Good Idea, Bushie (NYTIMES ARTICLE BELOW),
'making insurance cheaper, but when 1) the HMOs have a stated intent
to just take over medicine from physicians, and that physicians had
just better get used to the idea (John J. Connolly of
CastleConnolly.com and the ALDF.com proposed this, and the evidence
that he published this is still in the "US Attorney" of Corrupticut's
office), 2) the MDs (AMA) don't support universal health care because
they won't be paid as much, and when 3) the AHQR.gov proposes that "no
MD can state his medical opinion in a court of law and instead must
only state what is the Evidence Biased Medicine standard of care:"
http://www.actionlyme.org/KLEMPNER_INVALID.htm
and if you look at who is running the AHRQ.gov (and the FDA.gov), and
that Kaiser is not only producing "guidelines," but training MDs at
New York Medical College (the syllabus and course structure for at New
York Medical College has "Kaiser-Permanente" stamped on the bottom of
it- yes the Corrupticut "US Attorney" has that data, too), and really
*are* taking over medicine in all aspects...
How could healthcare be cheaper if it is in the interest of insurance
companies to control medicine and not identify illnesses in order to
treat them, and then to obviously have people sink into catastrophic
diseases? You get more people on the Medicaid dole anyway, and fewer
competent workers.
To Wit: Yale owns a test for the earliest case of Lyme that is
scientifically valid, yet it is not in use and Lyme progresses into
every kind of known chronic illness, which it is why it is called the
"New Great Imitator?"
To Wit: FDA has guidelines for the validation of an analytical method,
but they disclaim their obligation to look at data submitted by
BigPharma as regards these very methods:
http://www.actionlyme.org/FDA_DISCLAIMS_JOB_RESPONSIBILITY.htm
To Wit: Not a single one of the Connecticut "elected representatives,"
either to Hartford or DC has ever responded to our complaints of
research fraud and harassment by Yale and NYMC, despite all the
hearings over all these years (Blumenthal's first Lyme hearing was in
Feb 1999). Such behavior on there part is the same kind of mental
illness that the Lyme cabal experiences.
To Wit: The NIH just dumped hundreds of $$ millions in grants to
about a dozen university based research centers, with the stated
intent to finally turn some of these research dollars into actionable
treatments instead of the typical Dole-Bayh Act profiteering that has
dominated the other half of this health care fiasco- the half that
isn't "Kaiser and the HMOs taking over US medicine."
The issue is not so much insurance costs but insurance fraud.
The stupid "US Attorney" we have in Corrupticut thinks insurance fraud
is when someone says they're disabled and then is seen at the
casino.
Convert that comparative scene of prosecuting mini-perps vs what goes
on at Valhalla New York into dollars. Perhaps we should rent the
office space at 157 Church Street, New Haven to the Goodwill or
Salvation Army for 2 dollars a month. We would get more of a value to
the community.
We already have the laws in place to prosecute these Vector-Borne
Disease Spinners, and Profiteers and BigInsurance perps. We don't
need any more Lyme bills or any other legislation. We just need the
FRAUDs prosecuted under the law.
When someone like John J. Connolly, of CastleConnolly.com, who
publishes "AMERICA'S TOP DOCTORS" goes to jail for insurance fraud and
racketeering, that should send a message to the others.
We are going to continue to insist these criminals are prosecuted.
When is that going to be clear? We're NEVER hanging this up until
these criminals are prosecuted under the law.... Even if it takes an
international boycott of all US research and products- including
BigPharma, and including ignoring international patents.
What can the US say to the rest of the world when they say to us, "You
people are incompetent, lying frauds and refuse to even administer to
the healthcare and corporate crime protection of your own citizens.
How dare you tell us we can't reinvent or reassess some of your
biotech patents if it means saving the lives of our own citizens. You
Americans have shown you are too insane and incompetent to even be
considered citizens of the world. What the hell is the point of this
patent frenzy if the US has no intention of caring for its citizens?
What the hell is the point of murdering a million Iraqis in order to
save them and bring them yours, this criminally insane kind of
'democracy' where the people get no care and the healthcare activists
are thrown in jail? In our view, such a country as the USA is
unstable, and therefore is not a country and is not entitled to Geneva
Conventions or UN Human Rights Conventions or any other acknowledgment
that your two-legged tool makers with speech and a written language
are humans, because you, the USA, clearly don't either."

