Stimulus Package = Socialized Health Care

Remember Hillary Clinton's failed attempt to socialize health care in the U.S. in 1994? Tom Daschle (the tax evasion specialist) says that there was too much debate and discussion which ended up killing the plan then. So, what does he do now? He puts a new bureaucracy called the NCHIT into the Stimulus Bill to take our health care to government control.

Guess who gets the shaft? The elderly. Like the TARP Bill which gave sole discretion to the Secretary of the Treasury to act to ensure the economic well being of the American people, the Stimulus Bill gives broad power to the Secretary of Health and Human Services to determine which doctors and health care providers are practicing "meaningful use" of the systems and policies created by this new bureaucracy. The Bill establishes a Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research who will have the power to make the "tough" decisions that elected politicians won't make (e.g. who gets treatment and who doesn't).

This Obama bill stinks more and more as the days go by. Write and call your (non) representatives now before the bill is passed through and made into law.
