(CNSNews.com) - Under the Affordable Care Act, the Health and Human Services Department is spending billions of dollars to expand community health clinics, which are mainly staffed by nurse practitioners and physician assistants.
"It's going to be one part of a complex part of the health care system," Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, one of the architects of Obamacare, told Fox News's Bill O'Reilly Tuesday night. "So if your kid has a sore throat and you want to find out if it's strep throat, or your kid has what appears to be an ear infection and you want to find out if it's otitis media -- you really don't need to go to the pediatrician. You can go to these clinics."
"But there aren't any doctors," O'Reilly said.
"Well, you don't need a doctor for every part of your health care," Emanuel responded.
"You don't need a doctor," O'Reilly echoed. "If I want a strep throat diagnosis, I don't want Lenny who just came out of the community college..."
"Excuse me, but those are nurse practitioners -- it's not Lenny out of a community college," Emanuel said. "And it is just putting a swab back there and getting a strep throat assessment."
Emanuel said electronic health records make it possible for the clinic to send the diagnosis to a patient's primary physician.
"Are you worried?" O'Reilly asked. "Say you had VD, STD -- I'm sure you don't."
"Please, don't insult me," Emanuel replied.
O'Reilly said he's worried about the privacy of electronic medical records.
"We have laws to protect the privacy," Emanuel said. Several times, he accused O'Reilly of "sowing fear with no grounds."
"You know me, I'm afraid of everything," O'Reilly said. "Say TMZ offers somebody like $5,000 to get a famous person's medical records. Is that unheard of? Is that unheard of? Come on, is that unheard of? You know it goes on all the time."
"They will not, they have high security and everyone is well aware of this, and they are taking it seriously. And if they -- if they didn't, they would have already offered that for electronic health records and we would have seen the breach."
Emanuel said 80 percent of doctors now use electronic health records -- "and there has not been that kind of breach... And there is not a single case, Mr. O'Reilly, of those medical records being breached for things like STDs or a very famous Hollywood star's medical records."
Yeah, us dads are useless when it comes to taking care of our children. :(

We don’t need bureaucrats and politicians as part of our health care.
Our local clinic goes by income. You could catch anything just sitting in the waiting room- and pay through the nose for the privilege. The seating is row after row of metal chairs, all close together.
A doctor does not usually dispense Jewish penicillin (chicken soup).

cold calcuatiosn about the worth of a life and the amount of medical resourcse that should be allocated by “society” to “it”
Ezekiel Emmanuel’s healthplan philosophy
BTW they already have throat swab strep clinics at some of the pharmacies, cost about $10 for a walk in diagnosis and then cheap antibiotics (they were free several years ago)
Problem is, strep often does not have symptoms of a sore throat
and if a sore throat is not strep it still could be more than a simple sore throat
The Democrats ARE an STD!!
You don’t need insurance for most of your health care either.
“Obamacare Architect: ‘You Don’t Need a Doctor for Every Part of Your Health Care”.............
We don’t need a dumbass for a president either, not to even mention the senate and congress.
That is how the country learned that Anthony Perkins had AIDS. Someone in a medical lab had access to his blood sample and had it tested for AIDS. The person never revealed him/herself. Having been in the medical lab setting for 40 years, I can tell you this is absolutely verboten. But the highest bidder can always find out what they want by trolling around. And the Gov’t holding ALL MEDICAL INFO ON EVERYONE leaves EVERYONE vulnerable and open to blackmail. Especially the Gov’t’s (whichever side is in control) enemies.
Zeke is Doctor Kevorkian, with power.
Sure, blown out knee, go to the trainer at the local HS. Cut your finger off, shop teacher can seal the wound with a torch and wrap the nub in electrical tape.
wax in your ear, car wash
No problem....but I bet Emmanuel will have a doctor for a hang nail...
Yes Virginia, there are two America’s
NBC news reported the other night that the cost of a normal childbirth averages around $32,000. That’s up from $7,700 in 2004. What’s going on, folks? Who’s getting the money?
“A person with just a little bit of knowledge can take care of most minor problems themselves.”
All major problems initially present themselves as ‘minor problems’.
REAL Doctors know this and will administer the proper tests.
REAL Doctors have much more at stake than a PA, NP, NA etc.
If I’m paying for a REAL Doctor, then I want to see a REAL Doctor. I want to see a person that could lose their license to practice, their home, BMW and all their money if they screw up on a diagnosis.
I do NOT want some fat under-educated Nurse’s Assistant that received her “certification” through a state program to get her off weffare and footamps in charge of my health, even at the lowest levels.
Before you all flame me, I will say that there are many, if not most PA’s, NP’s & NA’s that are more than capable of doing their jobs correctly.
Just pointing out what I have personally seen and experienced in the past few years.
Sounds like the Dept of Motor Vehicles.
The control obsessed perverts are everywhere. In our wallets, in our food, in our bedrooms, bathrooms, living rooms, cars, doctor’s offices, workplaces...
He is correct. The death panels will only need serial killers.
