Elder Abuse under ObamaCare

Canada Free Press, October 16, 2013

Jane* went to bed one night last week, thanking God for her many blessings. She woke up next morning screaming, an entirely different person. Hallucinating, alternating between an imaginary world that only she could see and hear. Her family took her to the local hospital. She was admitted immediately and routine blood tests and an MRI were ordered.

Because Jane is 74 years old and a “unit” under ObamaCare, her utility to society must be low in the complicated formula the bureaucrats have devised to kill as many inconvenient elderly as possible.

New rules under Medicare and Tricare required that a case manager be assigned to her. Jane was no longer a patient with feelings, humanity, personality, but a “case.” Think of her case manager as someone whose sole purpose was to provide as little care as possible to an elderly American in dire need.

Flailing in pain, crying for help, and scared, Jane was tied to her bed to “calm her down” in spite of the fact that she has severe inflammatory arthritis in her hands. Her dentures and glasses were given to a nurse for safekeeping and she promptly lost them. It would be another 24 hours before they were found.

How Taxpayers Will Bail Out Detroit

Detroit is proposing an effort to offload much of its bloated healthcare costs onto the American taxpayer, using ObamaCare

 On Sunday, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew ostensibly ruled out a federal government bailout of Detroit following its recent declaration of bankruptcy.  “You know George, Detroit’s economic problems have been a long time in developing…I think when it comes to the questions between Detroit and its creditors, that’s what Detroit is going to have to work out with the creditors,” he told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. Not quite. Detroit is proposing an effort to offload much of its bloated healthcare costs onto the American taxpayer, using ObamaCare as the vehicle for doing so.

“The Affordable Care Act does change the possibilities here dramatically,” said Neil Bomberg, a program director at the National League of Cities. “It offers a very high-quality, potentially very affordable way to get people into health care without the burden falling back onto the city and town.” In reality, the proposal would do nothing more than shift the so-called “burden” of fiscal irresponsibility produced by decades of “city and town” politicians colluding with labor unions onto other cities and towns that had nothing to do with that irresponsibility. As for “affordability,” such a statement is equally nonsensical. More affordability for Detroit, and other progressive sinkholes, equals less affordability for those expected to make up the difference.

AFP: Hands Off My Health Care!

Nearly two years ago, President Obama signed his deeply unpopular health care package into law. Now, the U.S. Supreme Court is set to review the constitutionality of several elements of that package, including the individual mandate. We may not get a better chance to overturn this affront to our health care freedom; that's why we're taking action now, and we need your help!

Americans for Prosperity just launched a redesigned website - www.HandsOffMyHealthCare.com

 - complete with a People's Brief to the Supreme Court. Americans for Prosperity believes that the individual mandate is unconstitutional and that the President's entire health care law must be struck down with it.

Click here to sign the Hands Off My Health Care People's Brief now!

On March 27th at 1PM, Americans for Prosperity will be hosting a major Hands Off My Health Care rally in Upper Senate Park, right across the street from the U.S. Supreme Court.

We've put together a powerful coalition that includes groups such as the 60 Plus Association, Americans for Tax Reform, Concerned Women for America
Doctor Patient Medical Association, Eagle Forum, Hagerstown Tea Party, Heartland Institute, Family Research Council, Let Freedom Ring, Tea Party Express, Tea Party WDC, and more!


Click here to ride a bus from North Carolina to the Hands Off My Health Care rally!

We're asking everyone who believes in health care freedom to join us, and help send a message to the Supreme Court and all of Washington that the President's health care law is not only unconstitutional, but offends the freedoms upon which this country was founded.

I hope to see you at the Supreme Court next month.

Sincerely,

SUN JOURNAL NEW BERN: Craven commissioners approve adult clinic

Sue Book


2011-08-02
A primary care health clinic for adults who are uninsured or who receive Medicaid is expected to be open and operating at Craven County Health Department by October.

Health Director Scott Harrelson made a proposal to create the clinic and it was approved unanimously by Craven County Board of Commissioners this week.

The clinic is expected to serve primary care needs of about 2,000 adults annually, using a licensed practical nurse and full-time contract physician’s assistant. It is projected to cost about $181,750 a year.

Harrelson said that money, for the first two years at least, is expected to come from $40,000 in existing revenue, $40,000 from Office of Rural Health, $21,750 from state aid-to-counties funds, and $80,000 from Medicaid and payment by patients.

“What happens when or if that money stops?” asked Commissioner Tom Mark.

Harrelson said that despite deep cuts to many state programs, “those funds were never put on the chopping block.” Medicaid pays more to a government clinic than to a private provider through cost settlement. If there are funding cuts, uninsured individuals might have to pay a higher percentage of their cost, presently expected to be about 40 percent.

“According to the North Carolina Institute of Medicine, Craven County has approximately 12,000 uninsured citizens” and there are 5,627 adult Medicaid recipients, Harrelson said.

