As part of the "stimulus" package, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective, according to Betsy McCaughey, former lieutenant governor of New York and an adjunct senior fellow at the Hudson Institute.
The goal is to reduce costs and “guide” your doctor’s decisions (442, 446). These provisions in the stimulus bill are virtually identical to what Tom Daschle prescribed in his 2008 book, “Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis.” According to Daschle, doctors have to give up autonomy and “learn to operate less like solo practitioners.”
Hospitals and doctors that are not “meaningful users” of the new system will face penalties. “Meaningful user” isn’t defined in the bill. That will be left to the HHS secretary .
So medical decisions will be taken out of your hands and put into the hands of tax cheat, multi-millionaire lobbyist scumbag Tom Daschle? Helluva a plan. The plan is bad enough, for Obama to try and sneak this in through the stimulus package without open debate is outrageous. This makes Obama look more evil than innocent. He may not understand basic economics, but it can be viewed that he is simply unaware, sneaking a major program like this into the stimulus package is none of that, it is sinister.
Creating a power center around which the likes of Daschle can lobby with regard to your health care will do more to lower the standard of living for the average American than any other legislation currently circulating in Congress. This is bad, real bad. Medical care based on who Tom Daschle can shakedown.
