These people need to be stopped now.

Ezekiel Emanual is a modern day Mengle. He will probably get the nod, should this thing pass, as the Commissioner, so he will decide who gets care. He has already indicated that we must change the way Dr.s view their patients to a point where people who cannot be "productive citizens" do not have care waisted on them.

Here is a link to the full House Democrat Health Care Plan in PDF. In Section 1233 E & F, pages 426-433, you find the part about mandatory end-of-life counseling for anyone over 65 years of age. Section 152 Page 50: All healthcare services will be provided without regard to "personal characteristcs" which is not defined within the document as is understood to include immigration status.

A lot more provisions now being documented at that site.

Also, here's a large image of the Democratic (Obama) Health Plan chart-another Obama empty promise. This is the one the House democrats are censuring. Email these links or the image to everyone you know.

Obama and all those pushing his radical agenda are abject marxist ideologues. Their "fundamental; change" is nothing more than a destruction of the American free market and fundamental republican principle.

I’m not talking about the fiscal ramifications, but the personal ones, how this DeathCare will single out groups that are “usefless eaters” as defined by the Obama-Fuhrer and his DeathCzar.

Old Jews, New Jews, ALL Jews have always been, and will be again, targeted by Fascists. As one of them, I urge everyone to fight this with everything they can.

We need to prevent this and tax clothing more.
