LPACTV: Franklin Roosevelt and Public Health

Posted on March 6th, 2010 by admin

Where does the standard for Universal American Healthcare come from? Franklin Roosevelt’s Hill-Burton standard. The current “health reform” proposal of President Barack Obama comes no where close to the breakthrough healthcare policy that Roosevelt established in the 1940’s, and furthermore, Obama’s policy if not defeated will kill more people than the Nazi’s did with their “health reform”. There are much deeper issues that must be considered in crafting a successful Health Care policy today, issues of mortality, immortality, making decisions based on the future, what is real value versus monetary value and so on. These were the kinds of issues Roosevelt had to confront PERSONALLY, in his near death experience with polio. The discoveries made by Roosevelt in personally overcoming the limitations of his mortality gave him the proper lens through which to situate his identity in the long span of history, and think of policies like healthcare as security for the posterity of the nation and a defence of the gereral welfare as our constitution dictates, rather than today’s cost cutting fiscally frenzied President. So, the time has come to learn the lessons of Franklin Roosevelt’s approach to public health. Repeal HMO’s and Revive the Hill-Burton standard!

Obama’s Health Care Policy: Hitler’s T-4

Posted on February 13th, 2010 by admin

The “health care reform” of President Barack Obama is an exact copy of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi T-4 board, set up to deny care and kill off undesired sections of the population. This policy must be stopped… even if that requires Obama’s impeachment for crimes against humanity.

Adorable Puppy Explains Health Care Bill

Posted on February 7th, 2010 by admin

In which John offers a summary of the health care reform bill that just passed the U.S. senate, discussing the insurance exchange market, pre-existing condition clauses, medicare taxes, and other fine points of the still-under-debate bill. Here’s a good explanation of how the insurance exchanges will look like: http://bit.ly/eIwNE

Thanks to Alan Lastufka
( http://youtube.com/fallofautumndistro ) for the Ben Nelson asshat photo.

About abortion: The senate plan works like this: Policies covering abortion would be available in the exchange market (at least in some states), but those plans would have to collect two separate premiums–one covering everything other than abortion, and one for abortion coverage. The subsidy (available to all families making less than about $88,000 a year depending on number of kids) would only apply to the non-abortion policy.

If this seems like a hilariously stupid distinction, that’s because it is. Ultimately, it of course doesn’t matter which policy the subsidy goes toward. But then again, every federal program “supports” abortion in some way. For instance, without federally funded highways, it would be impossible for most women to get abortions. All government spending indirectly goes to support all activity in America, but it’s ridiculous to say that, for instance, food stamps encourage meth use, even though sometimes people trade meth for food they bought with food stamps. It’s equally disingenuous to say that this bill will allow federal funding of abortions, unless you’re willing to argue that all government spending funds abortion.
