What Death Panels? Cancer tests to be cut back!

Progressives cried foul when Sarah Palin said Obamcare would lead to death panels. They attacked and smeared any Conservative who pointed out that once the government gets involved in healthcare and expands coverage, they would then have to ration it. Well the rationing has begun. The American Society of Clinical Oncology has recommended 5 cancer tests that should not be given. They claim it hurts the patients, but clearly this was done to reduce the amount of care given.

NEW YORK (Reuters) – In a move that threatens to further inflame concerns about the rationing of medical care, the nation’s leading association of cancer physicians issued a list on Wednesday of five common tests and treatments that doctors should stop offering to cancer patients.

The list emerged from a two-year effort, similar to a project other medical specialties are undertaking, to identify procedures that do not help patients live longer or better or that may even be harmful, yet are routinely prescribed.

As much as 30 percent of health-care spending goes to procedures, tests, and hospital stays that do not improve a patient’s health, according to a 2008 analysis by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget office.

“Our goal was to improve care and improve the value of the care we deliver,” said Dr. Lowell Schnipper, a cancer physician at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center who led the task force assembled by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). The group of more than 200 oncologists released the list from a report in its Journal of Clinical Oncology.

[….]

Following the science, however, can lead to conclusions that do not sit well with all patients. Shari Baker, who was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer eight years ago and has been in remission since 2007, has already felt the brunt of one of the recommendations: that patients who have been successfully treated for breast cancer and have no symptoms of cancer not undergo CT, PET, other imaging, or bone scans to check for a recurrence or spread of the disease, known as metastasis.

“As a survivor of bone metastasis — the breast cancer had spread to my spine — after my doctor told me I was clear those PET scans were my peace of mind,” said Baker, a jewelry designer in Scottsdale, Ariz. “By the time you have symptoms it’s too late.”

Her insurer, guided by the same kind of studies that served as the basis for the ASCO list, would not cover the scan, citing that it provides no benefit.

This is rationing pure and simple. The Progressives can lie all they want, but the truth is with government demands to reduce costs, it will be the patients who bear the burden. Pray the Supreme Court throws out Obamcare. Our lives literally depend on it!

GOP to defund Obamacare

The House GOP has announced a plan to enact 74 billion in cuts. This is a small amount but its a start. This follows Rand Paul’s 500 Billion dollar in cuts proposals. These proposals are moving in the right direction, but they have a bigger target. Majority leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) has announced that the GOP will target Obamacare for defunding. Since they can’t repeal the bill due to The Democrats control of the Senate and Obama’s veto pen, they just will not appropriate money for it.

If House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) gets his way, Obamacare may die due to lack of funding.

The House has already voted to repeal the measure and a federal judge ruled it unconstitutional.

Nevertheless, Democrats are determined to see it fully implemented.

Senate Republicans failed to repeal the law when Minority Leader Mitch McConnell added it to an aviation bill as an amendment.

But the Virginia Republican told CNS News Tuesday that “one way or the other” there would be no funding for Obamacare in the upcoming continuing resolution that will keep the government funded through fiscal year 2011.

Read the rest:  Republicans will defund Obamacare ‘one way or the other’

Good on the part of the Republicans. Clearly they have heeded the message of the American people. We don’t want this Eugenics based Obamacare nonsense. With their proposals to cut off federal funding of abortion, no bailouts for pensions, the 74 Billion in cuts and defunding Obamacare, they are showing real spine.

I hope they take on Tax and regulatory reform next. Budget cuts are good, but we need incentives for investments which lead to job creation. This is the first time since the Reagan years and briefly in 1995 that GOP is addressing economic concerns. They seem to be going back towards their roots.

When is the murder of hundreds of living babies okay with liberals? When it’s done by an abortionist

“He (Dr. Kermit Gosnell) was charged with the murder of babies who were fully delivered; he induced labor, delivered the babies and then stuck a scissors in the back of their necks and mercilessly killed them. Their first breath was also their last.”– Lori Ziganto, writing on redstate.com

“As I understand it, this puts the burden on the attending physician who has determined, since they were performing this procedure, that, in fact, this is a nonviable fetus; that if that fetus, or child — however way you want to describe it — is now outside the mother’s womb and the doctor continues to think that it’s nonviable but there’s, let’s say, movement or some indication that, in fact, they’re not just coming out limp and dead…”

So said then-IL state Senator Barack Hussein Obama, debating a “Born Alive” bill in Illinois, which would require doctors who perform abortions to allow babies who survive the procedure to live.

