A Modern Parable:
A certain island with a population of 100 was threatened by an unusual disease. They had a supply of medication that could only treat 1/2 of the population; if they went with a subclinical dosage, NONE would survive.
Here we have the essence of Obamacare. Our politicians would rather spend the taxpayer's funds on "lifestyle" diseases and "unfunded mandates" than respect those who paid into the system with medicare and private supplemental insurance. Thus our elderly population is being systematically euthanised. Ignorance would be a poor but plausable excuse, but our rulers are not ignorant. They know EXACTLY what they do.

Re:Supplemental Insurance:

"When I found out that these plans were endorsed by AARP"[Advocates for Assassination of Retired Persons {and the unborn}], I prayed, "God help us !"

In Ukrainian "Chernobyl = Wormwood" (Rev.8:10-11)

Mark 8
35 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it. 36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? 37 For what can a man give in return for his life? 38 For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.(ESV)

The purpose of this site is not to demand 'reform'; the crap we are experiencing, is the just recompense to a godless society run amuck (see Romans chp 1). It (sic) is rather to remove from the perpetrators of these abominations any excuses of "ignorance" or "good intentions", when they stand before our Ultimate Judge. (Ezekiel 33:1-6)
Based on first hand experience with major hospital departments,
there is about to be a mass extermination of elderly patients who are no longer of use (profit) to the government/insurance gangsters.
They are murdering the unborn and partially born; so why not those pe$ty oldie$ !?? ?

Taxes imposed to finance Medicare
Medicare is financed by payroll taxes imposed by the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) and the Self-Employment Contributions Act of 1954. In the case of employees, the tax is equal to 2.9%. Along with politics, economics, education, diplomacy and entertainment, medicine is a target of the darkness.

While there are still some physicians and ancillary (overworked and underpaid) folk who are TRYING to practice the healing arts, the environment engendered by the regime is such that the conscientious pursuit of the patient's well-being is either abrogated by the economics of medicare-insurance or greed, sloth, indifference, ignorance or a combination thereof.This (sic) is by deliberate design.
  • Medicare is NOT an entitlement(unpaid for welfare); Medicaid is.
  • Medicare "trust" funds were systematically looted by various federal departments leaving virtually worthless IOUs in their stead.
  • The medi-gap "supplemental" insurers by their ruthless refusal to approve (guarantee) payment to providers, are swindling thousands of customers out of their life savings by intimidating providers with slow or non-payment.
  • The insurers (aarp, uhc, etc.) are using the overburdened Medicaid system as their personal corporate welfare provider. (cf. What are the insurers doing ? )
  • 3 % of our earnings were collected for social(ist) security medicare.
  • In 2002 congress gave 14 billion (in the form of rate increases) to SNF's for "staffing augmentation" .
  • Staffing:patient ratios went up 0.8%
  • Congress FAILED to attach any sort of requirements to the money.
  • IMHO healthcare industry contributions were extra generous for the 2004 campaigns.
  • Both to Demicans and their Republocrat buddies.
  • Obamacare earmarked $700,000,000 to planned parent hoods for in utero baby butchery. (308,000 infanticides in 2008-2009).
  • Perhaps our seniors are being retroactively aborted !
  • HIPAA (federal "privacy") rules hinder and complicate hospital to hospital and doctor to doctor communication of vital treatment information, such that patient baseline profiles are unnecessarily re-established, at great cost of lives and money, rather than transmitted quickly.
  • Greater frequency of redundant information and re-entry yields a greater chance of often fatal error and/or omission.

Common provider practices that hasten death:

  • Bodegas, botiques, butcher shops and healthcare providers are responsible to their customers; the first 3 depend on the buying public... the latter ones, in the vast majority of cases, to the payors (medicare, and the "secondary" insurers).
  • In order to curry favor with and prompt payment from payors and to stockholders, providers (M.D.'s, Skilled nursing facilities, hospitals etc.) tailor their practices to suit the payor NOT the patient. (Simply put veterinary medicine !)
  • With the "one-price-fits-all" dialysis policy of medicare, an entire class of elderly patients in renal failure are being denied ADEQUATE treatment to maintain life. Outpatient facilities are unable to support patient's blood pressure levels and or real time hemoglobin levels due to:
    1. Albumin (to raise pressure) is no longer available outside of an acute care ho$pital.
    2. Crit-line machines (objective real time monitors)are becoming almost non-existant in the outpatient enviornment.
    Dialysis parameters are (by admission of nephrologists) an almost blind guess, that leaves the patient often either under or over dialyzed. The Crit-line measures (non-invasively) hemoglobin and fluid levels in real time. They WERE using them, they ARE no longer available BY DESIGN of the major outpatient providers.
    3. A board certified nephrologist stated, "if we don't detect it, we don't have to treat it!"
  • In addition to the application of superfluous procedures (routine) and anti-therapeutic protocols designed to enhance income, hospitals systematically deny or curtail efficacious treatment modalities solely on the basis of chronological age and profit margin. The actual physical/mental status of the patient is not considered.
  • An excellent gauge of the general attitude of the hospital towards the elderly is the institution's practice of abortion. If an institution can facilitate the in-utero dismemberment or caustic termination of living babies, granny has a snowball's chance in the lake of fire.
  • In their unending lust for money, provider "bean counters" are purchasing inferior grades of everything from food to red chinese plastic oxygen tubing.
  • Revelation 9:5-6

    5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. 6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
       
    Those who want to live are being systematically euthanised while those in a "convenient" vegetative state are kept alive to maximize low cost high margin profits.
       
