As a physician who has authored books on preventative health care, I was given the opportunity to be the keynote speaker at a Congressional Dinner at The Capitol Building in Washington last Friday (7/17).
The presentation was entitled Health Care Reform, The Power & Profit of Prevention, and I was gratified that it was well received.
In preparation for the presentation, I read the latest version of "reform" as authored by The Obama Administration and supported by Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid. Here is the link to the 1,018 page document: http://edlabor.house.gov/documents/111/pdf/publications/AAHCA-BillText-071409.pd
Let me summarize just a few salient points of the above plan. First, however, it should be clear that the same warning notice must be placed on The ObamaCare Plan as on a pack of cigarettes: Consuming this product will be hazardous to your health.
The underlying method of cutting costs throughout the plan is based on rationing and denying care. There is no focus on preventing health care need whatever. The plan's method is the most inhumane and unethical approach to cutting costs I can imagine as a physician.
The rationing of care is implemented through The National Health Care Board, according to the plan. This illustrious Board "will approve or reject treatment for patients based on the cost per treatment divided by the number of years the patient will benefit from the treatment."
Translation.....if you are over 65 or have been recently diagnosed as having an advanced form of cardiac disease or aggressive cancer.....dream on if you think you will get treated.....pick out your coffin.
Oh, you say this could never happen? Sorry.... this is the same model they use in Britain.
The plan mandates that there will be little or no advanced treatments to be available in the future. It creates The Federal Coordinating Council For Comparative Effectiveness Research, the purpose of which is "to slow the development of new medications and technologies in order to reduce costs." Yes, this is to be the law.
The plan also outlines that doctors and hospitals will be overseen and reviewed by The National Coordinator For Health Information and Technology.
This " coordinator" will "monitor treatments being delivered to make sure doctors and hospitals are strictly following government guidelines that are deemed appropriate." It goes on to say....."Doctors and hospitals not adhering to guidelines will face penalties."
According to those in Congress, penalties could include large six figure financial fines and possible imprisonment.
So according to The ObamaCare Plan....if your doctor saves your life you might have to go to the prison to see your doctor for follow -up appointments. I believe this is the same model Stalin used in the former Soviet Union.
Section 102 has the Orwellian title, "Protecting the Choice to Keep Current Coverage." What this section really mandates is that it is illegal to keep your private insurance if your status changes - e.g., if you lose or change your job, retire from your job and become a senior, graduate from college and get your first job. Yes, illegal.
When Mr. Obama hosted a conference call with bloggers urging them to pressure Congress to pass his health plan as soon as possible, a blogger from Maine referenced an Investors Business Daily article that claimed Section 102 of the House health legislation would outlaw private insurance.
He asked: "Is this true? Will people be able to keep their insurance and will insurers be able to write new policies even though H.R. 3200 is passed?" Mr. Obama replied: "You know, I have to say that I am not familiar with the provision you are talking about."
Then there is Section 1233 of The ObamaCare Plan, devoted to "Advanced Care Planning." After each American turns 65 years of age they have to go to a mandated counseling program that is designed to end life sooner.
This session is to occur every 5 years unless the person has developed a chronic illness then it must be done every year. The topics in this session will include, "how to decline hydration, nutrition and how to initiate hospice care." It is no wonder The Obama Administration does not like my emphasis on Prevention. For Mr. Obama, prevention is the "enemy" as people would live longer.
I rest my case. The ObamaCare Plan is hazardous to the health of every American.
After I finished my Capitol Hill presentation, I was asked by a Congressman in the question-answer session: "I'll be doing a number of network interviews on the Obama Health Care Plan. If I am asked what is the one word to describe the plan what should I answer."
The answer is simple, honest, direct, analytical, sad but truthful. I told him that one word is FASCIST.
Then I added, "I hope you'll have the courage to use that word, Congressman. No other word is more appropriate."
Dr. Dave Janda, MD, is an orthopedic surgeon, and a world-recognized expert on the prevention of sports injuries, particularly in children. His website is noinjury.com.
We can’t stand another three and a half years of this fascist maniac.
Excellent article - need to thank this doctor for speaking up so plainly.
Wondering why more doctors are not speaking up!
Ping for email forwarding.
And the cut-off age of 65 will be defined down as more “savings” are needed....
The doctor is right ... Fascists would let you live your own life while arbitrarily granting authorization for your getting a life-saving medical procedure.
And as usual our media coverage of what is included in this bill has been nil, nothing, nada. They are all muffled!
Do these journalists even work? Has any one of them thought geez, this will affect my parents terribly - I must report this little bit of information for all of us to ponder!
This country has become incredible - thank goodness for the internet otherwise we would never know what our government is trying to do to us.
They asked for hopey-changey. Well, here it is.
Excellent description of what they are trying to pull.
Well that was straight forward and to the point.
It leaves nothing to the imagination.
Dr. Janda reconstructed my knee about 15 years ago in Ann Arbor, MI. He is a great surgeon. I had a conversation with him at the time about tort reform, etc. He is right on with his point of view on this. He’s a good man.
Outstanding article!

