Obama Now Controls Every Detail of Medical Treatment

obamacare

If you like your government health care, you can keep your government health care. If you don’t like it, you can try one if the doctors blacklisted by Obama Inc.

If you think you don’t have government health care because you aren’t on Medicare or Medicaid or the VA and you never even visited Healthcare.gov, here’s some bad news.

Once the government begins subsidizing a piece of something, it’s government property. And it doesn’t matter if you’re the one doing the subsidizing instead of being subsidized.

Once the needle goes in , it never comes out.

Standing between you and your doctor is a man named Barack who enjoys golf, long flights to award ceremonies in his honor and controlling every aspect of your life.

Don’t worry, he means well. So do his death panels.

Section 1311(h)(1)(B) of the health law gives the secretary of Health and Human Services blanket authority to dictate how doctors treat patients. Not just patients in government programs like Medicare and Medicaid, but patients with private plans they pay for themselves. On Dec. 2, 2013, we learned from the Federal Register that the rules are now being written. Starting in 2015, insurance companies will be barred from doing business with doctors who fail to comply. The rules will be offered in the name of ensuring “health-care quality,” which of course could mean anything.

“The powers given to the secretary are so broad, he or she could literally dictate how all physicians nationwide practice medicine,” warns Congressman Phil Gingrey (R. Georgia), himself a physician. Gingrey is sponsoring a bill to repeal Section 1311(h)(1)(B). Otherwise, he says, the HHS secretary — a Washington bureaucrat with no medical training — could, for example, bar doctors from doing routine mammogram screenings until female patients turn 50. In short, the federal government will be calling the shots on what patients get.

The rules have not been announced, but we have some hints from the president’s key health advisor when the Affordable Care Act was written, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel. Early on, he suggested that doctors take the Hippocratic Oath too seriously “as an imperative to do everything for the patient regardless of the cost or effects on others.”

That’s the whole point.

We’re not going to be allowed to have a two tier system in which people can pay privately for things that they can’t get under ObamaCare. It will all be ObamaCare or nothing put us on the road to single payer.

    Well said. It is a meta principle that every citizen should know. Along with the phrase “A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take everything away ” should worry people especially given the history of governments.

    In effect, the coup has progressed to the point that we are now under a dictatorship. As predicted by many who understood the Left’s rapacity for power, health care was turned into a fulcrum of political power for Obama’s Gramscian coup. If you dissent, you get no care, or you can’t practice medicine, but either way, you have no rights as a patient or doctor. You also won’t be treated for illness or allowed to make a living unless you submit, and even then you can be denied at the whim of a bureaucrat — with a political agenda.

    Britain’s National Health Service offers very poor health care, with waiting periods so long that up to 40% of cancer patients never get to see an oncologist. These patients are also the victims of stringent rules regarding pain medication, leaving many in constant agony. Not only are the odds of dying from cancer greatly increased by their single payer disaster, but afflicted Brits will die an agonizing death. At least you have the option for private insurance in Britain, as opposed to Obama’s Procrustean nightmare where you will lay on the death bed he designed for you, and suffer until you die. that is life in Obama’s utopia…especially if you’re conservative, white, Christian, Jewish, or refuse to keep silent about the evil that Obama represents.

    If one considers how much human beings desire to avoid pain, while acknowledging that pain is ubiquitous to the human experience, just imagine the sinister amount of leverage a government can acquire through simple denial. It is situational torture, but they won’t be culpable and we will be willing to accept many things we hate just to avoid pain, or see our loved ones get relief. If anyone reading this thinks Obama and his minions are above that level of ruthlessness, you are seriously deficient in obvious ways.

    There is a growing momentum within the fascistic Big Pharma/FDA Corruption Complex to regulate health supplements. The New York Times marrionettes, dutifully following the dictates of the state, have already begun attacking the efficacy of vitamins and supplements and portraying them as risky and dangerous, based on faulty studies, as usual. Even though the statistics clearly show that pharmaceuticals, even when properly taken, kill tens of thousands more people every year than do supplements, our benificent government is going to “protect” us from the horrors of cutting edge health breakthroughs. Why the attack on the supplement industry? Big Pharma wants control of the profitable supplement industry and doesn’t want competition from small entreprenuers. They also made a deal with the devil — aka Obama — when Obamcare was launched, and they expect some crony capital. More sinister, however, is the likelihood that the federal government doesn’t want people to have the power to stay healthy outside of their leveraging mechanism, Obamacare. If you want supplements, you will have to get them from the bureaucrats.The Left wants the denial of health care to be not only a mortal threat, but a mortal consequence. Comply or die.