“There is a hole in the safety net,” he said. MERCI Clinic in New Bern sees uninsured adults not covered by government programs and whose earnings are 200 percent of the poverty level or less. But there are not enough doctors in the county to see adults in other categories quickly. They often end up at CarolinaEast emergency room for health problems that could be handled faster and less expensively at a clinic.

“By our own experience, it can take from four to six months to get a first appointment for a Medicaid adult,” he said. “The working poor above 200 percent of the poverty level are not supposed to be seen at the free clinic and they are not eligible for Medicaid and cannot afford private insurance.”

“CarolinaEast is seeing a good deal of non-emergency visits in their ER, which translates into the most expensive form of primary care,” Harrelson said. As provisions of the Affordable Health Care Act become active in 2014, the adult Medicaid population is expected to grow significantly.

Commissioner Lee K. Allen made the motion to give Harrelson permission to proceed with the adult primary care clinic. A retired Navy chief warrant officer and longtime civilian advocate for public health at the local, state and national level, Allen said, “If we don’t provide some safety net for those falling through the cracks, shame on us.”

(NOTE FROM LYNN:  Commissioner Allen has made it clear, he advocates public healthcare (i.e., given to the poor and paid for by the taxpayers of Craven County.  Socialism at the local level!  I hope Craven County voters will remember that in the next election!)
Harrelson said the clinic will help control some chronic problems by using preventatives before “it becomes a train and they are in the emergency room.”

Commissioner Scott Dacey said, “We are about to create a new government program. I want to make sure we are going to save money by diverting patients currently going to the emergency room” and that those using the clinic pay the fee.

Harrelson said he helped create a similar clinic in Duplin County that worked in saving hospital emergency room visits and that the clinic itself “broke even.”

Commissioner Jeff Taylor asked Harrelson to come back and report to commissioners after a year of operation.

Hadley Heath: ObamaCare's Rationing Board Spells Doom for Medicare

This summer, most of the public's political attention is focused on the tug-of-war over the debt ceiling and government budget. Yet another important drama is also unfolding in Washington.

This week, Congressional leaders will hold a hearing on the IPAB: the Independent Payment Advisory Board, which could be a first step to the board's repeal This board, created by the Affordable Care Act (“ObamaCare”), is one of the lesser-understood provisions in the 2000-page law, but it is a critical aspect, exemplifying how ObamaCare would control Medicare costs. If the public learns more about IPAB, the movement to fully repeal ObamaCare will gain important momentum.

Mediscare: The Surprising Truth

Republicans are being portrayed as Medicare Grinches, but ObamaCare already has seniors' health care slated for draconian cuts.

The Obama administration has repeatedly claimed that the health-reform bill it passed last year improved Medicare's finances. Although you'd never know it from the current state of the Medicare debate—with the Republicans being portrayed as the Medicare Grinches—the claim is true only because ObamaCare explicitly commits to cutting health-care spending for the elderly and the disabled in future years.


Yet almost no one familiar with the numbers thinks that the planned brute-force cuts in Medicare spending are politically feasible. Last August, the Office of the Medicare Actuary predicted that Medicare will be paying doctors less than what Medicaid pays by the end of this decade and, by then, one in seven hospitals will have to leave the Medicare system.

Looking for Medicare solutions, not politics as usual

The Miami Herald
Sen. Marco Rubio – Op-Ed
May 26, 2011

http://m.miamiherald.com/mh/db_42832/contentdetail.htm?contentguid=...

For me, Medicare is not a political talking point. My parents immigrated to the United States in the late 1950s. They worked hard for over 40 years to provide their children the chance to do all the things they themselves could not. But they never made much money.

As a result, they retired with precious little in savings. Medicare was and is the only way they could access healthcare.

When my father got sick, Medicare paid for his numerous hospital stays. And as he reached the end of life, Medicare allowed him to die with dignity by paying for his hospice care.

Like most 80-year-olds, my mother has several age-related ailments. Without the access to quality healthcare that Medicare pays for, I cannot imagine what life would be like for her.


America needs Medicare. We need it to continue without any benefit reductions for those like my mother currently in the system. And we need it to survive for my generation and my children’s generation.


But Medicare is going bankrupt. Anyone who says it is not is simply lying. And anyone who is in favor of doing nothing to deal with this fact is in favor of bankrupting it. Medicare will go broke in as little as nine years. No one likes this news, but it is the undeniable truth. And the sooner we begin to deal with it, the better off we are all going to be.

My goals are simple. First, I will not support any plan that changes Medicare for people like my mother who are currently on the plan. We cannot ask seniors to go out and get a job to pay for their healthcare.

Second, any solution must solve the problem. We need to save Medicare, not simply delay its bankruptcy.

And third, any solution cannot hurt economic growth. At a time of high unemployment, Americans cannot afford to pay more taxes.


I will support any serious plan that accomplishes these three things. It does not matter to me if it comes from a Democrat or a Republican. Saving Medicare is more important than partisan politics.

