Big Brother Health Care Provisions Slipped Into Economic Stimulus Bill

 

by Mike Adams

The new $800 billion economic stimulus bill contains some striking new **Big

Brother** health care language that should give pause to all freedom-loving

Americans. For starters, the bill requires the electronic tracking of the

medical records of all Americans. All your private medical data will be stored

in a government database, including your history of disease, pharmaceutical

treatments, surgeries and even emergency room visits.

 

How would you like the government knowing all the details about your drug

rehab? Or alcoholism treatments? Abortion? Sexually-transmitted disease

diagnosis? Pregnancy status? Blood test results?

 

But it gets even more interesting than that: Under the new provisions found

in the bill, all U.S. doctors will now be stripped of autonomy and forced to

follow the medical treatment guidelines dictated by the government.

 

This news should rock the medical world (once they truly understand it). It

means doctors can no longer make their own decisions about patients' needs or

treatment protocols. From now on, all health care decisions will be

centrally planned by a dictatorial, Big Brother health care authority in the

federal

government.

How to turn doctors into sheeple

architects of this plan, and he says that doctors **have to learn to operate

less

like solo practitioners.**

 

Any doctor that deviates from that plan would be penalized by the

government. That means, for example, that a local doctor who knows the patient

and his

family, and who is aware of specific local circumstances affecting that

patient will no longer be able to apply any of that knowledge in treating the

patient. All treatments will be dictated from the government, obliterating the

whole point of allowing doctors to operate with some degree of autonomy in the

first place.

 

Effectively, this bill transforms the entire U.S. medical profession into

nothing more than pill-pushing puppets. It wipes out the intelligence of a

local doctor and replaces it with the stupidity of Big Government.

 

If the government says all expectant mothers must be screened for depression

and put on antidepressant drugs, then all the doctors have to play along and

do that if they don't want to be fined or have their medical licenses taken

away. If the government says nutritional supplements are dangerous and cannot

be recommended to patients, then all doctors must remain silent and avoid

telling patients the truth about helpful nutritional supplements. Whatever the

government dictates must now be mirrored by all practicing doctors.

 

And don't forget: The U.S. government is largely controlled by the

pharmaceutical companies, and that means these health care dictates are almost

certain

to emphasize pharmaceutical treatments, disease " screening " and disease

mongering provisions designed to sell more drugs. You can count on there being

increased requirements for vaccinations (HPV vaccines, too) and mental health

screenings (psychiatric drugs, anyone?).

Communism is alive and well in America*s health care system

Americans asked for health care, but what they got was Health Communism.

There is absolutely no reason to believe that a centrally-controlled government

body has any ability to make good health care decisions for individual

patients across America. There is also no reason to believe the U.S. government

will safeguard patient medical data or even respect the privacy of patients.

This is the same government, after all, that has been caught routinely spying

on

its own citizens by tapping phone lines, emails, faxes and internet traffic.

 

If anything, the U.S. government has proven itself over the past few years

to be the enemy of the American people on the issue of health care. Just look

at the actions of the FDA in censoring nutritional supplement health claims

(_http://www.naturalnews.com/019366.html_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/019366.html) ), or the FTC in assaulting herbal

product companies

(_http://www.naturalnews.com/025303.html_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/025303.html) ). This

government is clearly dead set against health care in America, and the more we

put government in charge of making health care decisions, the worse the outcome

is going to be.

 

Obama cried **catastrophe** in urging lawmakers to pass this economic

stimulus bill. It's funny how fear is now being used to pass every

trillion-dollar

spending scandal in Washington these days. That's one thing the government

learned very well from 9/11 - fear sells. And it sold Congress on this stimulus

bill, too.

 

But in terms of health care, the only thing this bill is going to stimulate

is more disease, more dead Americans and more profits for Big Pharma. There's

nothing in the bill about ending FDA censorship, or teaching the public

about nutrition, or banning pharmaceutical advertising on television. All this

bill has accomplished is to spend Americans ever more quickly into financial

destitution and medical desperation. It is one of the final nails in the coffin

of American prosperity.

 

From now on, America will largely be defined by disease and debt, and the

Obama administration apparently has no answer to either one.

 

Watch out, folks. The government is here to save us.