          I was hoping you would have it.

          You made an assertion and it needed to be proved. We cannot take time to prove every statement we make, but we have to do so periodically.

          If this would have been the “Front Page” instead of “The Point” I figured we would have a progressive ask anyway although we have a few progressive evangelists and trolls there too.

          Anyway thx for the link which has more statistics on Murder Incorporated.

            I get lost in my thoughts and forget to link things. I wasn’t actually looking for that particular info, but it fit the point I was trying to make about the leverage a tyrant can generate by simply denying things we take for granted, like pain control.

            Pain control is something I am acutely aware of, since my wife suffers from some extremely painful conditions. We are frankly very worried about the ramifications of a vindictive tyrant, who adheres to two vindictive ideologies, with vindictive appointees, having total control of health care.

            My fault. You linked at the very very bottom.

            I read the 1st 2 paragraphs and not the rest. I can see why you are so exercised and rightfully so.

            I heard a study came out a week or 2 ago saying that vitamins were worthless and shrugged that off because the they say a lot of things about movie popcorn, Mexican food, Chinese food, bacon, coffee and then turn around and reverse the finding of studies with new studies.

            Point is my spouse is a big believe of fresh food and VITAMINS. Very much so. I’ll get that “hit piece” study and they will be loaded for bear.

            No, you were correct. I forgot the link until you mentioned it.

      Like FDR said nothing happens by accident in politics.

      You must believe scientific studies are political weapons if you believe in industrial-political complexes.

        In preparation of this take over of complete control of who gets care and what kind of care each person gets, which will be used by unscrupulous politician to genocide their enemies, the FDA has banned the sale of old tried and true over the counter remedies that we could use to treat ourselves without getting a doctor’s prescription. One especially egregious drug ban was paregoric which used to be a staple in everyone’s medicine cabinet. Paregoric was used to treat diarrhea, heart burn, irritable bowel syndrome and most other digestive tract problems and was so safe it was routinely prescribed for infants by doctors. A 39 cent bottle would last a family for years because it only took one or two drops in a teaspoon of water to CURE most digestive tract problem. Jimmy carter made it a sign for drug saying that Hippies were taking large amounts of it because it was an opium derivative, notwithstanding the fact that if anyone had taken a large amount of it they would still probably be suffering from impacted bowels because the main purpose of taking paregoric was to cure diarrhea. The first thing Bill Clinton did was ban the sale of paregoric saying it had not undergone the testing required of new drugs. The real reason was to his big drug company contributors could market their $5 per pill acid reducers which required a doctors prescription. and treat only the symptoms and do not cure anything. The long term use side effects of these acid reducers are just now being recognized. The worst part is that hospitals are now having to use Morphine to detox drug addicted babies whereas they once used the less toxic paregoric. The FDA is nothing more than a money making agency which sells approval of questionable drugs and procedures to the highest bidders and blocks remedies that do not require expensive doctor visits and dangerous drugs. We have been pushed into having to rely on this socialized medical system and now they can control who gets treatment and for what. Note that iodine is now a sign for drug, which will soon be pulled from the market. How many other reliable home remedies have you noticed that are missing from the drug store shelves?

          I have never heard of it. I’ll have to ask my old aunts and uncles.

          I also never heard of it being a problem, where I lived.

          Paregoric, or camphorated tincture of opium, also known as tinctura opii camphorata, is a medication known for its antidiarrheal, antitussive, and analgesic properties.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paregoric

          I have heard alcoholics abusing acid reducers. They like their acid reducers because the alcohol hot them harder. It actually makes their alcohol addiction worse.