Rep. Paul Ryan has offered a plan that would make no changes whatsoever for anyone age 55 and older. I support it because, right now, it is the only plan out there that helps save Medicare. Democrats oppose it. Fine. But, if they have a better way to save Medicare, what are they waiting for to show us? What is their plan to save Medicare?

Either show us how Medicare survives without any changes or show us what changes you propose we make. Anyone who supports doing nothing is a supporter of bankrupting Medicare.

Where is the House Democrat plan to save Medicare?

Where is the Senate Democrat plan to save Medicare?

Where is President Obama’s plan to save Medicare?

They have no plan to save it, and they do not plan to offer one. They have decided that winning their next election is more important than saving Medicare for my mother and retirees like her.


I have been in the Senate just long enough to be disgusted by the reality that Washington has too many people who think their personal political careers are more important than our country’s future.

Maybe the Democrats’ strategy to use Medicare as a political weapon will work. Maybe not offering their own plan to save Medicare will help them win seats in Congress and re-elect President Barack Obama. Maybe it is great for the Democratic Party. But it is terrible for people like my mother, and it is terrible for America.

Medicare is going bankrupt. If something does not happen soon, in just a few years whoever is in charge in Washington will have to go to people like my mother and tell them we can no longer afford to continue providing her with the same Medicare she is used to.

We have always had intense partisan politics in America. But throughout our history, on issues of generational importance, our leaders have agreed to put aside politics for the sake of our country. Shouldn’t saving Medicare be that kind of issue?

I am ready to work with anyone in Washington who is serious about saving Medicare. I am open to any serious solutions they have.

We are running out of time to save Medicare for our parents and secure it for our children. If we fail, history will never forgive us.

Obama Care Highlighted by Page Number

THE OBAMACARE BILL HB 3200

JUDGE KITHIL IS THE 2ND OFFICIAL WHO HAS OUTLINED THESE PARTS OF THE CARE BILL.

Judge Kithil of Marble Falls, TX - highlighted the most egregious pages of HB3200.  Please read this........ especially the reference to pages 58 & 59.

JUDGE KITHIL wrote:

** Page 50/section 152: The bill will provide insurance to all non-U.S. residents, even if they are here illegally.

** Page 58 and 59: The government will have real-time access to an individual's bank account and will have the authority to make electronic fund transfers from those accounts.

** Page 65/section 164: The plan will be subsidized (by the government) for all union members, union retirees and for community organizations (such as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now - ACORN).

** Page 203/line 14-15: The tax imposed under this section will not be treated as a tax. (How could anybody in their right mind come up with that?)

** Page 241 and 253: Doctors will all be paid the same regardless of specialty, and the government will set all doctors' fees.

** Page 272. section 1145: Cancer hospital will ration care according to the patient's age.

** Page 317 and 321: The government will impose a prohibition on hospital expansion; however, communities may petition for an exception.

** Page 425, line 4-12: The government mandates advance-care planning consultations. Those on Social Security will be required to attend an "end-of-life planning" seminar every five years. (Death counseling..)

** Page 429, line 13-25: The government will specify which doctors can write an end-of-life order.

HAD ENOUGH???? Judge Kithil then goes on to identify:

"Finally, it is specifically stated that this bill will not apply to members of Congress. Members of Congress are already exempt from the Social Security system, and have a well-funded private plan that covers their retirement needs. If they were on our Social Security plan, I believe they would find a very quick 'fix' to make the plan financially sound for their future." - Honorable David Kithil of Marble Falls, Texas

TELL CONGRESS TO HALT OBAMACARE IMPLEMENTATION!

Friends,


I wanted to make sure you saw this important email from our President & CEO Heather Higgins about our best chance to halt ObamaCare: the newly launched petition in support of the "Save Our States" Act.

It is vitally important that Congress passes the "Save Our States" Act as soon as possible. We simply can't afford the cost — literally billions of dollars — that would be wasted implementing this unwanted and unpopular government take-over of our health care decisions when the Supreme Court is likely to find it unconstitutional and strike it down anyway.

Help us send a message to Congress loud and clear. If you haven't already, please sign the petition to put ObamaCare's implementation in a well-deserved time-out today.

Thank you!

Patriot Responses to Letter to the Editor, Greenville Daily Reflector

Opinion Letter


I''m writing in response to Ms. Winborne's letter which recklessly attacks the Tea Party and the GOP. She accuses fiscally responsible individuals of trying to kill grandma. Well, that is simply outrageous and not true. The fact is that our government promises too much to too many people but continues to relieve too many of them from contributing. We continue to fund lifestyles that place a huge burden on our fiscal well-being. You eventually run out of other people's money, which is where we are now. If you want to accuse leaders of sending grandma to an early grave, look no further than Obama himself and his group of healthcare advisors.

Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a bioethicist chosen by President Obama as a special advisor to the OMB for health policy, advocates cutting spending for the elderly to cut costs. He wrote in a leading medical journal: “Unlike allocation by sex or race, allocation by age is not invidious discrimination; Every person lives through different life stages rather than being a single age. Even if 25-year-olds receive priority over 65-year-olds, everyone who is 65 years now was previously 25 years.” (Lancet, Vol. 373, Jan. 31, 2009). He says doctors take the Hippocratic oath too seriously. He doesn't believe that doctors should “do everything for the patient regardless of the cost or effects on others.” (JAMA, June 18, 2008).

Section 3403 of the Healthcare bill sets up the Independent Payment Advisory Board (15 presidentially-appointed experts to set caps on healthcare spending). By 2018, it will be tied to our nation's GDP. Perhaps the IPAB will consist of those who think like Emanuel.

So, if you embrace federalized healthcare and trust Obama, then you should know what is coming down the road and not be so tough on the Tea Party and the GOP. Fiscal conservatism allows more money for our beloved seniors.

Diane Rufino, Greenville

The letter Diane is responding to:
Tea Party, GOP Bad for Grandma


Thank God I still have health insurance. Even though I have benefits, I'm still required to make a co-payment before a doctor will even consider seeing me. If I'm sick and don't have the co-pay, I'll either get better by the grace of God or die from my illness.

We are no longer a country that embraces caring for the poor, feeble or hungry. Personally, I think there's a movement of ethnic cleansing without the bullets. It's raising its ugly head through the new Tea Party and scared politicians who want to hold on to the power that comes with the position. Some of the same people who were screaming that President Barack Obama wanted to “pull the plug on grandma” are now in favor of making drastic cuts or eliminating Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security — all programs that support grandma at a time when she can't.

They want the elderly to pay more toward their health benefits. Have these people looked at the average check of someone on Social Security?

A two-night stay in the hospital can quickly exceed $10,000 not including lab testing, anesthesia and doctor bills. If the cuts are made that the Tea Party and some Republicans are advocating, the results will be more homeless, crime, spreading of disease and more people using the emergency room for medical care. And who will pay for that? The taxpayers. The poetry on the Statue of Liberty may as well be rewritten and state, “We don't want your tired, poor, sick or old. We only want the rich, young, healthy and well educated — preferably those of European dissent.”


Oh yes, I believe the new form of ethnic cleansing/genocide is by use of the pen, under the disguise of balancing the budget.

SUN JOURNAL LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Fuel prices, by CCTA Chairman Raynor James

4/29/2011
Fuel prices are steadily climbing. Our government is encouraging Brazil to drill and providing help for that effort while failing to issue permits to drill for our own oil.

Food prices aren’t far behind oil prices. It costs more to truck supplies to your grocery store. Right now, we can buy from local farmers and trade produce with our gardening friends, but just wait until the so-called “Food Safety Act” is fully implemented. Remember to thank Sen. Richard Burr when you get upset about this one. I like much of what Sen. Burr does, but his vote for the “Food Safety Act” infuriated me.

Unemployment is rampant. Our government taxes and regulates our entrepreneurs (who could solve this problem if left unfettered) to the point of making it almost impossible to create a profitable venture. Government is growing. Free enterprise is shrinking.

Americans’ innate rights are being treated as a gift from the government. That same government is steadily eroding our rights and removing choices from us. What part of “...the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” is so difficult to understand? Why should I be forced to use light bulbs that are difficult to read by, make everyone look jaundiced, and can kill the baby and the puppy if a bulb is broken and the clean up isn’t handled properly?

Our government is treating our friends as enemies, and our enemies as friends. Why are we in Libya? How many of the rebels we’re supporting are jehadists who would like to kill us?

We seem to be going along with the United Nations in favoring Palestine over Israel. Why? Why is much of our media silent about the increase in attacks against Israel?

Health care costs are rising. Access to good health care is shrinking. Because of its design, Obamacare will cost more and more while providing less and less. Unions and Obama cronies can get exemptions. For the rest of us, implementation is going forward apace even though a judge has declared it unconstitutional. Goodness, I wonder why my rights are being ignored by a government that flouts the U.S. Constitution in the face of a court’s ruling; silly me.

We can fix this mess if we will. Our state legislators in North Carolina are taking steps in many good directions. I’m very grateful to them for it. Our biggest problems are on the federal level.

We need to drill in all the places America has oil reserves. We need to build refineries. We need to build nuclear power plants. Carefully, but build them. Americans will buy “green” and “alternative” sources of power of our own free will if and when they are perfected to the point of being convenient, reliable, plentiful, and priced to sell. Until that happens, let us choose what works for us using market solutions and common sense. The price of gas does NOT need to “necessarily skyrocket.”

We need to rescind the “Food Safety Act.”

We need to free ourselves from Obamacare.

We need to reduce the federal budget by 42 percent. Almost 42 cents of every dollar the federal government spends is borrowed. That’s got to stop or we’re headed for disaster. Can’t you just imagine a family trying to continue to live like that? Does the work “bankruptcy” come to mind?

