Guest guest Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 I read those links. Neither changed my mind. It's all open to interpretation, which is why it is written that way. They go to great lengths to deceive us through the language. The other day a poster here wrote a explanation of why not to take echinacea with a hemorrhagic fever - a complicated thing to explain, yet he did it very well and in a way that anyone can understand plainly what he was saying. The opposite is true with this bill. It's a mammoth effort to obfuscate - because deception is necessary to sell this evil. All this language is left open, intentionally needing interpretation, meant for a judge, court or appointed official to make a precedent setting interpretive ruling on an easily manufactured case. This bill will also be the usher that brings CODEX enforcement to the USA. They complement each other like a hand and glove. And whats to happen to the present boogeyman - the " insurance company hack " ? I'll predict the same thing that has happened in the other areas the trojan horse is bringing " change " to.... He will be given a position of increased power and status --- in the government healthcare system! As with everything else done by this administration to date, the foxes that are guilty of causing the original damages will be put in charge of the henhouse. In a nutshell, this bill means government healthcare will be run by big pharma. While writing this, a song has started playing in my mind... Oh, painting the roses red And many a tear we shed Because we know They'll cease to grow In fact, they'll soon be dead And yet we go ahead Painting the roses red - kcpopps oleander soup , " ohlisa1 " <lmcdewey wrote: > > No, not true > http://snopes.com/politics/medical/euthanasia.asp > also > http://firebrandblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/cry-wolf.html > national health scare is right. this bs probably came from some insurance company hack. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 You know, there are times when I have seen that snopes is not accurate. And this is one.I have read the Bill, various links, and the link provided to the blog with interest. One glaring sentence in the blog jumped out and it made me cringe."... and one of the most shocking things I found in this bill - and there were many - is on page 425 where the Congress would make it mandatory, absolutely required, that every five years people in Medicare have a required counseling session that will tell them how to end their life sooner. How to decline nutrition, how to decline being hydrated, how to go into hospice care..." At the end of this quote the blogger goes on to state..... "Um, no." I am here to state, "Um, yes." And I will tell you why. My recent visit to the State of California, especially the hospital, was very enlightening. I have heard that California is the first to implement these healthcare changes. I don't know what the policy is in other states, so I cannot say this for sure. However, I was in California. I was in the hospital there, and what I witnessed was very disturbing.First of all, when I was admitted into the hospital, they thought that there was something seriously wrong with me. Much more serious than a pulmonary infection and asthma. For one thing, I was put on the floor for lung cancer patients. While there, I observed many interactions between doctors and patients and as I felt better, I was able to walk around and personally visit with the patients there.One of the big changes coming to our country is facilitated deaths which are to be done under the guise of hospice care. No, let me rephrase that. The truth is that facilitated deaths are already here. I know for a fact that it is being implemented in the State of California.Take a look at the portion of the quoted text that is in bold. This is one of the ways that they are doing it. By withholding nourishment. In a conversation with one of the patients daughter's, hospice care came up. Her mother happened to be my roommate. Under professional advice, it was recommended that she put her mother in hospice. There are two blessings in this particular situation. The first is that the daughter elected to care for the mother at home. The second is that she had the freedom to be able to remove her from the "hospice" situation. Her major complaint was that she was instructed not to give her mother food or liquids unless she specifically asked for them. And you know, I guess not knowing better and trusting that these people knew what they were talking about, she complied. After day 4 of very little to no nourishment, yes, her mother was dying. She took one look at her and saw the drastic change, the graying skin, and became overcome with panic. After finding it necessary to remove her from hospice, she called an ambulance to have her brought to the hospital. The problem was dehydration. Once hydrated, she started eating normally and regained normal skin color.Through the hospital curtain, I witnessed a conversation between the daughter and her mother's doctor where the daughter described what had transpired during hospice and the doctor's reply was to state that older patients are put into hospice earlier than needed and that "hospice tends to facilitate death." Then he said...... "Your mom still has a lot of life left in her." Well, there is still honesty in the medical profession. Some still do have a heart.I am afraid that the proposals in this Bill are not only about to happen but that they are already occurring in some parts of the country. Either the blogger referenced in the prior post is grossly misinformed or she is purposely deceiving the public. And this is mainstream medicine's and mainstream media's main tactic. To slyly deceive the public.At this time more than ever we need common sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 With all due respect to and my other comrades on this forum, you really should investigate this issue a bit further and you will find that it has been blown out of proportion and frought with misunderstanding by the folks who are afraid of health insurance changes. It is my understanding from investigating this that it is simply a way for people to be counseled about end of life issues and perhaps set what is called an Advanced Directive, or what your wishes are regarding whether you want to be on life support. I have a legal document that was drawn up specifically stating my wishes....that I do not wish to be sustained by artificial life supports if I am declared brain dead or in a permanent coma. Perhaps some folks would want life support, so that would be your directive. Everyone should have this so your relatives know what you wish. Somehow this has gotten twisted into the government forcing older Americans to check out early in order to save money. This is ridiculous paranoia. Obama has stated that this part of the bill would easily be dropped if people continue to fear it or be so upset by it. No one is going to force-euthanize grandma-- Please educate yourself, dig a little deeper and then maybe have a rational discussion about this.