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.

Thanks for the posting
Levin’s show doesn’t have as wide a distribution as Hannity and of course Rush. He is on Series sattellite 5pm cst till 8pm cst On the AM band here in the midwest he can be picked up rebroadcast on Detroit’s WJR am 760 at 7-10pm and rebroadcast 9-12pm WLS am 890 both stations are 50K powerhouses.
Boy that call better be an eye opener for those Obama/Romney care defenders. A neuro-surgeon specializing in strokes and blood clot treatments and corrections just got through attending a DC neuro/brain specialist insiders convention dealing with that aspect of Obamncare.

He related
All patients wil be considered “units” and units over 70 will not be recipients of their speciality. Because the decision to operate will be taken out of the surgeon hands and given to a panel of actuaries. Levin will return Monday very likely that call will be repeated by his subs and probably Monday.

Mark Levin said it was verified that the caller was who he said he was, a neurosurgeon. This call generated many other calls to warn us about Obamacare.

Another physician called Mark’s show and said they had a closed-door meeting where oncologists said govt. might put them out of business.

“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.”

Let’s all call our congresscritters, and also send them a link to this thread, or Mark’s show.

This is a ‘trash dems’ post - THEY ARE DOING THIS NOW... Newt isn’t. ObamaCare is....

The most nefarious aspect that is happening in health care that no one mentions is the electronic medical record EMR. The government is financially forcing hospitals and physician offices to convert over to EMR or they will get fined or not reimbursed by Medicare.
This will allow the federal government access to your medical information. They will know every detail that has been documented between you and your physician. It will allow the government to determine if you get care based on their treatment algorithms. HIPPA means nothing to the federal government. They can access your chart for national security issues.

One of the primary developers of the software for EMR is a company called Epic. The software package cost to a hospital is close to 100 million and like all software packages will require expensive upgrades. The company is privately owned. The founder is a computer science prof from university of Wisconsin and she had help from the people at Harvard to help with development. Orwellian medicine is here.

Unit is so impersonal.....how about calling us a “pre-corpse”

[alancarp]

IMHO, this should be moved to Breaking News under a new title. Something like ‘Doctors Being Briefed by HHS on Death Panels’ (Levin Show Caller)

[D_Idaho]

“pre-corpse”… I like it!

Interesting you say that, because I’ve long felt that if they “fix” Medicare that will ultimately take care of the Social Security problem as well.

[machman]

Maybe “post-person” would work too....

Makes sense to me.

Whenever the left takes over completely, the killing starts. Of course, the American left is composed of Americans, and there won’t be anything as messy as the Gulags or the Killing Fields or the Great Leap Forward. Heaven forbid - we’re Americans! Instead, our killing takes place at the edges, starting with the unborn - 30 million so far! All done in antiseptic conditions, too, unseen from most eyes, and performed with the legalese approved by the Supreme Court. Now the left can move onto the old, safely warehoused away, and murdered with the utmost care and concern in loving circumstances surrounded by the family as the doctors decide that life-extending procedures are too expensive and that the “unit” should be “allowed” to express “death with dignity.” I would guess the next step would be to decide that infanticide is all right, too, as long as the child is at a certain level of understanding below that with makes him or her a “citizen.” Court-approved at all times, of course.

God help us.

Heard it live, had steam blowing out my ears before it was over, others called in to confirm by way of things they had been told will be coming.

Thanks, Sweetiepiezer.

The caller was vetted by Levin.

Keep in mind, Mark Levin was the guy who broke the Solyndra story.

[justiceseeker93]

Not surprised by the term "units." The Medicare bureaucracy has been calling physicians (and other professionals) "providers" for decades. That too is not exactly a term of affection nor a term of appreciation.

Seems like Washington is developing an American version of Orwell's Newspeak, which goes along strikingly well with a government devoid of a moral value system.

Units unite! It's time for us to water the Tree of Liberty!
