HR 3200, What I did and did not find....

So,my Math final is due this Saturday. Am I prepared? NO,because I have spent 99.9% of the last week researching HR3200 ( with the exception of brief bathroom breaks and the occasional pause for food.)

Okay,so I did in fact,find out the Pregnancies will be covered? To what degree? That is the question.

While reading this bill...(I have never read anything so vague in my life), I realized that more than anything,in my opinion,it seems to be a blank check for Health Care Reform or more,a blank check for power,the bill actually has very few coverage details. You would think that out of 1017 pages, it would be packed with coverage details,not so. What the bill IS packed with is bureaucratic double talk and lots of provisions outlining the framework for Health Care Provider payments,Reporting requirements and Disclosures,Education Scholarships, Health care Facility Staffing requirements and Sunshine Quality of Care Payments for Doctors (basically kick backs for keeping costs down. That is the main incentive to reduce costs,lengths of hospital stays and the number of re admissions.) So, in effect doctors will now be monetarily inspired to deny services and apprehensive to treat a patient for any extended amount of time. (since the faster your patients "heal", the more quality points the doctor will receive.)

Something else I found very interesting was the fact that Regulatory Secretaries will be appointed, such as experts in Bioethicis? Sound familiar? Remember my last post Ezekiel Emanuel and John Holdren,ring a bell? Under these secretaries, regulations and details of coverage will be made after their appointment and I am guessing, after the bill passes? "Ethics programs" and Regulations with then be put into place. A little scary since really Congress doesn't know what they are getting when they vote for it. It's like one of those discount surprise paper grab bags,you don't know what is inside,but you know it's value,it's a good deal,buy it!

Okay, so my fingers are practically numb and raw from continually scrolling through 1000+ pages and my eyes are so in need of rest from this computer screen, I can actually hear them squeak as my eyelids blink, they remind me of windshield wipers to trying to wipe a window that it not entirely wet,and they get stuck half-way across. ;) Too much info? I am so good for that...till we meet again!

Obama's Czars and their Political Influence...

So,we already learned about Cass Susstein,the Regulatory Czar whom believes animals should have the right to sue.

Now a little information about the Science Czar,John Holdren. Here are a few things he has been quoted saying in Books that he authored...

"Women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not;
"The population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs intentionally put into the nation's drinking water or in food;
"Single mothers and teen mothers should have their babies seized from them against their will and given away to other couples to raise; People who "contribute to social deterioration" (i.e. undesirables) 'can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility' -- in other words, be compelled to have abortions or be sterilized.
"A transnational "Planetary Regime" should assume control of the global economy and also dictate the most intimate details of Americans' lives -- using an armed international police force."

And the one that really sent me over the top....

“The fetus, given the opportunity to develop properly before birth, and given the essential early socializing experiences and sufficient nourishing food during the crucial early years after birth, will ultimately develop into a human being,” John P. Holdren, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, wrote in “Human Ecology: Problems and Solutions." Please tell me, are these not scary suggestions? What are the implications? How could his influence affect health care or has it already?

From someone who spent a good portion of my adulthood as a professed Liberal and Democrat (now turned Independent out of sheer fear), this is the stuff of Science FICTION novels or movies, isn't it? I mean, we already know that Obama tends to associate himself with some, whom many would consider, extremists. (Ayers,Susstein and Ezekiel Emanuel (Bio-ethicist) as an example.) If you are not familiar with their ideology,I urge you to research it! I personally find it threatening to our democracy as a whole and I have to ask myself,what could Obama possibly have in common with these guys? It's easy enough to say, he just happens to have a friend or so with this sort of mindset by coincidence,but when you look closer and see that nearly all his advisors and close friends are so far left,I don't even know where they would rank on the scale,as I can only think that the word "Communist" might actually be too mild a label for them,since their ideology tends to make Communism pale in comparison,you have to,at this point...wonder.

I need to go sort through the HR 3200 mountain now and get to the bottom of the Pregnancy coverage rumor? Anyone know about this? Rumor is,it will be limited to no coverage until after 6 mo of pregnancy. I will report on the accuracy of this as soon as I find out for sure!

Looks like yet,another lovely day!
