Another look with references to the bill.

From Betsy McCaughey at Bloomberg.

One new bureaucracy, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective. The goal is to reduce costs and “guide” your doctor’s decisions.

So the government is going to decide whether you really need that operation or treatment.
Doesn’t this goes against the oath of a doctor to practice medicine?

What penalties will deter your doctor from going beyond the electronically delivered protocols when your condition is atypical or you need an experimental treatment? The vagueness is intentional. In his book, Daschle proposed an appointed body with vast powers to make the “tough” decisions elected politicians won’t make.
The goal, Daschle’s book explained, is to slow the development and use of new medications and technologies because they are driving up costs. He praises Europeans for being more willing to accept “hopeless diagnoses” and “forgo experimental treatments,” and he chastises Americans for expecting too much from the health-care system.

Another words, hope is out of the questions when it comes to your failing health. Wonder what he thinks of the people who have out lived there doctors initial doomsday diagnostic. I am amazed that the cost of life is going to be more important than living. Does this mean that some premature born babies are going to be too costly to save and keep alive?

Elderly Hardest Hit
Daschle says health-care reform “will not be pain free.” Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them. That means the elderly will bear the brunt.

Sad, average life expectancy is about to take a hit. Maybe this will create a new job and stimulate the economy.