This is a must read!
I pass information like this along and everyone I know just ignores it. There is no hope.
Good article. I can’t believe America is on the brink of doing this to itself.
I know. But this is exatly the shit that those who call themselves voted so gleefully for November 4, 2008.
Soon it will be harvest time for the seeds they so gleefully sowed that day in November. See how much longer the sobs laugh.
The ultimate cost-saving for the Federal government is your death. They will codify it in the law to hasten that event through beaurocratic end-of life options planning. This is truely Orwellian. This should not happen in America.
I have been thinking about this Antichrist video that was posted here today.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mK_zh-X21f0
I decided to go look at the Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary.
The video uses an unused root of BAMAH which means
an elevation:—height, high place, wave
to further their thesis.
It can also mean a place in Palestine
and a place east of the Jordan river
Somebody has got to find this guy’s birth certificate before he destroys us.
bump to share
I’ll post the same as I just posted on another thread...
I would really like to use this but can’t confirm it anywhere. A review of his website shows he’s trying to sell books and a google search does not reveal this speech to a “Congressional Dinner”. I don’t doubt he wrote it but I’m having a hard time understanding his credentials or whether or not the “speech” comments are true.
This is not a slam at you but rather a plea for more information.
Thanks...
Since he revealed the word, the MSM will NEVER give him a chance to say it. He will be blacklisted.
Ping.
Everyone, conservative or liberal, who isn’t afraid ought to be.
Obama will ask us to die rather than receive life saving care. If this plan were in effect 2 years ago my mother probably would have been killed by the federal government but instead she got great care and is going to a family wedding next week.
It's like Atlas Shrugged with doctors instead of railroad owners ... also, the good guys lose at the end of the 1018 pages.
“If this plan were in effect 2 years ago my mother probably would have been killed by the federal government but instead she got great care and is going to a family wedding next week.”
Similar story in our family. Plus, if we hadn’t gotten a second opinion from another doctor who cared to find a diagnosis, she wouldn’t be here today. obamacare would make that second opinion ILLEGAL. There will be NO APPEALS of the government mandated course of care.

Bookmark to fight fascism.
The bill is so immoral it’s absolutely astounding.
If this bill is passed and Texas opts out of this I will move...and I hardly know anyone there but I bet lots of people would do the same.
For sure the idiots here on the left coast will go along with whatever the fascists tells them to do.
bump for later reference
And if not, then I am looking into life outside this country and taking my kids, two very recent Eagle Scouts included.
I was going to go on a diet/exercise plan in August but I’ll need these next 20yrs to abuse my body do I die a quick death around age 65-70. Why linger on govt waiting lists for pain pills and breathalyzers?
I call it ZeroCare. NadaCare. NoCare.
If you carry this a little farther, this could be the Government’s Rx to solve the Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid financial problems we face in the future. If the people die early, no more benefits to pay out, fiscal problems with these programs go away!
It wouldn’t surprise me.
I did a little investigation on Costa Rica. They have a dual system, private insurance for those who can afford it and a public option if you can’t afford private.
Not sure about the quality but seems like it would have to be better than zerocare that encourages death.
Very interesting. Good grief. I’m passing this one on to a couple of friends, and I’m curious what their response will be.
Yes, definitely a must-read. I’ve sent it to my email list.
Not only does the Bible give a clue..but so does the Torah
http://israelinsider.ning.com/forum/topics/torah-codes-predict-and-warn
At the end it says this
“The scholars, using the clues of the book of Daniel, say that Obama will rein as “King” for three and a half years. In their May broadcast, they ascribe special significance to the date of April 8, 2009, the day before the festival of Passover (Pesach), when the once-in-28-years “Blessing of the Sun” is to be recited. They believe that between now and that date there will be dramatic developments that involve Iran.”
Fair enough. If it makes you feel better, here is the Dr's office number if you want to call and confirm that he is the author of this letter: Dr. Dave Janda - Office: 734-434-3390
You can do your part (like I did mine and continue to do), make a copy of this letter, email it, to all your friends, neighbors, co-workers throughout the country. You can really make a difference.
Here are more suggestions:
- post this link or letter (with link) to all message boards that you can find. AARP, Seniors msg boards and forums. Trust me it WILL make a difference.

Excellent, excellent article and MUST READ!
Succinct and to the point, very good take on this bill and he hits the important points.
Yes, needs to be spread far and wide
