There were “ok” arguments when the gov took over car companies, since the gov. gave them so much money.
There were slightly plausible arguments when the gov took over the banks, because they wanted to add regulations to prevent another meltdown.
There are NO good arguments for letting the gov. control your healthcare. Say it’s a liberal in charge (far fetched, I know), then what? What decisions can they dictate? Free abortions? No priests allowed in hospitals to visit the sick and give last rights?
This may have been in the works for a while.
A friend heard a couple of Physical Therapists talking about centers like these and offices run by Nurse Practicioners, PAs and PTs with advanced degrees in the past couple of weeks.
The friend had brought up the math problem of the new 40-50 million people under 0b0z0 care, needing medical care with no new doctors.
He was informed that wouldn’t be a big problem as many of the people now being treated in MDs’s offices and hospitals could easily be handled by new treatment centers run by PHD RNs, PAS and PTS. That would free up MDs for more seriously sick patients (probably younger).
When my friend asked who would these centers hire to handle the elderly and those move from primary care, he was told that the SEIU was ready with trained personnel to do these jobs.
For more info re the scary SEIU check out this link: http://www.seiu.org/splash/ and their ad how their Change Works.
Then my friend heard that many insurance companies were financing studies re these options.
We need to Abort 0b0z0 Health Care, before it does late term abortions on those of us over age 60.

Where was it- France, I think, several years ago, had 12,000 elderly die “from global warming induced heat waves” while in state-run nursing homes.
Bet it saved a pile of evidence-based medical cost!
Didn't Hitler call them ovens?
Excerpt:
The House health-care reform bill proposes to decrease hospital visits by establishing a medical home pilot program for elderly and disabled Americans.
Such a medical home would not require a physician to be on the staff, and therefore could be run solely by nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Medical homes also would practice evidence-based medicine, which advocates only the use of medical treatments that are supported by effectiveness research...
Does Stalin Oboma consider them useless eaters and therefore expendable?
The democrats in the house and senate are members of this new death cult. It would be a good idea to discuss this with the democrat voters you know, so they don;t forget this Universal Death Sentence bill in 2010. They, too, will someday be sent to one of the democrat death camps.

From there, there are links to other sites and to upcoming events, including this one, pertaining to this weekend.
Prime Minister Raffarin, along with many French doctors, weighed in by blaming the 35-hour working week, introduced by the Socialists, for creating chronic staff shortages as the crisis unfolded. Certainly, the 35 hour week has plenty to answer for, including a tanking economy, but this entire government appears to be in denial. You will note that every man jack of them is missing the point: No air-conditioning. Not even any ice. Ten thousand four hundred old people died because they couldnt lower their body temperatures.

As many as half the deaths were at nursing homes, which were short-staffed because many aides and doctors were on vacation and were overcrowded because many families had checked in elderly relatives and also headed off to beaches and mountains. During August, much of the nation goes on vacation, and it is common for elderly relatives to be left at nursing homes. Most nursing homes and hospitals lack air conditioning because of health laws. French authorities have long believed air-conditioning systems do more harm, by spreading germs, than good.

As far as we are aware, the publication of this estimate prompted only a little activity to investigate the specific conditions that led to the excess mortality, and no large-scale public actions to prevent heat-related deaths in the future. The general feeling that the only victims of the extreme summer temperatures were very elderly and frail people who would anyway have died within a few weeks (this is sometimes referred to as harvesting) may partly account for this equanimity.

Doctors and health experts, the people no one listened to during the heat wave, are telling a larger, darker story. The heat wave only made visible, they say, a crisis that had been under way for years: a chronically under-funded and understaffed elder care system combined with a national habit of shutting senior citizens out of sight and mind.
“The French family structure is more dislocated than elsewhere in Europe, and prevailing social attitudes hold that once older people are closed behind their apartment doors or in nursing homes, they are someone else’s problem,”

On page 425 it says in black and white that EVERYONE on Social Security, (will include all Senior Citizens and SSI people) will go to MANDATORY counseling every 5 years to learn and to choose from ways to end your suffering (and your life). Health care will be denied based on age. 500 Billion will be cut from Seniors healthcare. The only way for that to happen is to drastically cut health care, the oldest and the sickest will be cut first. Paying for your own care will not be an option.