We need to refuse to raise the debt ceiling.

We need to dramatically curtail the EPA and the FCC. They’re hurting our businesses and threatening our freedom. In the case of the EPA, much of the threat comes from acting as if unproven theories are facts.

We need to back out of entitlements.

We need to resign from the United Nations. Our sovereignty is too important to allow the U.N. to erode it. We need our autonomy. We do not need a world government. The more removed from the people a government is, the worse it tends to be.

The only war we’re appropriately fighting is the war against Muslim jihadist fundamentalists who insist that we must die or be converted to Muslims. Not acknowledging this will not stop the war. If we don’t stop them, the jihadists will keep attacking us and infiltrating our culture until we’re dead or wearing burkas. We must stop them.

Our friends in Israel are fighting a similar war. They are in an even more vulnerable position than we are. We need to declare quite plainly that “any attack on Israel will be treated as an attack on the United States of America.”

We need to carefully follow the United States Constitution. The powers of the federal government need to be contracted to fit within its design once again.

‘Unconstitutional’ Health Care Law One Step Closer to Supreme Court

The American Affordable Care Act–the president’s signature piece of domestic legislation–is one step closer to the Supreme Court. Megyn Kelly reports that the 11th Circuit Court will hear the case on June 8th. As you may recall, a Florida court ruled the “entire” health care law unconstitutional earlier this year.

Another hidden secret in Obamacare "RFID Chip Implants"

http://www.patriotactionnetwork.com/forum/topics/another-hidden-secret-in

And now we come to it. On Sunday March 21, 2010 the Senate Healthcare bill HR3200 was passed and signed into law the following Tuesday. Like I said before, there are a legion of horrible and just plain evil aspects to this bill and I’m sure you’ve heard a lot them by now. I don’t want to discount them but what cannot be missed here is this new law now opens a prophetic door on a magnitude not seen since the reformation of Israel.


This new law requires an RFID chip implanted in all of us. This chip will not only contain your personal information with tracking capability but it will also be linked to your bank account. And get this, Page 1004 of the new law (dictating the timing of this chip), reads, and I quote: "Not later than 36 months after the date of the enactment". It is now the law of the land that by March 23rd 2013 we will all be required to have an RFID chip underneath our skin and this chip will be link to our bank accounts as well as have our personal records and tracking capability built into it.

In just a minute I’m going to show you the black and white of the law itself and you can see it with your own eyes and wonder why an event of this magnitude which is nothing less than seismic in nature is met with little more than silence in the Christian community.

Is it now starting to dawn on you just where exactly we are in prophecy? I’ll ask that question again in a minute and follow up on it, but now I want to show you the law itself. I’ve downloaded a PDF copy of HR3200 from the government's website so what I’m about to show you is from the bill itself its nothing that I’ve written. You can access it all and see it all for yourself straight from the source itself.

H.R. 3200 section 2521, Pg. 1001, paragraph 1.

The Secretary shall establish a national medical device registry (in this subsection referred to as the ‘registry’) to facilitate analysis of postmarket safety and outcomes data on each device that— ‘‘is or has been used in or on a patient; ‘‘and is— ‘‘a class III device; or ‘‘a class II device that is implantable, life-supporting, or life-sustaining.”

What exactly is a class II device that is implantable? As you saw earlier, it is the device approved by the FDA in 2004.

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act:
http://www.fda.gov/downloads/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuid...

A class II implantable device is an "implantable radio frequency transponder system for patient identification and health information." The purpose of a class II device is to collect data in medical patients such as "claims data, patient survey data, standardized analytic files that allow for the pooling and analysis of data from disparate data environments, electronic health records, and any other data deemed appropriate by the Secretary."


Going back to what we just looked at, the creation of the national medical device registry in section 2521, page 1002 line 5: “In developing the registry, the secretary shall…” And the law continues on with a laundry list of items that the secretary must do in the process of creating this registry. In this laundry list of items to do, Line 17, subparagraph B: "validating methods for analyzing patient safety and outcomes data from multiple sources and for linking such data with the information included in the registry as described in subparagraph (A)."

Going back to subparagraph A, it says: “including in the registry, in a manner consistent with subsection (f), appropriate information to identify each device described in paragraph (1) by type, model, and serial number or other unique identifier;.... ” Don’t be confused by the intentional obfuscation and skillful wording, This law first creates the national device registry and then immediately list all the task the secretary of health and human services will have do in the process of creating this registry.

The very first two items in the list mandates that the secretary first gives a unique identification to each of the items listed in paragraph 1 which is: ‘‘a class III device; or ‘‘a class II device that is implantable.”

Then, the very next thing the secretary is to do is to create the process by which “patient safety and outcomes data from multiple sources”, which is electronic medical records, that are linked to these newly and uniquely identified items from paragraph 1 which are the class III and class II implantable devices. Class III devises are items such as breast implants, pacemakers, heart valves, etc. A Class II device that is implantable is, as you seen from the FDA, an implantable radio frequency transponder, RFID chip. From breast implants, to pacemakers, to RFID chips which one is the only possible one that can used for the stated purpose in section B which is, “for linking such data with the information included in the registry”? As we know from subsection A, the information in the registry is the name of a device. In plain languate, we are in a clear way being told that our electronic medical records are going to be linked to a class II implantable device!

