Obama’s Health Care Violates Our Rghts
This story is not new, the law suit is new, but mainly people need to know the terrible price they will pay in losing all their freedom, the financial costs and the risks to their lives and health under OBAMACARE will pale in importance, IMO, to our loss of freedom.
A nurse has filed a lawsuit against the medical records provisions of President Obama’s stimulus bill alleging it not only gives government officials access to personal health records, it opens the door for bureaucrats to make health care decisions.
The lawsuit explains the federal law specifies, “The National Coordinator shall perform the duties under subsection (c) in a manner consistent with the development of a nationwide health information technology infrastructure that allows for the electronic use and exchange of [health care] information and that among other functions provides appropriate information to help guide medical decisions at the time and place of care.”
The language is virtually identical to what former Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D., prescribed in his 2008 book “Critical, What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis” after voters in his state refused to return him to Washington.
“According to Daschle, doctors have to give up autonomy and ‘learn to operate less like solo practitioners,’” the lawsuit said. “The National Coordinator will be able to enforce his decision as to what is appropriate treatment through sanctions against health care providers. Health care providers that are not ‘meaningful users’ of the new system will face penalties. ‘Meaningful user’ is not defined in the Stimulus Act. That will be left to the HHS secretary, who will be empowered to impose ‘more stringent measures of meaningful use over time.’”
The result is that penalties that could be imposed against doctors that would “deter the plaintiff’s health care providers from going beyond the electronically delivered protocols should (a medical) condition become atypical,” the lawsuit said.
Further, the demand that all health records be kept electronically would put the plaintiff’s personal information “a mouse-click away from being accessible to [strangers].”
“Under the Hippocratic Oath, state law and federal law while the medical records are the property of the plaintiff’s health care providers, the information contained in the records remains property of the plaintiff and the health care providers are required by law to maintain that information in strict confidentiality.”
Forget privacy about your health, every detail will be made electronically available to a great many people, including your employer. Forget you and your doctor alone making health care decisions about your life, it will all be up to a non-medical federal bureaucrat.
The costs will be horrible, beyond belief, health care will become substandard, third world in nature; but worse there will no longer be any pretense about anyone being free in America, we will have surrendered all our liberty to Obama, the Democrats and OBAMACARE.