  • The early demise of patients whose medical needs go beyond the "normal" bulk "one-size-fits-all" accrues to both the provider and payor bottom line.
  • SNF Patients prone to pulmonary edema or food to lung aspiration are often left laying without head elevation to promote 911 ER transfers.The "crashing" of these atypical patients has become an art form unto itself.
  • If the patient or the patient's family object to the treatment modality or lack of treatment or slovenly administration thereof, the system, through the application of "adult protective" or "mental health" laws, can summarily (without a hearing) have the patient declared, by a well paid psychiatrist on their staff, demented or their proxy declared to be interfering with the provider's self serving machinations ("treatment"). Whether or not this can be done in actuality the administrators do a convincing job of threatening family caregivers and harassing them with repeated self-serving charges and fabricated "report$" by their p$ychiatric conce$$ionaire$. Not only do they do this to those who protest their self-serving, pro-death economies but they use taxpayer monies to do so.
  • The 3rd party payment system has fostered a climate of burn-out of skilled and semiskilled provider employees.
  • With providers scrambling to cut costs (largely labor) and increase profits, services to patients (especially those with medicare and private supplemental insurance) have been curtailed drastically.
  • Healthcare providers are outsourcing more of their traditional services to foreign based contractors. Sodexho stands out as a prime example of these contractors.
  • These contractors add yet another layer of bureaucratic overhead and cheap exploitable labor to the already diseased marketplace.
  • Sodexho (hospital food services) maintains that they can serve transfat to patients because "we are permitted to do so". They make MacD look like the Happy Hippy Health Emporium. They poison patients and health workers because "we are permitted to do so". (Most in-house facilities are greedily following suit.)

The abomination is that the insurance companies, with the collusion of the medicare provider system, are extorting, by their draconian “bill us and MAYBE we'll pay you” tactics, patients and their families to exhaust their personal assets into provider coffers until they are forced to apply to Medicaid (“welfare”) to obtain the benefits that they have paid for with their own taxes AND high insurance premiums; how medical ethics (lol) “devolve” to veterinary ethics, becomes anything other than a cynical exercise in cia-kgb style plausible deniability, is beyond reason.


The so-called “unfunded” mandates (many of whom are Medicaid recipients getting 3 hots , a cot and free dope at skilled nursing facilities ) that the healthcare providers bemoan are funded in reality by:

    1) The dilution of services to those who have medicare + supplemental insurance and must meet the much more stringent medicare treatment criteria; for instance, in addition to 3 days a week of hemodialysis an elderly cardiac renal patient MUST participate in 5 days of progressively more difficult rehabilitative (lol)physical "therapy" in order to maintain the skilled nursing coverage that they've been paying for with medicare and their insurance premiums.[note: two federal courts have recently held that "merely" preventing or delaying further skeletal muscular degeneration counts for medicare snf eligibility.] With medicaid you get free food, board, nursing and your very own Dr.Feelgood dishing up the vicodan (all this without the draconian medicare protocols). Were Drs. kevorkian & mengele the authors of the medicare criteria ?

    2) The politicians (in exchange for substantial “campaign” contributions (?)) have provided the snf's, physicians, hospitals etc. with a huge supply of low maintenance high profit margin patients who are consuming the infrastructure at the expense of those who were “prudent “ to insure while working..

    3) The conflict of interest rules have become a farce. For instance, nephrologists are routinely sending dialysis patients to facilities that they directly own (although some nephrologists own dialysis facilities to keep their patients from the tender mercies of the corporate mba's!). Some obfuscate the availability of proven procedures that could possibly lessen the patient's need for dialysis or at least improve life quality, thereby insuring their income and/or the favor of the insurance carriers. With the new medicare bundling (one price fits all) policy, the chronic hemo-dialysis facilities are routinely ignoring doctor's specific orders and adhering to the cheapest course of treatment. [ would God construe this as murder ?]

This is NOT an argument for extending physical life by "heroic" measures. In cases where the patient is in pain and/or vegetative beyond recall... make them comfortable and let them expire as comfortably as possible (unless the patient insists otherwise).

4) Any wonder that the dismemberment or dissolving of living babies in utero has become a multi-billion dollar practice ?


It brings to mind, the Barber of Fleet Street's meat pie business, on a much larger scale of course and with Harvard MBA panache.

EPHESIANS 6

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.(ESV)

Ezekiel 33
2 “Son of man, speak to your people and say to them, If I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and make him their watchman, 3 and if he sees the sword coming upon the land and blows the trumpet and warns the people, 4 then if anyone who hears the sound of the trumpet does not take warning, and the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. 5 He heard the sound of the trumpet and did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But if he had taken warning, he would have saved his life. 6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, so that the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any one of them, that person is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman's hand.