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Hi Dan, The directives to which you reference have been in effect for a very long time. My mother had the same Advanced Directives and she chose to be listed as DNR. As a sidenote, the hardest thing I ever had to do was respect those wishes and stand by while a heart attack took her. She was also in hospice at home, so I am very familiar with how hospice works. At no time was I given instructions with regard to not feeding or hydrating her. In fact, even to the last day I would do whatever it took to feed her. I understand that when in hospice, there is a limit as to what type of care a patient will receive. For example, I knew that I could not call an ambulance should it be required. Also, please realize that back then, I knew nothing about natural health. I was the best mainstream "little nurse" that you could imagine and I look back on those days with regret. But with the tools I had I did the best I could. However, this bill goes one step further. The lady I referenced knew deep in her heart that something was wrong. Why would they advise her not to prepare meals for her mother? And why would a doctor acknowledge that "hospice facilitates death?" Those are very strong words. And thank goodness for his honesty. We have entered a new day and time where the goal of our government is to control the population, not only with regard to healthcare but in all areas. And the time is very, very near. CODEX is just around the corner. We are about to lose our freedom of choice, freedoms that are now quite limited. You know, you may think I'm paranoid, but my opinion is that the counseling being offered to older Americans is actually "brainwashing" or indoctrination.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 dan, you're absolutely incorrect. we don't need a trillion dollar healthcare bill to compel people to have an advance directive drawn up. a minor tweak to medicare would accomplish that goal by making it one of the requirements to receive medicare treatment. i am a 30 year old male and i have had an advance directive since the horrible case involving terri schiavo. it is easy and inexpensive, and imo, every adult over 18 should have one. it is absolutely NOT paranoia and it absolutely IS the government forcing older people to " check out early. " much of the funding for this bill comes from medicare cuts. at a time when doctors are refusing new medicare patients already, i hardly think that now is the time to cut the programs and the amounts paid to doctors even further. funding cuts plus a medical standards board that determines the course of treatment rather than your doctor plus long waits to receive needed treatments will result in an increased mortality rate among the elderly. we have seen it in canada. we have seen it in britain. we will see it in america if this bill becomes law. obama seeks to cover upwards of 40 to 50 million new people. where are the extra doctors, nurses and other professionals going to come from? neither the obama white house nor anyone on the capitol hill have proposed anything to add to the supply of medical services even as they plan vastly to increase the demand.end result? rationing. rationing that will make the group who need it the most, our elderly, wait in line when their time is running out. the mortality rate in canada from advanced colon cancer is 41 percent. the mortality rate in the united states? 32 percent. the average wait time in canada for a colonoscopy? 8 months. this isn't about right vs. left. this is about right vs. wrong. unemployement is spiraling out of control, we are losing hundreds of thousands of jobs a month, people are losing their homes and their cars, and we are still fighting two foreign wars. healthcare reform is NOT the most pressing matter at this time. oh, and has anybody thought of the thousands of jobs lost and the billions of dollars that will vanish from our economy when the private health insurance industry disappears due to the public option? this bill will destroy our healthcare system. our system is far from perfect, and it definitely needs some serious work, but turning us into canada isn't the solution. if the canadian system was so amazing, then americans would cross the border to seek treatment there, not the other way around. blessings from reno, sean.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hospitals and doctors have been helping people die faster for a very long time just by withholding treatment or water and food. More health care is used by people in the end stages of life than was used in their entire lifetime before. The prolonging of the life of someone who is essentially dying of old age may give them a small measure of time, but it uses a large amount of health care that could be used to help those who are not terminal. Hospice care is for people who are terminal and should be reserved only for those who are. When I lived in Albuquerque I met a woman who was living on the street while dying of cancer. She was no longer able to work so had no income or health insurance and had lost her home and been thrown out of the hospital so the street was her only option. She had tried to get into hospice but there was no way to pay for it. This happens to more people than you might imagine. Health issues are one of the causes of homelessness, and that is not restricted to alcoholics and drug abusers. If you think that we do not have rationed health care now, you would be mistaken. The California Supreme Court ruled a few years ago that Kaiser could refuse to treat a woman who died as a result of the denial because cost containment was a legitimate consideration. People can be denied a useful treatment because the insurance company defines it as experimental even when its effectiveness has been established. And then there is the preexisting condition which most insurance companies refuse to treat. Right now around 22,000 people die every year because they have no health insurance. Those are all forms of rationing. When Medicare was proposed the arguments against it were the same ones we are hearing now. Euthanasia was predicted to become common under Medicare. oleander soup , Maracuja <howdurdago wrote: > > Dearest , Please may I share this with others?