Continuing a few lines down in this same section, section B subsection ii on still on page 1002, the “patient safety and outcomes data from multiple sources”, that is to be linked is clearly spelled out as electronic medical records. It reads: “link data obtained under clause (i) with information in the registry.”

Information in the registry is, as we know from subparagraph A, the name of the device. So what is the data obtained under clause (i)? Clause (i) reads: “obtain access to disparate sources of patient safety and outcomes data, including Federal health-related electronic data”. Again, from breast implants, to pacemakers, to RFID chips which one is the only possible one that can used for the stated purpose in section B? That stated purpose is “for linking such data” and the such data is electronic medical records. What we already have already seen in just the creation of this registry, is the device that will serve as the link, which is an RFID microchip that is categorized as a Class II implantable device, as well as what it will be the link for which is your electronic medical records.

In case the law wasn’t clear enough on that point, still in the laundry list of things to do a few more lines down on page 1005, it reads: “The Secretary to protect the public health; shall establish procedures to permit linkage of information submitted pursuant to subparagraph (A, remember subparagraph A is the class 2 implantable device reference) with patient safety and outcomes data obtained under paragraph (3, which is electronic medical records); and to permit analyses of linked data;”

Continuing on to page 1007, in the STANDARDS, IMPLEMENTATION CRITERIA, AND CERTIFICATION CRITERIA section, the secretary of health and human services is given full power to intact all mandates from the laundry list of to-do items in the creation process of the registry as well as dictate how the devises listed in the National Medical Device Registry are to be used and implemented.

"The Secretary of the Health Human Services, acting through the head of the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, shall adopt standards, implementation specifications, and certification criteria for the electronic exchange and use in certified electronic health records of a unique device identifier for each device described in paragraph 1 (National Medical Device Registry), if such an identifier is required by section 519(f) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360i(f)) for the device."

On Page 503, section E Lines 13-17, it reads: "encourage, as appropriate, the development and use of clinical registries and the development of clinical effectiveness research data networks from electronic health records, post marketing drug and medical device surveillance efforts". Let me say that again, medical device surveillance efforts!

Now let us look at section 163 of HR3200, which gives the government a direct electronic access to your bank account which will work in conjunction with an implanted chip.

Page 58 Lines 5 through 15 reads: (D) enable the real-time (or near real time) determination of an individual’s financial responsibility at the point of service and, to the extent possible, prior to service, including whether the individual is eligible for a specific service with a specific physician at a specific facility, which may include utilization of a machine-readable health plan beneficiary identity detection card; (E) enable, where feasible, near real-time adjudication of claims

What does this mean? It means that the government will give everybody a health ID card that contains a machine readable device (magnetic strip or RFID chip) similar to a credit card. Embedded in this chip or strip is your Health Identification Number. When you visit a medical provider, the medical claims will be processed while you are still in the office. The medical providers will be paid in real time. The portion that you owe will be deducted from your bank account, in real time, according to HR 3200.

Notice here in this part which is at the beginning of 2000 plus pages of the law, it is carefully worded “which may include utilization of a machine-readable health plan beneficiary identity detection card”. Here we are told that it may be a card. As you have already seen, deeper in the law [Sec. 2521 Pg. 1000] what this “may” utilize is clearly spelled out as a “class II device that is implantable”.

We can only speculate at this point why the law is set up this way. Most likely this section was written to account for the gap in time from when the process of chipping begins to when everyone has received a chip. A means of starting with a card for the sake of expedience while the process of chipping citizenry plays out. One thing is certain, the law mandates that within 3 years we will all have a chip under our skin that will serve this purpose.

Evidence of this logic is found in the deadline set for the start of the registry on page 1006.

"EFFECTIVE DATE.—The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall establish and begin implementation of the registry under section 519(g) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as added by paragraph (1), by not later than the date that is 36 months after the date of the enactment of this Act, without regard to whether or not final regulations to establish and operate the registry have been promulgated by such date."

Also on page 259, this law requires the use of Electronic medical records system in all hospitals by 2012 which will leave a gap of at least a year before the class II implantable device is required.

Republican Congressman Ron Paul from Texas, states on his website: "Buried deep within the over 1,000 pages of the massive US Health Care Bill (PDF) in a “non-discussed” section titled: Subtitle C-11 Sec. 2521— National Medical Device Registry, and which states its purpose as........ He quotes that part of the law and then goes on to say: "In “real world speak”, according to this report, this new law, when fully implemented, provides the framework for making the United States the first Nation in the World to require each and every one of its citizens to have implanted in them a radio-frequency identification microchip for the purpose of controlling who is, or isn’t, allowed medical care in their country".