Bush Says Democrats Risking Kids' Health
Article Tools Sponsored By
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: September 20, 2007
Filed at 6:59 p.m. ET
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush challenged Democrats on Thursday to
quickly renew a popular children's health insurance program and
accused them of ''putting poor children at risk'' for political
purposes.
The State Children's Health Insurance Program is set to expire Sept.
30. Democrats are pushing for a $35 billion spending increase. But
Bush has threatened to veto it and has proposed a $5 billion increase.
Some Democrats, he said, believe they can score political points by
sending him a bill they know he will veto.
The president urged lawmakers to send him a simple, temporary
extension that would give lawmakers more time to work out their
differences over a long-term renewal.
''If they fail to do so, more than a million children could lose
health coverage,'' Bush said at a press conference. ''Health coverage
for these children should not be held hostage while political ads are
being made and new polls are being taken.''
The state-federal partnership is designed to provide health coverage
to families whose income is too high to qualify for Medicaid, but not
high enough to afford private coverage. More than 6 million people,
primarily children, participate.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said a temporary extension would
lead to fewer children participating than what Democrats prefer. She
also said governors are seeking a more permanent resolution.
''I don't know what the point is of an extension. So that we can have
this conversation again and have another extension?'' Pelosi said.
''The moment of truth is now.''
The proposal that Democratic lawmakers support would bring total
spending to about $60 billion over the next five years, twice the
level sought by the Bush administration. Several Republican senators
voted for that spending level when the Senate approved a bill last
month. Negotiators are still working behind the scenes on a final
proposal, which is expected to come to a vote in the House next week.
Bush said he opposed a $35 billion increase because it would encourage
states to extend health coverage to middle-income families now using
private insurance.
''I believe this is a step toward federalization of health care,''
Bush said.
Democrats said their proposal does not call for a government takeover
of health care.
''The president hides behind the word 'federalization' because his
political base opposes doing what is decent and humane,'' said Sen.
John Kerry, D-Mass. ''The Senate and the House both approved
legislation that would extend health care coverage for poor kids, not
cut it back.''
States have flexibility to set eligibility criteria for participants.
New York, for example, recently applied to expand coverage to families
whose incomes are up to four times the federal poverty level --
$68,680 for a family of three. The administration rejected New York's
proposal. A doubling of spending would encourage states to expand
eligibility, according to the administration.
Rather than expanding the program ''beyond its original purpose, we
should return it to its original focus, and that is helping poor
children, those who are most in need,'' Bush said. ''And instead of
encouraging people to drop private coverage in favor of government
plans, we should work to make basic private health insurance
affordable and accessible for all Americans.''
The House previously had called for a $50 billion expansion that would
have been paid for by raising tobacco taxes and lowering subsidies to
private insurers offering Medicare health benefits. But the provision
to lower the subsidies was opposed by some GOP senators as well as by
nearly 20 House Democrats, making it more difficult to overcome a
veto.
The $35 billion increase is a compromise, with most, or all, covered
by the tobacco tax.
Pelosi said the House will return later this year to address the
changes that most Democratic lawmakers supported, including a cut in
payments for some insurance plans serving beneficiaries. Those cuts
would help pay for additional benefits as well as an increase in the
reimbursement rates for physicians who treat Medicare beneficiaries.
Those physicians now face a 10 percent pay cut beginning Jan. 1,
unless Congress intervenes.
In a letter to fellow Democrats, California Rep. Pete Stark took issue
with Pelosi's decision to deal with the Medicare provisions later. He
said portions of the House bill ''have been abandoned for rhetorical
and/or political reasons that are unclear to me.''
Stark agreed with Republicans who say a short-term extension will
occur before the end of September.
Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt said most states
would have enough money to continue their programs for a while even if
the SCHIP expires at the end of this month. However, he said about 12
states may not have enough money to keep going for a sustained period.
He did not provide a list of the states.
House Republican leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, said he supported Bush's
call for a temporary extension of the program. He described the
legislation to be offered by Democrats as flawed and partisan.
However, Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, said a temporary extension
leaves many children without health coverage.
''I talked to the president this morning,'' Grassley said. ''I pointed
out that his limit of $5 billion over five years isn't enough to
accomplish what he said he wants to do, and that's cover more kids.''
