There's a pretty starling thing in the bill that 95% of Americans won't like. The Obama Health care bill under Class II (Paragraph 1, Section B) specifically includes ‘‘(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 in15 formation 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 ...

State control of health care will change our political culture, for the worse and forever MARK STEYN Health care is a game-changer. The permanent game-changer. The pendulum will swing, and one day, despite their best efforts, the Republicans will return to power, and, in the right circumstances, the bailouts and cap-and-trade and Government Motors and much of the rest can be reversed. But the government annexation of health care will prove impossible to roll back. It alters the relationship between the citizen and the state and, once that transformation is effected, you can click your ruby slippers all you want but you'll never get back to Kansas. Why's that? Well, first, the ...

Obamacare: A Pretext for Centralized Government Intrusion Into Personal Privacy Thursday, August 27, 2009, 1:18 PM Wesley J. Smith The more people read the House Bill–the prime Obamacare vehicle–the worse it gets. Now, in the name of health reform, all of our tax information will be made available to our health overseers. From the CBS story: Section 431(a) of the bill says that the IRS must divulge taxpayer identity information, including the filing status, the modified adjusted gross income, the number of dependents, and “other information as is prescribed by” regulation. That information will be provided to the new Health Choices Commissioner and state health ...

All CAMC Health System workers must get vaccinated by Dec. 15 or their employment will be terminated, CAMC said in its August newsletter Vital Signs. "The strongest recommendation that's out there is to take the vaccine every year," CAMC Director of Epidemiology Terrie Lee said Tuesday.

Statins Cause Serious Structural Muscle Damage

(NaturalNews) – If there is a super star in Big Pharma’s list of money making drugs, it may well be the group of medications known as statins. The New York Times reported last year that statins are, in fact, the biggest selling drugs in the world. Their names, like Lipitor and Crestor, are familiar from countless television and magazine ads and almost everyone knows someone taking a statin. Promoted widely as safe, they are actually known to cause a litany of potential side effects. For example, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) web site notes that about one in 1,000 of those taking statins suffer from muscle pain. Usually, these aches go away. But not always. And now new ...
Fear, Greed and X-Rays

Fear and greed are potent motivators. When both of these forces push in the same direction, virtually no human being can resist. And doctors -- despite many expectations to the contrary -- are human beings. This is one reason why medical costs in the U.S. have spiraled out of control, yet we are among the least healthy people in the developed world. On the fear side, consider this email I got from a physician friend who had read galleys of my book Why Our Health Matters: A Vision of Medicine That Can Transform Our Future which will be released September 8, 2009: "You should spend some time with me in our ER, which is totally typical of what is going on all over the U.S. Incredibly ...
Anti-Obamacare Ad BANNED by ABC and NBC

Maybe Mickey Mouse is in the tank for Obama as much as General Electric, Both Disney-owned ABC and GE-owned NBC are refusing to run anti-Obamacare ads from the League of American Voters, which features a neurosurgeon who warns that a government-run health care system will lead to the rationing of procedures and medicine, especially for seniors. Maybe Disney is feels it owes something to Obama because ACORN registered good old Mickey to vote. The networks supposedly rejected the ad because there was not enough proof of the claims in the ad. Of course NBC ran a Today Show special in the White House talking about Health Care, and ABC ran a prime time Obamacare special. Here's some of ...

His discussion of healthcare starts at 4:40 on the video: You'll appreciate his general comments, not just about healthcare. I think that American candidates of the conservative or libertarian persuasion need to study his rhetoric and his book. Hannan represents much of what once made Britain a great country. He is like a Tony Blair of the Right.
Early and Current Fears about Vaccine Dangers

Early and Current Fears about Vaccine Dangers - by Stephen Lendman Given today's hysteria over a non-existent Swine Flu threat and possible mandating of experimental, untested, toxic, and likely bioengineered vaccines, it's appropriate to review early fears about their dangers - when evidence first surfaced and concerns were raised. In 1920, Charles Michael Higgins' "Horrors of Vaccination Exposed and Illustrated: Petition to the President to Abolish Compulsory Vaccination in Army and Navy" (now available in a new 2008 edition) issued a "Public Challenge to Health Departments" in citing "Deaths from Vaccination Denied and Concealed - More Deaths from ...