That is from a currently serving member of congress. Cutting through all the political ease, the bottom line is that eventually if you want to participate in a government healthcare plan you will have to have this chip implanted in you. This law mandates that you have to have insurance and by virtue of this law guarantees that all private healthcare insurers will be driven out of business with only the government option left. We will be in a single payer system and you will have to have an imbedded chip to be a member of this system and it is mandatory that you be a part of this system.

I have a number of different pieces of data, I like to lay it all out in bit size pieces so the picture becomes clearer so I’m going to lay out the data and cut through the political circular logic and legal ease:

2004: Class II implantable devices receive FDA approval and verachip VeriMed electronic health records system also received approval from the FDA.

2009: American Recovery and Reinvestment Act authorized $23 billion in stimulus funds for health care information technology. In conjunction with that, VeriChip re-launches VeriMed electronic health records system which is a system that is made up of implantable RFID microchips, handheld scanners for emergency room personnel to read these chips, and online electronic personal health records.

2010: HR3200 was passed by the House and signed into law by President Obama. Now looking at the new law, Page 259 Electronic Medical Records system will be required for all healthcare providers by 2012.

Pages 1001-1002: A national medical device registry is created and populated with devices. Chiefly noted among them, a Class II medical device that is implantable.

Pages 1002-1004: Mandates the use of class II implantable devices to serve as the link between you and your electronic medical records.

Page 1005: The secretary of human services will establish the procedures for the linking of the Class II implantable device and electronic medical records.

Page 1007: Secretary of health and human services is given full power to intact all items required in the creation of the registry as well as the power to dictate how the devises listed in the National Medical Device Registry are to be used and implemented.

Page 503: Medical device surveillance is authorized.

Page 58: The link to your electronic medical records which is the Class II implantable device will also be linked to your bank account.

Page 1006: Without regard to whether or not final regulations are in place, you will be required to get a Class II implantable device linked to your medical records and bank account in order to participate in the government healthcare plan.

Pages 155-158: It is mandated that you have health insurance or you will pay $100.00 dollars per day that you are not covered.

Page 159: The IRS will enforce healthcare enrolment and fines for not caring health insurance.

Lastly, this law mandates that you have to have insurance and by virtue of this law, guarantees that all privet healthcare insurers will be driven out of business with only the government option left. We will be in a single payer system and you will have to have an imbedded chip to be a member of this system and it is mandatory that you be a part of this system.

This new law, when fully implemented, provides the framework for making the United States the first nation in the world to require each and every one of its citizens to have implanted in them a radio-frequency identification microchip. In theory, the intent to streamline healthcare and to eliminate fraud via "health chips" seems right. But, to have the world's lone superpower mandate a device to be IMPLANTED is not just scary. It is prophetic!

Is this in its current form the mark of the beast? No it is not. The Bible is clear that this will not become the mark of the beast until midway through tribulation when it is somehow associated with a sign of allegiance to the Anti-Christ and it is in some way imprinted with a number or symbols associated 666.

However this is the very mechanism by which it will happen and obviously since the mark will be on a global scale, this has not fully played out. Keep in mind though, we are already staring down the barrel of a global government who will implement this on a global scale. Also, the rapture is a game changing event. If the global government hasn’t come to fruition at the point of the rapture, it will overnight when the rapture happens and this law will be applied across the board. I wouldn’t be surprised if same healthcare ruse won’t be applied under the premises that the mass disappearance of people is a global healthcare emergency and the application of this law [globally and under a global government] will prevent others from disappearing or at a minimum be a means of determining what happened via the tracking capability inherent to RFID chips.

Now I’m going to ask you the question that I asked earlier: Is it now starting to dawn on you just where exactly we are in prophecy? By virtue of the fact that this hasn’t sent tremors through the Christian community, one can only assume that community is asleep at the wheel. Maybe everyone is so bogged down in all the other evil facets to this new law that this has slipped through the cracks. I tend to doubt that is the case though. I think the reason that hardly no one has seemed to even so much as mentioned this is because human nature is kicking in and it’s hard to get past the logical mind when it is telling you that this just can’t be or this is somehow a misrepresentation of the new law and all those who had a part in it. Mixed in with that, no one wants to risk their reputation or for some their ministries reputation by saying something that could get them labeled as conspiracy nut.

Captain Edward Smith, captain of the Titanic said this statement shortly before the titanic embarked on its maiden voyage: “I cannot imagine any condition which would cause a ship to founder. I cannot conceive of any vital disaster happening to this vessel. Modern shipbuilding has gone beyond that.” The point here is that people to tend see and believe what they want to see and believe and in this case, what’s easiest to not see and not believe.

All that you have seen so far is a matter of fact and easily investigated by yourself. So I say again, is it now starting to dawn on you just where exactly we are in prophecy? Romans 13:11: “And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.”

