Obamacare Endgame: Doctors Will be Fined or Jailed if they Put Patients First

If ObamaCare is completely implemented, doctors will no longer be practicing medicine. They will instead become the drones tasked with deciding who gets the meager healthcare crumbs doled out by the bureaucrats who have the ultimate power over patient life and death. Those who are deemed to have illnesses that require treatments which are not cost effective can expect a one way ticket to a hospice.

Like so many bills passed by Congress, there was a hidden provision in the Stimulus bill passed in 2009. It spends 1.1 billion dollars to create an important piece of the framework for the healthcare bill called the Coordinating Council on Comparative Effectiveness Research. It is based on the false premise that doctors in consultation with their patients don’t have the ability to make the right healthcare choices. The council consists of 15 people appointed by the President.

They all have one thing in common–they are all isolated from day to day patient care; and therefore, are insulated from the real practice of the art of medicine. It makes it easy to see patients as a cost center to be controlled. With views of members like Dr Emanuel, who champions the complete-lives system, it is hard to ignore the probability that senior citizens, those with chronic illness, and the very young will be on the outside looking in. This council is another example of the people of this country being told by the government that it knows what is best for us.

Who actually wrote the healthcare bill????
In the (Great Falls) Tribune, Sen. Max Baucus was credited with writing the health care bill. Later, the Tribune stated Baucus didn’t write the bill. I read a quote where Baucus said: “Look, I don’t think you want me to waste my time reading every page of the health care bill. You know why? It’s statutory language. We hire experts.”
With all the misinformation from emails and blogs, it is hard to know what to believe.
I sent an email to Baucus asking who wrote the health care bill. No answer. I then called his Great Falls office, asking the same question. I received an email from Baucus, stating all the positive things in the bill but still, no answer to my question.
I called Baucus’ D.C. office and asked a staff member: “Who wrote the health care bill”? She told me Senator Baucus wrote it. When asked if he wrote the entire 2,000-page bill, she replied that Baucus and his staff wrote it. When questioned further, she indicated there were other people involved. I asked her to please find out who wrote the bill and send me an email. My question is still unanswered.
I am wondering if Baucus knows who wrote the health care bill. Maybe he knows but doesn’t want to tell us. Maybe if lots and lots of people called or emailed Baucus, he could find time to let us know who wrote the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

Troy, the Republican's wanted to work with the Democrat's on the obamacare but they wouldn't give them the time of day!! Obama set down with both party's live on C-Span a few weeks before the vote but it was a big joke, he cut off Republicans, gave Democrats more time to talk while skipping some Republicans all together. Obama even told Sen. Tom Colbern M.D. from Oklahoma that he had some great ideals and he would set up a meeting to go over some changes from the Republican's side before taking it to vote. Well I can tell you for a fact that call, meeting or changes with Sen. Colburn never happened and to this day Obama has not made good on what he said on live TV!!! That live C-Span was just a front to make it look like Obama and the Democrat's were trying to work with the Republicans but it was just one big fake show by Obama and his cronies!!

What do you expect? Congress and the elitists in the executive Branch are covered for life. It is the rest of us in the proletariat (sp?) who will have to compete for the leftovers with the entitlement parasites and illegals. After all, the concept of redistribution of wealth (or health care) does not apply to the elite. No more middle class shouts the annointed one–just the haves and have nots!!! Too bad we were not born into privilege like Barack, Pelosi, Reid, Slobbering Barney and the Washington insiders.

May all of the politicians, both house and senate members as well as executive branch members and members of the Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research be the very first to be denied couverage as not cost effective, It would be great if they reaped what they have sown.

You know what makes me angry. How really stupid we the people are. THE GOVERNMENT IS THE PEOPLE!!!!! The officials that we let run it work for us, when are we going to make them see that. We need to clean house and let them know we are not going to stand for them destroying our country from the inside.

The hospitals need be be accounted for. They charge outrageous fees,citizens need to price before going to a hospital. No one is looking into this. Obamacare needs to be NULL and VOID ,ASAP. It is unconstitutional. Obama should be impeached!
This president is not legal and he should be in prison, not Lt. Terry Lakin.

I hope this is only God showing us to take an interest in who we elect, but I fear we are close to the end. The assurance is either they will get saved or they are doomed. I hate to hear them talk about faith and then pass the laws they do. It tells me they know nothing about what is in the Bible. My Dad was a preacher and he told me not to judge, but he also told me God didn't say you couldn't be a fruit inspector and their fruit is spoiled!!

I was not aware that truth was a censure issue

You failed to report that the only truly medically related person on this board is a nurse. All other members are made up of pharmacutical companies, hosplital cooperates, and quasi-medical types.

and who stops them now ??
people in corporations, who need to get expenses under a certain figure, in order to pay off investors ?
come on now, don't be so naïve & reactionary !
Being told what is best for you… right… like MSwindows software on every $@!%$! computer ?
all of this hearsay, by someone who I don't think is qualified to talk about the insurance side of things — a doctor who doesn't want the system to be reformed, and cost controls implemented ? Shocker !
Our health care system is already messed up:

The REAL problem is that Obama bowed to healthcare/pharma industries, republicans, tea partiers, and created this crappy bill, and somehow it's twisted into the fact that this is some mega-liberal healthcare bill. People who are for our current healthcare system are either misinformed, profiting from, or paid-off by, the industry — because you are kidding yourself if you think there aren't cost controls and every effort made to squeeze the customer (patient) for a profit.

Troy, Was it not the congress that are the majority that passed this healthcare bill behind closed doors WITHOUT the republicans ?? The republicans as well as the american people that did not know what was in that thousands of page bill ! Pelosi made the comment on tv that they will pass the bill first in order to know what was in it? So where do you get the republicans & tea party were involved in presenting this NIGHTMARE of a bill ? You need to get your facts straight !
Daniel Lee
Troy, you are the one that is misinformed. It's not the Tea Party, Republicans, it's Peloski, Reed, Democrats and Obama that said We need to pass the Health Care Bill, first, without reading the bill. Then we wll find out what the bill has to offer us. Do you sign contracts without reading them, then wait and see what it has to offer you. If
you do, I sell you a rock with a rope attach to it, then give it a toss in to a river and see if the rock and you
float. No, you will sink faster than piece of lead and we'll never see you again. Point made!!!
