=========================================

Well, it is very interesting that Bob Dole would now
speak out about this calamity, given what the Bayh-Dole
act has done to this and other countries:
http://www.actionlyme.org/CRYME_DISEASE.htm

Bob Dole gave us the McSweegan crimes:
http://www.actionlyme.org/GOLDWATER_LETTER.htm

You can't have stupid people -especially psychopaths - thinking
up biomedical products, obviously.


No, the insurance industry has caused great harm to this
country. With the news that OspA could be the next
stem cells (axonal protection and regeneration) - without
the destruction of embryos - and that tick saliva containing
something that shrinks cancers, how has the insurance industry
been necessary?
http://www.actionlyme.org

BigInsurance was behind forcing a Lyme vaccine,
OspA, onto the market with all sorts of lies to support it:
1) falsifying the diagnostic standard
http://www.actionlyme.org/FALSE_CLAIMS_CHARGING.htm
2) lying about the immune-suppressing outcomes
3) torturing Lyme and LYMErix victims (these actions
are what makes the Lyme crimes a real RICO.

It was KAISER-PERMANENTE, who landed a forward
base at the Catholic New York Medical College, who
ruined the health of this nation by insisting on a vaccine
for Lyme so that they, Kaiser, et al, would not have to treat it:
http://www.actionlyme.org/CRYME_DISEASE.htm

For all the people they've killed and maimed, and caused
to lose all their property and family, I wonder for
what reason we should save these mass-murderers'
jobs?

Can't they dig ditches and clean up the litter on
the highway like all the other criminals?

OVERVIEW

http://www.actionlyme.org/CRYME_DISEASE.htm
The Lyme crymes and the cabal - The 180s - are about an
intended monopoly on vector borne diseases "test kits" and
"vaccines" and could not have happened without the Bayh-Dole Act.

The monopoly involved Kaiser-Permanente (still at New York
Medical College training MDs) and the RICO deal was this:

"No one is allowed to have any illness signs nor is treatment to be
paid for,
until the alleged "vaccine" is ready, and then everyone will be
notified about
how serious that particular vector borne disease is, and that they
better get
the 'vaccine.'"

The vaccine, OspA or LYMErix or ImmuLyme, is Pam3Cys, and is actually
responsible for the New Great Imitator outcomes, due to the
immunosuppression
and activation of latent opportunistic infections including latent
viral infections and
mycoplasma (responsible for the fatigue, cancer and ALS outcomes, due
to
fungal antigen tolerance); Lyme is the Yuppie AIDS.

- - - - - - - - -

Please. Anyone who would protect or sell out to the
Bigs needs to commit Hara-Kiri. Republican principles
include that "Anyone who has not caught onto the FRAUD
game - cheat your neighbor out of their money- is an idiot
and deserves what they get."

Now, how was LYMErix intelligent or even clever?
Look what these crooks missed out on:

Germans got the OspA- CNS regenerant method and
in Brazil the scientists found a compound in tick
saliva that cure cancer. Germans also bagged MALP-2
or Pam2Cys as THE adjvant.


These ^^^ are *huge,* and we Americans did not win those
games because of Kaiser-Permanente messing around
with Diseases, Diagnostics and Treatment:
http://www.actionlyme.org/080430_RICO_CABAL_CAVES.htm
Big Insurance gave this gang protection while they
spun their bogus products.


It was **KAISER,** who landed their asses at NYMC and
made a deal with John Connolly, who founded the
ALDF.com RICO:
http://www.actionlyme.org/ALDF_BOARD.htm
http://www.actionlyme.org/CONNOLLY_FISH_WEINSTEIN.htm

For negatively affecting discovery in all diseases, what
good are insurance companies for America? Why do
they need to be preserved?

And is it because we Lyme victims were right about
EVERYTHING that no leader and no newspaper and
no media in America will ever run the story?

Are more lives necessary to sacrifice to the God of
Lies?

For what, *this* time?

What's to win by continuing to hide the truth about
"Lyme disease" and LYMErix (Pam3Cys, OspA)?
http://www.actionlyme.org/Pam3Cys_Version15.htm


We Americans keep losing out on all the big
discoveries, but the Repugs want to preserve
the jobs of the rapist-clerks of BigInsurance.

And there doesn't seem to be an economist
who can run the numbers: The value of discovery
on the international market vs the paycheck of the
clerks and whores of BigInsurance. We're not
even applying the usual principles here: We can
outsource the insurance clerks to Asia. The CEOs
of BigInsurance (AIG) gave us a trillion dollar bailout, and
their friends gave us a phony 911 war or two (Silverstein
and Zuckerman), and whaddya know, they're all
involved in the ALDF.com's disasterous OspA
actionplans:
http://www.actionlyme.org/ALDF_BOARD.htm


What we need is a Dot Guv licensing board for IDIOTS,
so at least if they're registered, we'll all know the
criteria to be a licensed registered IDIOT.

