The Senate Democrats want Sen. Kennedy and Justice Ginsberg Dead.

Tucked neatly (and by night) into the Senate version of the "Stimulant" package is a detailed vision of how medical care in the US should be. It's based on a book written by tax dodger Tom Daschle, among the provisions is the creation of a National Coordinator of Health Information Technology. The job of the NCofHIT would be to make sure that care only goes to those who would get the most out of it. In other words, if you're too old, or have too many other medical problems, well, you should just understand that others need that medicine or procedure more than you. In other words, if Sen. Kennedy or Justice Ginsberg were living under the "health care" system in that "stimulant" package, both would be dead today. They are both far too old and have too many other medical problems to be taxing the public health system. This "stimulant" package does do one thing very successfully. It exposes every lie the left has been spewing on us for 40 years now. "My body, my choice!" has been a rallying cry for the "pro choice" crowd for decades. But I wonder how many of these people are excited about The National Coordinator fo Health Information Technologies deciding for them what their doctor can treat and what they can't. Sure, the NCofHIT might approve of all the elective abortions in the world, but say you want your baby, even though it has a birth defect that will make it a patient for life. Oops, sorry, no treatment authorized. When I was a paramedic we had a term called, "cookbook medicine". Just like the term sounds, it means to read the ingredients (signs and symptoms) of a patients condition and treat them regardless of logic or critical thinking. Say you have a patient who is complaining of chest pain, with shortness of breath and sweating profusely. The "cookbook" medic would automatically treat for a heart attack, even though the signs and symptoms are indicative of many things. The NCofHIT would mandate cookbook medicine for the entire medical community. Doctors would have to play "mother may I" games with some bureaucrat with a freshly printed, "I'm not a doctor, but I play one in Washington" card. People who can't seem to even pay their taxes on time would literally be dictating to physicians what they can and can't do for patients. You might be saying that that is what insurance companies do now.. and you would be right (at least to a point), however, if it isn't good medical practice for an insurance company, why on earth can anyone think it's good medical practice for some government hack who has less medical training and experience than a basic EMT on rotations at the ER? This profane piece of "legislation" should be dead, not people who have illness and injuries that can be treated.
