Here you can find contact information for those who have direct control over the current health legislation, as well as the future of our health care system. If you think the legislation being proposed is a violation of your rights and a threat to your health, make a call, or send an e-mail and let them know!http://www.defendyourhealthcare.us/howyoucanprotest.html The White House202-456-1414 U.S. Congress202-224-3121 Senator Ted Kennedy202-224-4543 Dr. David BlumenthalDepartment of Health and Human ServicesNational Coordinator for Health Information TechnologyDr. Blumenthal has been given the responsibility of developing a nation-wide medical monitoring system, which will "oversee" the choices your doctor makes when it comes to your health. Diagnoses, treatments, and recommendations will all be recorded in this system and analyzed by the government. If you doctor refuses to be a "meaningful user" of the system, he or she can expect to be penalized starting in 2014.

This concept is keystone in socialized health care policies, such as those in Canada and the UK. In essence, comparative effectiveness research promotes devoting health care resources to those who have the most time left to benefit from them. To put it another way, those who are considered too old or too sick to truly reap the benefits from expensive treatments would be denied such care. Can this be where medicine is heading?Contact InformationDepartment of BioethicsNational Institutes of Health10 Center Drive, Building 10, Room 1C118Bethesda, MD 20892-1156 Phone: 301.496.2429Fax: 301.496.0760Email: bioethics-inquiries This is an informational website dedicated to concerned citizens of the United State of America.