Starting Over On Health Care

Obama Has to Write His Own Bill

By Bob Dole
Monday, August 31, 2009

Health-care reform is the No. 1 domestic priority. With all the
charges and countercharges, those who will be affected, the American
people, are understandably confused. Many are angry. Reform of our
health-care system is a gigantic undertaking, but too many measures
have been drafted in congressional committees by liberal Democrats.
It's become too much for many to grasp.

After 35 years in Congress, I know there are times when a fresh start
is advisable.

If I were a White House adviser, I would suggest that the day Congress
reconvenes, President Obama's version of reform should be introduced
by Democratic leaders in the House and Senate. Health-care reform is
the vital issue of our time, and Obama should be out front with his
specific plan on this make-or-break issue.

Many of us were taught that the president proposes and Congress
disposes. Today, Congress is doing both -- with the president
relegated to the role of cheerleader in chief as he campaigns for
various House committees' efforts. Certainly, Obama supports much in
these proposals -- but Barack Obama is our president, not a
commentator.

Obama's approval numbers would jump 10 points if Americans knew he was
fully in charge. A tactical move of introducing his own plan would
also stir more Republicans to become active for reform in critical
areas. Right now the president's biggest problem is with congressional
Democrats, who are split and searching for a way out of the medical
wilderness.

In short, the president, Congress and the public are choking on all
this, and choking is not covered by the legislation.

When I served as Senate Republican leader, I recall President Ronald
Reagan telling me after he'd sent a bill that I would introduce that
he wanted it all -- but that if I could get 70 to 80 percent, to run
with it, and he would try to get the rest later. Neither Reagan nor
Obama has been considered a master of Congress, but both are known for
their great popularity and for understanding the art of reaching for
more than they could reasonably expect. Now, consider this: Members of
Congress want to keep their jobs. They support their president, but
they also want to be employed, with a good health plan (like the one
they enjoy now), after this president or even the next has come and
gone. So votes on this issue are not simply partisan. They are also
about survival. Most lawmakers, Republican or Democratic, will think
long and hard before casting this vote -- to avoid backing into a buzz
saw.

Once the president has staked out his position, which will provide
room for amendments, the debate will narrow, and bipartisan bargaining
and other political maneuvering can begin.

The goal is getting legislation without driving certain private
sectors, such as the health-insurance industry, out of business.
Issues such as administrative costs and coverage for those with
preexisting conditions can be resolved without any "public option" or
the "co-op" provision under discussion. All of these can be postponed
for five years or more. If the industry has not shown marked
improvement by then, reforms could be imposed because most of the
proposed legislation, if passed, would not be implemented for three to
four years in any case. I believe the industry is responsible and
would clean up its act, as needed, as soon as possible.

Along with former senators Howard Baker and Tom Daschle, I serve on
the advisory board of the Bipartisan Policy Center, a group searching
for common ground on health care, energy, agriculture, transportation
and national security. After more than a year of work on health care,
we made our recommendations public in June. We were assisted by many
experts, including Chris Jennings, President Bill Clinton's top health
adviser, and Mark McClellan, who headed the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services and the Food and Drug Administration under President
George W. Bush.

Out of Congress now, we have no votes and no power -- but we have our
credibility. It is pleasing that many lawmakers, particularly the
Senate Finance Committee leaders, Democrat Max Baucus and the GOP's
Chuck Grassley, have looked favorably upon some of our
recommendations.

Having watched Congress tackle health reform before, I think it best
to avoid the "reconciliation" process, by which part of a plan could
be written into legislation that requires 51 votes, and not 60, on its
way to passage. This president may be up to his ears in Democratic
votes, but I suspect that many will not vote for a bill put forth
through reconciliation.

Republicans have different ideas but for the most part are positive
about reform if the government has a minimal role. Democrats would
eventually regret it if Republicans are forced to take a nearly party-
line vote. Obama should get the credit if legislation passes but, more
important, get the blame if final legislation draws only a few GOP
votes and brings more taxes, more government and more spending .

A bipartisan ending will have more credibility with the American
people. Indeed, most important legislation in U.S. history has had
broad bipartisan support. As a supporter of bipartisan health reform,
I hope the president has gotten some rest in the past week. I also
hope he puts the final touches on his own health bill. I'd bet a
bottle of aspirin that it would cure many of his headaches.