I’m pro-life, but putting that aside, the amazing thing to me is that they actually needed a law for this. The bill, which would have required the abortionist to do everything medically possible to help this living human being survive, did not pass, due to the lib majority in the IL senate, including Obama. Obama had a problem with this bill, but not because the aborted baby was born alive, a living human being.

No, Obama could not have cared less, and would have allowed a living human being to die because the baby survived the abortion, and not give a damn whatsoever about that precious child.

Unbelievably, he was actually worried more about the “burden” on the abortionist, while not being the least bit concerned about the living baby.

Obama objected to the idea that babies born alive after surviving the attempted abortion are anything more than pre-viable fetuses, because as living human beings, they would be protected by the constitution.

And in his radical leftist mind, that would lead to the barring of and/or reduction of the number of abortions.

At least five babies spent their last hours left to die in the soiled utility closet at Christ Hospital in 2001 alone; one even managed to live for almost 8 hours. Untold numbers suffered the same fate while Barack Obama sat on legislation to stop these horrendous acts of infanticide.

What a disgusting, evil POS he is (FYI, Christ Hospital is affiliated with the liberal Evangelical Lutheran Church, not the Catholic Church).

Had you ever heard of this monster, Dr. Kermit Gosnell? Probably not, because the MSM is doing their best not to cover this. This POS medical doctor murderer is evil personified. He killed babies that were born alive by sticking a pair of scissors in the back of their necks and severing their spinal cords. Hundreds of them.

Most were black babies born to poor inner-city black women. These were living, breathing human beings that this monster killed. It’s premeditated murder, in my opinion, since he knew what he was doing and knew it would cause the death of these living human beings. For money. Some of the mothers of these babies he murdered also died from his evil actions. He’s no different than any other mass murderer. He should be executed after he is convicted.

Thanks to reprehensible leftist organizations, such as the fraudulently named Planned Parenthood, and the liberals and feminists who vociferously support it, and abortion on demand, the black population in America now is half of what it should be. Go back and read that sentence again.

Three quarters of abortion clinics are in inner-city areas, and 80% of abortions are done on black women.

But, of course, because libs are libs, don’t hold your breath waiting for race-bating poverty pimps, such as Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton, to protest this mass murder of black babies.

They, like most libs, don’t give a damn about the black children who were murdered by Gosnell, because they can’t blame the murders on Bush, Cheney, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, or the Tea Party organizations.

Thanks to the liberals on the Supreme Court, who, in 1973, somehow interpreted that there’s a constitutional “right to privacy”, even though those words appear nowhere in the Constitution, approximately 55 million babies have been aborted.

Give credit to former Democrat governor Ed Rendell, who left office earlier this month, and said he was “flabbergasted” upon finding out about this atrocity, and current Republican Gov. Tom Corbett, who has ordered a thorough investigation as to why state and local agencies did not report Gosnell’s activities before now.

Michelle Malkin wrote about this a couple of days ago, as did Lori Ziganto at redstate.com, about this ghoul’s heinous actions, and about how liberals in Pennsylvania, including former Republican governor Tom Ridge, allowed it to happen, EVEN THOUGH THEY KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING!

The Philadelphia Horror: How mass murder gets a pass
By Michelle Malkin

The mainstream news reports about Philadelphia’s serial baby-killer Kermit Gosnell and his abortion clinic death squad only scratch the surface of his barbaric enterprise. You must, must, must read the entire, graphic, 281-page grand jury report (embedded after my column below) to fully fathom the systematic execution of hundreds of (not just seven) healthy, living, breathing, squirming, viable babies — along with an untold number of mothers who may have lost their lives in his sick, grimy chamber of horrors as well. It is explicit. It is enraging. It will haunt you.

Ask yourself why you are not hearing about which root causes and whose rhetoric are to blame for this four-decades-long massacre — just the tip of a blood-soaked iceberg defended by the predators of Planned Parenthood. You know the answer: If it doesn’t help the Left criminalize conservatism, it’s not worth discussing.

