The Hidden Healthcare Provisions in the Stimulus Bill
You really need to read this.
Obama has hidden health care provisions in the stimulus bill that will drastically reduce the quality of our health care system. The scariest part? No one is talking about it.
Not only does it include a mandatory national health information database on every person in the country, it also regulates what doctors are allowed to do to save your life. These decisions will be made by the Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research with several goals:
-Slow development of health care technologies (under the theory that new technology is the reason for the increased price of health care)
-Determine what procedures can be performed based on cost effectiveness
The elderly will receive very little treatment based on a formula of cost vs life expectancy.
Forget if you have the money or insurance to pay for treatment, forget if you need an experimental treatment, you don't get it because the government's formula says so.
This bill is allocating more money to this monstrosity than to the combined Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force. The military is at least constitutionally justifiable.
Spread the word, tell your congressmen, we need to stop this now, or people will die at the government's hand.