          • MarilynA

            It doesn’t surprise me that you haven’t heard of it. It’s been 22 years since Clinton took it off the market. I have tried to locate it on foreign pharmacy websites and none of the newer pharmacists ever heard of it nor do they even know what it is. For anyone interested in making a fortune by doing the testing so it can be put back on the market I have the formula. I have an old 1983 PDR (Physician’s Desk Reference) that contains the formula. I checked the FDA site and learned that no tests have been done and none are scheduled. Doctors routinely prescribed Kaopectate PG for infants. PG stood for Paregoric. Donagel PG was prescribed for adults for various digestive tract ailments. Taking Donagel PG for a few days would cure an attach of irritable bowel syndrome. Doctors also prescribed it for indigestion and heartburn caused be Gall bladder disease. Acid Reducers only treat the symptoms. Paregoric cured a flare up of these diseases. Since Paregoric was taken off the market the incidence of GERD(acid reflux) which damages the esophagus and causes hiatal hernias has become epidemic. The FDA and our government does not care if people are damaged or suffer. All they want is the money they get for approving new and expensive drugs which may or may not result in death or other problems. If they did care there wouldn’t be a need for all these 1 800 bad drug class action lawsuits. Our country has become a third world country where bribes and payoffs will buy you anything. Even if it threatens people’s lives.

            Reading these posts feels like going down a rabbit hole.

            Except I do not see any tin foil hats. It is made from opium, which is neither here nor there.

            The Hindus, Chinese and others used it for a long time. the problem is the dosage and the druggists/pharmacists of that era were definitely American. If a little bit is good then more must be better.

            We should not though it out just because some people may have control issues.

            I’ll have to look into this more.

          • MarilynA

            I believe Paregoric was made by isolating that part of Opium that causes constipation and does not have the narcotic effect of pure opium. A person would have to take so much of it that they wouldn’t be able to take a crap for days or weeks to get even the slightest high from it. If drug abusers were buying large amounts of it, it was because they thought they could get a high from it, not because they could. The fact that it cured other digestive tract ailments that are now treated by expensive substitutes which only treat the symptoms and have to be taken for the rest of your life, was coincidental. paregoric was mainly used to treat diarrhea because it worked quickly and was effective. This is especially critical when treating infants because infants become dehydrated quickly when suffering from prolonged diarrhea. This reinforces my claim that this drug was taken off the market so the Big drug companies could sell their new $5 per pill acid reducers. I wonder how much Bill Clinton and his cohorts were paid the accomplish this. It definitely wasn’t done to protect the American people because all it has done is to put them more at risk from complications caused by long term use of these substitute products. Which are only now becoming evident.

            Reading wiki and the description of its’ action on the intestines and then on the esophagus, it looks good.

            The criticism was that the old medicines were needlessly complicated. I don’t know. I does seem to have worked and if no one could get high off of it, there is no reason to ban it. Anyway it is the week end so time to put in a call to my older relatives.

            “I believe Paregoric was made by isolating that part of Opium that causes constipation and does not have the narcotic effect of pure opium. ”

            ” camphorated tincture of opium”

            dictionary.reference.com
            camphorate – to impregnate with camphor.

            tincture
            1. Pharmacology . a solution of alcohol or of alcohol and water, containing animal, vegetable, or chemical drugs.

            Looks like it is not isolated fraction of opium. I am almost thinking that since they want to make everything legal they might as well make these drugs legal like in Colorado or Washington.

    The democrat party objective was always control. They couldn’t care less about quality or availability beyond their party leadership and cronies, they just want control over whatever health care there is. Like with the economy, they don’t care how small the economic pie is, as long as they have command and control over whatever exists, so they can to choose the economic winners and losers.
    Control someone’s healthcare and ability to make a living, and they’re pretty much owned.

    With all the affirmative action “victims of white racism” employees in charge of approving who gets care and for what, you can look for more and more of the “oppressive” class to be denied treatment. It would be called genocide if it were done to any other race but since minority leaders have expressed a desire to rid this country of the white oppressors I am wondering who they think is going to feed their non white rears when they get rid of all of us producers. I say this with all honesty. I have rarely encountered a minority government employee who did not treat me rudely or like a second class citizen. One such Social Security employee swore under her breath ( “Oh my God”) and made other derogatory remarks during our interview. For the record I am a retired business woman and a member of the Daughter of the American Revolution.
