How long before having only one child is dictated?
Everything will be tied to our health and necessary for the well being of the planet.
With Obamacare and EPA dictates (they have been given complete control over their actions by the Supreme Court) they will know everything about you and you will have to comply.

Top insurer warns that Obamacare enrollment mix worse than expected [Humana, Medicare Advantage] "...............In the same filing, Humana said cuts to Medicare Advantage payments to private insurers made by the health care law would be steeper than expected, triggering changes to benefits.
"The Company expects to continue its standard process of seeking alternatives to minimize the disruption to Medicare beneficiaries this level of rate decline may cause," the filing read. "Such alternatives include clinical management programs, operating cost efficiencies, benefit changes, market exits and other operating strategies. In the interim, the Company also expects to continue its efforts to educate CMS, the Administration and Congress on the adverse impact such rate pressures have upon Medicare beneficiaries."

We have built an electronic platform for medical records, which now connects hospitals across our state and serves as a common system for alerting doctors when their patients are in the emergency room, querying prescription databases to identify people abusing pain medications and generating maps of preventable disease and costs. An electronic platform for behavioral control, problem patient identification, 'whale' patient identification (and the corresponding resource-drain patients), prescriptions linked directly to BATFE and NICS, and cost data that will enable death panels to make a more accurate and equitable death verdict.
Yep, pretty much sums it up.

Many states are encouraging healthcare studies in public schools. Here is one example - from California:
“.....The goal of the health careers education program is to establish a rich, rigorous, integrated health careers path, kindergarten through employment, to serve students from every school in California. Establishing quality integrated programs that are accessible to all students will enable them to fulfill their individual career goals and will help meet the health care industry’s human resource demands.”....

I can only imagine the size of the union that will blossom under this influx of workers into careers in “medical care.”

A "look" at the road map ahead: From the UK Telegraph today:
3.2 million think there is no point saving for old age as it will be swallowed by care bills" More than three million middle aged and retired people have effectively given up saving for their old age believing there is no point because it will only be taken away to pay for care, research shows.
Britains biggest charity working with elderly people warned that the Governments long-awaited overhaul of the care system, currently before Parliament, will fail if large numbers of people simply abandon saving for later life.
Age UK said that the new system, which will cap the amount people have to pay for care in their lifetime, relies on people being able to make a contribution to the cost and could be thrown into crisis if too many people turn their back on saving.
The system, based on the recommendations of a landmark Commission chaired by the economist Andrew Dilnot, is due to come into force in just over two years time.
It will introduce a theoretical £72,000 cap on the amount anyone has to pay for their care in their lifetime, overhaul the system of assessing whether people are frail enough to need care and prevent those who do have to pay having to sell their home.........."
To: All
There's the
"promise" again -- this one made in the UK - about "universal" scheme...
"....But polling, carried out for Age UK, suggests that the reforms have so far failed to persuade enough reassurance to people to plan for their future needs.
It comes after ministers were accused of betraying elderly people after it became clear that a promised universal scheme meant to prevent people having to sell their home to pay for care would not be available to hose with modest savings...." 3.2 million think there is no point saving for old age as it will be swallowed by care bills
To: Cincinatus' Wife
...the state will set global budgets and other alternative approaches to payment that reward clinical systems of care for providing improved outcomes at lower costs.Doctor: "Well, Mr. or Ms. name, we've made a decision to not treat you in order to keep our global budget in check and keep our costs lower! Sorry, we can't help you!"

True.
It’s as plain as the nose on my face.

Just remember when socialist speak, the exact opposite of what they say is truth. Marylanders should be very concerned.
To: Cincinatus' Wife
First they came for the old and infirm, and I said nothing, because I was not old or unwell.
That’s how it starts.
Finally, they came for me, and I said nothing, because there was no one left to hear.
That’s how it ends.

Patient: Cough - cough
Receptionist: Hello; what can the United States Health and Wellbeing Service do for you?
Patient: I have this bad cough.
Receptionist: I can see that; what can the United States Health and Wellbeing Service do for you?
Patient: I need some medicine to cure it.
Receptionist: That might be true; what can the United States Health and Wellbeing Service do for you?
Patient: I need to see the Doctor.
Receptionist: That might be true; but really you just WANT to see the Doctor.
Patient: No; I really need to see him about this cough. It's getting worse.
Receptionist: If you insist. Sit down with this pad of forms and fill in the data.
Patient: OOf! that is HEAVY! I thought the United States Health and Wellbeing Service got rid of paper LONG ago?
Receptionist: We did; but the HatefulConservatives kept complaining that patients identities were constantly being stolen and they wanted to starve children by making us go back to paper files again.
Patient: I see.
Receptionist: Mumble: I'll bet you do...
a few moments later...
Patient: Miss;
Receptionist: That's MS; if you please!
Patient: Ok; MS; the text on the page is AWFULLY small and my bleary eyes cannot make out a lot of it.
Receptionist: (heavy sigh) OK; what can the United States Health and Wellbeing Service do for you?
Patient: Could someone HELP me with this?
Receptionist: LOOK! I get paid to ask you "What can the United States Health and Wellbeing Service do for you?" NOT baby sit your problems! You should have brought in a caregiver if you needed help!!
Patient: But I didn't know...
Receptionist: OK, ok, ok... I'll read them to you; but do NOT let anyone else in the waiting room know.
Patient: All right.
Receptionist: 1. Have you followed the United States Health and Wellbeing Service Guideline for Good Health rules and regulations?
Patient: I think so.
Receptionist: Yes or No!
Patient: Uh; yes.
Receptionist: 2. HAve you exercized the correct hours each day, as prescribed by the United States Health and Wellbeing Service Guideline for Good Health rules and regulations?
Patient: Yes.
Receptionist: 3. have you eaten the correct amount of fruit, as prescribed by the United States Health and Wellbeing Service Guideline for Good Health rules and regulations?
Patient: Yes.
Receptionist: 4. Have you drunk the correct fluids, as prescribed by the United States Health and Wellbeing Service Guideline for Good Health rules and regulations?
Patient: Yes.
Receptionist: 5. Have you had sex, in the authorized positions, as prescribed by the United States Health and Wellbeing Service Guideline for Good Health rules and regulations?
Patient: WHAT???
Receptionist: 5. Have you had sex, in the ...
Patient: I HEARD THAT!!! What!!??!!
Receptionist: Sigh; did you NOT receive the update from the United States Health and Wellbeing Service that amended the Guideline for Good Health rules and regulations - Rev 13.69?
Patient: uh; I only have a copy that is Rev 13.68...
Receptionist: Ah... there's your problem. Since you've NOT followed the Guideline for Good Health rules and regulations COMPLETELY; it is evident that you have made yourSELF sick; and we at the United States Health and Wellbeing Service only treat those who have gotten sick from FOLLOWING the rules.
Patient: But...
Receptionist: Next!!!