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Greetings - Thanks for clarifying things a bit. I'm sorry for what you went thru. I am a social worker and have volunteered my services at 2 different hospice facilities so I too am familiar with their programs, although they can vary from state to state. My mother didn't have a Directive when she was passing, so the family had to talk with her about her wishes for the whole DNR thing. It was SO painful to do! Fortunately, we didn't have to make that decisionat the end. Regarding this proposed new health care bill, the way I understood it was that Medicare would pay for a visit with the doctor of YOUR choosing to go over end of life issues, if you wanted it. Hopefully, that doc would be someone that knew the patient and family well and had their best interests at heart. But I'm sure this will be dropped from the bill because of its controversy. BTW, I am also a bit paranoid about the things our gov't does/can do so I know we need to be on our toes!

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 A voice of reason and facts! Good job, Ruth. Denying treatment and claims are what insurance companies do as a matter of course. They ration, and decide who gets health care.

The prolonging of the life of someone who is essentially dying of old age may give them a small measure of time, but it uses a large amount of health care that could be used to help those who are not terminal. > > Hospice care is for people who are terminal and should be reserved only for those who are. When I lived in Albuquerque I met a woman who was living on the street while dying of cancer. She was no longer able to work so had no income or health insurance and had lost her home and been thrown out of the hospital so the street was her only option. She had tried to get into hospice but there was no way to pay for it. This happens to more people than you might imagine. Health issues are one of the causes of homelessness, and that is not restricted to alcoholics and drug abusers. > > If you think that we do not have rationed health care now, you would be mistaken. The California Supreme Court ruled a few years ago that Kaiser could refuse to treat a woman who died as a result of the denial because cost containment was a legitimate consideration. People can be denied a useful treatment because the insurance company defines it as experimental even when its effectiveness has been established. And then there is the preexisting condition which most insurance companies refuse to treat. Right now around 22,000 people die every year because they have no health insurance. Those are all forms of rationing. > > When Medicare was proposed the arguments against it were the same ones we are hearing now.

My recent visit to the State of California, especially the hospital, was very enlightening. I have heard that California is the first to implement these healthcare changes. I don't know what the policy is in other states, so I cannot say this for sure. However, I was in California. I was in the hospital there, and what I witnessed was very disturbing. > > > > First of all, when I was admitted into the hospital, they thought that there was something seriously wrong with me. Much more serious than a pulmonary infection and asthma. For one thing, I was put on the floor for lung cancer patients. While there, I observed many interactions between doctors and patients and as I felt better, I was able to walk around and personally visit with the patients there. > > > > One of the big changes coming to our country is facilitated deaths which are to be done under the guise of hospice care. No, let me rephrase that. The truth is that facilitated deaths are already here. I know for a fact that it is being implemented in the State of California. > > > > Take a look at the portion of the quoted text that is in bold. This is one of the ways that they are doing it. By withholding nourishment. In a conversation with one of the patients daughter's, hospice care came up. Her mother happened to be my roommate. Under professional advice, it was recommended that she put her mother in hospice. There are two blessings in this particular situation. The first is that the daughter elected to care for the mother at home. The second is that she had the freedom to be able to remove her from the " hospice " situation. > > > > Her major complaint was that she was instructed not to give her mother food or liquids unless she specifically asked for them. And you know, I guess not knowing better and trusting that these people knew what they were talking about, she complied. After day 4 of very little to no nourishment, yes, her mother was dying. She took one look at her and saw the drastic change, the graying skin, and became overcome with panic. After finding it necessary to remove her from hospice, she called an ambulance to have her brought to the hospital. The problem was dehydration. Once hydrated, she started eating normally and regained normal skin color. > > > > Through the hospital curtain, I witnessed a conversation between the daughter and her mother's doctor where the daughter described what had transpired during hospice and the doctor's reply was to state that older patients are put into hospice earlier than needed and that " hospice tends to facilitate death. " Then he said...... " Your mom still has a lot of life left in her. " Well, there is still honesty in the medical profession. Some still do have a heart. > > > > I am afraid that the proposals in this Bill are not only about to happen but that they are already occurring in some parts of the country. > > > > Either the blogger referenced in the prior post is grossly misinformed or she is purposely deceiving the public.