From the conclusion of the grand jury report: “It is not our job to say who should be fired or demoted. We believe, however, that anyone responsible for permitting Gosnell to operate as he did should face strong disciplinary action up to and including termination. This includes not only the people who failed to do the inspecting, the prosecuting, and the protecting, but also those at the top who obviously tolerated, or even encouraged, the inaction. The Department of State literally licensed Gosnell’s criminally dangerous behavior. DOH gave its stamp of approval to his facility. These agencies do not deserve the public’s trust. The fate of Karnamaya Mongar and countless babies with severed spinal cords is proof that people at those departments were not doing their jobs. Those charged with protecting the public must do better.”

Over to you, eugenics-inspired, eco-freak Obama science czar John Holdren…

Kermit Gosnell and Roe v. Wade: Something Evil This Way Came
By Lori Ziganto

Yesterday it was reported that Kermit Gosnell, an abortionist, was arrested and charged with eight counts of murder. He was charged with the murder of babies who were fully delivered; he induced labor, delivered the babies and then stuck a scissors in the back of their necks and mercilessly killed them. Their first breath, was also their last. Lacking even the dignity of a human touch; no one holding their tiny, innocent hand coursing with life’s blood, as that life left their tiny bodies. Eyes opening, trying to focus for the first time and trustingly seek out the security of the face belonging to the voice they’d heard for many months inside the womb. Struggling to survive, as the will to live is strong, even in the most tiny and vulnerable.

He was not charged with the murders of babies he killed the same way – earning $1.8 million in one year alone for doing so – only inside the womb.

Gosnell’s abortion mill was a gruesome house of evil. When police searched Gosnell’s facilities, they found that “bags and bottles holding aborted fetuses were scattered throughout the building. Jars containing the severed feet of babies lined a shelf.” This grotesque cretin kept severed feet as some sort of macabre serial killer trophy.

The State of Pennsylvania knew this. And ignored it. Allowing him to commit murder, time and time again, for decades. Their reasoning? Inspecting abortion mills clinics and requiring that they have basic safety standards would result in “putting up a barrier to women” and their ‘choice’. The ‘choice’ is never explicitly said because by choice they, of course, mean the purposeful killing of a baby. Barbara Boxer and even our own President would have believed the same. Barbara Boxer believes that a right to life does not exist until a mother ‘chooses’ to take her baby home, alive, from the hospital. President Obama, when a state senator in Illinois, had more concern for abortionists than for the babies whose lives they snuff out. He cared more about protecting the vile excuses for human beings like Kermit Gosnell than the babies they were attempting to kill. He believes that babies who are born alive during an abortion attempt should legally be left to die.

Obamacare to determine what benefits are covered

The Progressives promise that  Obamacare doesn’t mean a government takeover of health care. This is a total lie as many companies are seeking waivers from the law since they can’t afford the mandates. Health care costs are skyrocketing as  insurance companies are forced to increase what they cover. The Federal government is imposing what is needed to be covered, hence de facto control over the system.

WASHINGTON — Even as House Republicans vow to repeal the health care law, government advisers are preparing this week to wade into one of the most contentious questions the legislation raises: What benefits must insurers cover?

The answer will affect tens of millions of Americans beginning in 2014: those who buy their own insurance and those who get coverage through small employers.

While the law outlines 10 broad categories of coverage — among them hospital and emergency services, prescription drugs, childbirth and pediatric care — it leaves specifics to the government.

Read the rest: Feds to decide what benefits health insurers must cover

Joe Wilson said it it best, they lied. Barack Hussein Obama and his Khmer Rouge like Progressive cronies lied about the intentions of this law. It’s not about health care, it’s about control over people’s lives. It is an early step to the Left’s long cherished goals of eugenics and population control. The means to achieve this is to force private insurers out of business and then the government will be the only provider in town. That was their goal all along and we are seeing the plan implemented before our eyes.

Addendum: The Face of Evil

Radical totalitarian Progressive with a bible Fred Phelps is an evil human being. Here is his comments on the tragedy that occurred in Arizona.

This is the face of evil!
