Ted the "Swimmer" (1932-2009) is
diagnosed with incurable brain cancer. His physician, as mandated
by law, refers his case to the Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research
. It's pretty much an open and shut case. At age 77, cost
effective health care for the 77 year old Kennedy is limited to an
overdose of morphine, so the emergency operation that will allow
his Senate staff to work him like a puppet for another year is denied.
But wait, that's not the ironic part. This is.
Because Kennedy has the cash, he's able to extend his worthless life
using black market medical care. Ain't that a pussy? This
sonuvabitch, almost entirely responsible for socialized medicine in
this country, is forced underground to avoid the penalty his own
plan would impose upon him. Catch 22 (million in the bank).
I give you the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology section of the Obamacy's "Stimulus Package," as recommended by the Three Dickheads. Limbaugh explains it ...

... But the stimulus bill, the job-creation bill (so improperly named) creates a "new bureaucracy, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology...
Now, this new bureaucracy will monitor newly digitized medical
records. There are rules-for-health care coverage in this bill,
and they will affect every individual in the United States. You
can consult if you want to go try to find a PDF copy of the bill you
can find the references are on page 445, 454, and 479."
Your medical treatments will be tracked electronically by a federal
system. Now, there are arguments back and forth about whether or
not this is a good thing. The opportunity for the loss of privacy
is huge here by digitizing and making everybody's health care records
computerized, especially having a major federal database where
everybody's health records are. Some people say this is a good
thing because it will assist in treatment, particularly in emergencies.
When you go in for an emergency, if they can get your records... Let's
say you're out of town. Say you're vacationing in Alaska hunting moose
and an accident happens up there, but you live in New Jersey. Doctors
in Alaska will be able to consult the federal database to find out what
your allergies are, what your treatments have been, what mistakes not
to make on you.
That's what they used to sell this. Anyway, this bill
computerizes everybody's health records. Then after everybody's
health records are computerized, this new bureaucracy is created, the
National Coordinator of Health Information Technology.
And he'll have a whole bureaucracy at his disposal that "will monitor
treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal
government deems appropriate and cost effective." You know, right now a
lot of you get all upset at your insurance company because they say,
"Well, certain things will be covered and others won't," and you want
it to be left up to the doctor. Try the government being in
charge of what the doctor can do, the kind of treatments that can be
extended to you -- and I'll tell you who gets creamed in this, is the
elderly. The elderly get really shafted in this, and I'll explain
why here in just a minute. Now, "The goal [of the National
Coordinator of Health Information Technology] is to reduce costs and
'guide' your doctor's decisions (442, 446). These provisions in the
stimulus bill are virtually identical to what Daschle prescribed in his
2008 book, 'Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis.'
According to Daschle, doctors have to give up autonomy and 'learn to
operate less like solo practitioners.'"
Doctors have to join the federal community here in dolling out
treatment so that it's fair and equitable. "Keeping doctors informed of
the newest medical findings is important, but enforcing uniformity,"
Betsy McCaughey writes, "goes too far. Hospitals and doctors that are
not 'meaningful users' of the new system will face penalties.
'Meaningful user' isn't defined in the bill. That will be left to the
HHS secretary, who will be empowered to impose 'more stringent measures
of meaningful use over time' (511, 518, 540-541). What penalties will
deter your doctor from going beyond the electronically delivered
protocols when your condition is atypical or you need an experimental
treatment? The vagueness is intentional. In his book, Daschle proposed
an appointed body with vast powers to make the 'tough' decisions
elected politicians won't make. The stimulus bill does that, and calls
it the Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness
Research (190-192). The goal, Daschle's book explained, is to slow the
development and use of new medications and technologies because they
are driving up costs. Rush Limbaugh, unedited
