Health Care Debate - Lodi, CA

We need reform of health care, not goverment take over of our health care. This bill will ultimately lead to goverment run health care. Control lawsuits, open competion of insurance companies between states, and keep the government out of our health care!

Insurance premiums are out of control. Fat paychecks are being giving to Corporate people so came increase share dividends for share holders. People are being treated like they don't matter. Something, anything has to be done to get it back to consumer friendly againg.

This bill is unconstitutional and is rammed down our throats without debate, without reading the bill-nothing. I was taught, you do not sign anything till you read everything printed. In our eagerness to get something done, we may well be stepping from the frying pan into the fire and get really burned.

FDA, a class II implantable device is a "implantable radiofrequency transponder system for patient identification and health information."
Just Like Obama’s Dogs

This link will take you to the Open Congress website. The site is pretty good as a research tool and I have used it often in digging up information that my Washington reps would rather not tell me about.
The item under question here has shown up in a few rumor blogs and in other less reputable sites as yet another diabolical scheme by Obama to enslave the US. Really? Let’s look at the language…
The Obama Health care bill under Class II (Paragraph 1, Section B) specifically includes in its lists of things that must be in registered in the NATIONAL MEDICAL DEVICE REGISTRY:‘‘(ii) a class II device that is implantable.”
Then on page 1004 it describes what the term “data” means in paragraph 1, section B:
14 ‘‘(B) In this paragraph, the term ‘data’ refers to in
15formation respecting a device described in paragraph (1),
16 including claims data, patient survey data, standardized
17 analytic files that allow for the pooling and analysis of
18 data from disparate data environments, electronic health
19 records, and any other data deemed appropriate by the
20 Secretary”
HR 3200

What is meant by the term,“class II device that is implantable”?

According to the FDA, a class II implantable device is a “implantable radiofrequency 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.” In other words an RFID chip such as are used in a number of dogs and cats. Just like Obama’s dogs.

Nearly every liberal blog out there is currently in high dudgeon, outraged over the “vicious, mean-spirited rumor mongering of the far right”. They claim that this subtext of the bill merely exists as an example of the thoroughness of the healthcare legislation, and that if doctors are going to use RFID chips to monitor their patients’ health than those devices should be regulated.

On its surface this seems perfectly reasonable, but then I think about the people who would have the power to decide what “other data” is deemed appropriate.

Real ID Act of 2005
A lot of people have forgotten about the Real ID Act of 2005. A good number of the members of Congress and the Senate who were pushing that bit of legislative disaster would also be involved in the implementation of this steaming heap. If they had gotten their way then every one of us would have to be using a card with an RFID chip in it. We would not be allowed to travel, buy or sell without using that card and all of that data would tell the government where we are and where we are going 24 hours a day. Yes, they really do care about our freedom, don’t they? Excuse me if I don’t run right out and reregister as a Democrat.

Liberals tend to laugh and sneer whenever the “slippery slope” argument is used by a conservative, even though they have used the same argument innumerable times for their side, but in this case it is right on. Considering the people behind the bill, considering that they have tried along every step to hide the content of the legislation from the voters, considering that, when asked where their power to mandate to citizens what the citizenry will buy they refused to answer, I cannot and will not trust a word they say.

Chris Matthews seemed shocked that people thought Major Hasan’s emails to a terrorist organization might be suspicious. Ted Turner lamented that there weren’t enough communist countries in the world. Michelle Obama stated that she was ashamed of this country before the election. Nearly every member of the Democrat leadership has stated at one time that we brought 911 on ourselves and not one of them has offered one word of praise to the female Army Sergeant who stopped Hassan’s bloody jihad against his own fellow soldiers. No, this current administration is not to be trusted.

Liberals are supposed to be all about choice, so why don’t they want to give us one in this case? When Nancy Pelosi was asked about the legal penalties waiting for those of us who will not be purchasing the government’s approved insurance she refused to answer the question, moving instead to say that the bill gave people a choice. Choosing to become a slave is no choice at all.