Aug. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Children were 14 times more likely to be sickened by swine flu than adults 60 and older, the age group that is typically the most at risk for influenza, according to a U.S. study of the disease. Children ages 5 to 14 became ill with swine flu, also known as H1N1, at a rate of 147 per 100,000 people, according to the study of 1,557 confirmed illnesses, including seven deaths, in Chicago from April to July, months when the flu virus usually doesn’t spread. The findings were reported today by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. U.S. health officials are planning a vaccination campaign that will focus on those who are disproportionately ...
MANDATORY VACCINATIONS? TELL FEDS AND STATES TO 'STICK IT'

"This doesn't appear to be an especially deadly strain," said Deborah Lehman, Director of Pediatric Infectious Disease at Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles. "At this point it looks like the seasonal flu will be responsible for more deaths than swine flu." The Internet has been burning up for months with this question: Will there be forced vaccinations for the H1N1 'swine flu'? The WHO (World Health Organization) has been making splashy headlines about a "coming pandemic" that will dwarf anything seen in the history of the world! Who gives a tinker's damn what the WHO says?

Microchannels Could Advance Tissue Engineering Methods ScienceDaily (Aug. 18, 2009) — Utilizing fractal patterns similar to those created by lightning strikes, Victor Ugaz, associate professor in the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University, has created a network of microchannels that could advance the field of tissue engineering by serving as a three-dimensional vasculature for the support of larger tissue constructs, such as human organs. Ugaz's work, which was undertaken with colleague Arul Jayaraman and appears in the July online version of Advanced Materials, is funded by the National Institutes of Health. The findings detail the ...

(NaturalNews) It's emblazoned across the front page of USA Today, just underneath a subhead declaring Michael Jackson was, indeed, killed by a drug overdose: "Flu could infect half of USA." The article goes on to describe the predicted number of deaths expected in the U.S. (30,000 - 90,000 Americans) as well as the actions being taken by the government to protect Americans from the coming swine flu pandemic.
That advice reads sort of like a comic book of health care advice for kindergarteners: Wash your hands, cover your mouth if you cough and let "the grownups" take care of the rest by injecting you with a vaccine. Curiously absent from all the health advice being handed out on ...

Lieberman Sees Recession Delaying Reform Written by Steven J.

And I think the place to start is cost health delivery reform and insurance market reforms.” Lieberman may be trying to counter the possibility that Democrats would abandon the White House’s ...

VA Wrongly Says Vets Have Fatal Disease Written by Steven J. DuBord Wednesday, 26 August 2009 07:30 The Veterans Affairs Department has mistakenly told some veterans that they have ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, the Associated Press reported on August 24. This is no small misdiagnosis; the disease is usually fatal within five years. VA spokeswoman Katie Roberts says that letters about disability benefits were mailed to 1,864 veterans with ALS. According to Roberts, a “small number” of veterans have informed the VA that they received the letters in error. But the National Gulf War Resource Center says that 2,500 letters were sent, and almost half were sent to ...

Swine flu shot protection? Maybe by Thanksgiving

ATLANTA — It will likely be Thanksgiving before a significant number of Americans who get the swine flu vaccine are protected, health officials said Monday. Roughly 50 million doses of vaccine are expected to be available by mid-October. But for those who get initial doses right away, that will only mark the beginning of a vaccination process that will take five or more weeks. Here's why: Health officials believe most people will need two shots, spaced three weeks apart, and it will take a week or two after the second dose before immunity kicks in. That's five or six weeks in all. That means large numbers of Americans won't be fully immunized until Thanksgiving, said ...

Questions & Answers Questions and Answers Regarding Estimating Deaths from Influenza in the United States How many people die from flu each year in the United States? The number of influenza-associated (i.e., flu-related) deaths varies from year to year because flu seasons often fluctuate in length and severity. CDC estimated that about 36,000 people died of flu-related causes each year, on average, during the 1990s in the United States. This figure includes people dying from complications of flu. This estimate came from a 2003 study published in the Journal of the American Medication Association (JAMA), which looked at the 1990-91 through the 1998-99 flu seasons [10]. Statistical ...
Officials Weigh Circumcision to Fight H.I.V. Risk

Public health officials are considering promoting routine circumcision for all baby boys born in the United States to reduce the spread of H.I.V., the virus that causes AIDS. The topic is a delicate one that has already generated controversy, even though a formal draft of the proposed recommendations, due out from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by the end of the year, has yet to be released. Experts are also considering whether the surgery should be offered to adult heterosexual men whose sexual practices put them at high risk of infection. But they acknowledge that a circumcision drive in the United States would be unlikely to have a drastic impact: the procedure does not ...