OBAMACARE - Is currently being implemented by Obama with LIGHTNING SPEED. Over 6000 pages of implementation rules have already been written. The unconstitutionality rulings in 2 well-respected courts have not deterred the government in the slightest. Americans have to know this is going on.

Remember when former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced, “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.” Well, guess what they found? $105.5 billion in hidden appropriations. Practically no member of Congress knew such funding provisions were included in the bill. Michele Bachmann and the Republicans will now demand that the $105.5 billion be returned to the to their rightful owners, the American taxpayers. As Bachmann says: "We’ve been hunting and pecking to look for $61 billion in savings from the budget, and we just find out now that [top Democrats] have already appropriated much more than that? $105 billion over the next 8 years and nobody knew about it? They took this money by deception. They failed to disclose critical terms of that bill. This was a fraud when they put that though. That’s why we must insist that we will not give one red cent of funding after March 18 until they first give the money back. Then we can discuss the budget..... They told no one they were prefunding the implementation. Republicans were all arguing that if we got the gavel in 2010 that we could effectively repeal Obamacare between now and 2012 because we could defund it. That option was taken away from us, the people’s voice in 2010 was neutered."

Among the more egregious provisions in the law is Section 1311(a), which gives the Health and Human Services Secretary carte blanche over the amount of taxpayer dollars that be expended toward implementation of health-care exchanges in any of the 50 states. On its face, the provision seems to be yet another example of language that runs at cross purposes with the Constitution, which uniquely assigns the capacity to allocate funds to Congress.

Another issue with ObamaCare is that it is being applied arbitrarily. The entire state of Maine has just been granted a waiver to its mandate by President Obama. So now there are 2 NEW Constitutional challenges to ObamaCare:

1). Equal Protection argument (laws must be applied equally to all Americans)

2). Powers Constitutionally reserved to Congress (allocation of funds) have been unconstitutionally delegated to the Health and Human Services Secretary (carte blanche)

Top 10 Failures of ObamaCare After One Year

President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law on March 23, 2010. In just the year since, the law known as ObamaCare has already severely crippled the nation’s economy and health care system.


Despite Obama’s continued pride in his signature health care legislation, a new CNN poll shows that 58% of Americans disapprove of the way Obama is handling health care.


The Republican House passed a repeal of ObamaCare in January, but the bill was blocked by the Democrat-controlled Senate. Four House committees are now drafting a replacement bill for ObamaCare. The House also passed legislation defunding ObamaCare in March, which was likewise blocked by the Senate Democrats. Republican leaders are committed, however, and say that they will be defunding the health care law through the appropriations process this year.

These are the top 10 failures of ObamaCare, starting with those that have had the most serious effect already on the economy, jobs, and the American people.

The ‘Untouchable’ $23.6 Billion Funding ObamaCare

Untouchable. That’s the treatment being given to the $23.6 billion being spent right now to implement Obamacare.


This $23.6 billion is part of the $105.5 billion appropriated by the last Congress to fund Obamacare. The remainder (Think of it as post-dated checks for the other $81.9 billion.) automatically becomes available between now and FY2019.

Negative Consequences of Health Reform Already Felt

Health Issues

March 8, 2011

The negative consequences of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act already are cascading through the health sector. Even though most of the provisions of the health overhaul law do not go into effect until 2014, its destructive impact already is being felt by senior citizens, children, and small and medium-sized employers, says Grace-Marie Turner, president of the Galen Institute.

One of the earliest indications of lost coverage came in June 2010 when Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told health insurers that they must write policies for children under age 19, including those with pre-existing conditions, no matter when their parents apply.

Rather than face the very real prospect that most parents would wait to buy the coverage when the children had a significant medical condition, many carriers have decided to leave this market altogether.

Texas has seen all of its carriers drop child-only health insurance, as have other large states including Florida and Illinois.

Seniors were also hit early with the news that their carriers were leaving the market as a direct result of impact of the health overhaul law.

More than 11 million seniors have opted to join private Medicare Advantage plans that offer more generous benefits and lower out-of-pocket costs than traditional Medicare.

But to pay for expanded entitlements for working-age Americans, the law slashes spending on these private plans.

Chief Medicare actuary Richard S. Foster estimates that total enrollment in Medicare Advantage plans will be cut in half, by as many as 7.4 million over the next 10 years.

Small businesses are among the first to be negatively impacted in the group insurance market. In Colorado, for example, Aetna will stop selling new health insurance to small groups and is moving existing clients off the plan this year, affecting 1,200 companies and 5,200 employees and their dependents.

Number of healthcare reform law waivers climbs above 1,000

The number of temporary healthcare reform waivers granted by the Obama administration to organizations climbed to more than 1,000, according to new numbers disclosed by the Department of Health and Human Services.


HHS posted 126 new waivers on Friday, bringing the total to 1,040 organizations that have been granted a one-year exemption from a new coverage requirement included in the healthcare reform law enacted almost a year ago. Waivers have become a hot-button issue for Republicans, eager to expose any vulnerabilities in the reform law.
