The Obama stimulus plan may damage your health

Republican Senators have been questioning whether the Obama stimulus bill contains the right mix of tax breaks and cash infusions to jump-start the economy.

Tragically, no one from either party is objecting to the health provisions slipped in without discussion.

These provisions are the handiwork of Tom Daschle (pictured), who would have been in charge of the Health and Human Services Department until it was discovered he was a big-time tax cheat.

Senators should read these provisions and vote against them because they are dangerous to your health!

The bill’s health rules will affect every individual in the United States.

Medical treatments will be tracked electronically by a federal system. Having electronic medical records, easily transferred to a hospital, is beneficial. It will help avoid duplicate tests and errors.

Fine - but here comes the scary part. The federal government will tell your doctor what he can and can’t do for you!

The National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective. The goal is to reduce costs and “guide” your doctor’s decisions!

According to Daschle, doctors have to give up autonomy and “learn to operate less like solo practitioners.”

Keeping doctors informed of the newest medical findings is important, but enforcing uniformity goes too far.

Daschle says health-care reform “will not be pain free.” Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them. That means the elderly will bear the brunt.

Older people and those who are overweight will have fewer medical services available to them.

Britain already has some of these rules in place but they have had full socialized medicine for many years.

Barack Hussein Obama is catching up with the UK in one big leap and not enough of our lawmakers in Washington are trying to stop this travesty.
