Did anyone catch Hannity and Colmes last when Tom Daschle was on, basically plugging his new book about Healthcare? Have you read much about his new book or his "Federal Health Board" proposal? Is Tom Daschle's idea what Obama has in store for us regarding Healthcare? Daschle has been quite the Obama sycophant, and Obama has praised Daschle's proposal.
The book was recently released and is available on Amazon. Here is what Obama has to say about it:
“The American health-care system is in crisis, and workable solutions have been blocked for years by deeply entrenched ideological divisions. Sen. Daschle brings fresh thinking to this problem, and his Federal Reserve for Health concept holds great promise for bridging this intellectual chasm and, at long last, giving this nation the health care it deserves.” —Senator Barack Obama (IL)
The Book (please wait at least 20 minutes after eating before reading):
"Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis"
http://www.amazon.com/Critical-What-About-Health-Care-Crisis/dp/0312383010
If you thought think the Federal Reserve Board is bad, this book and Daschle's "Big Ideas" re:Healthcare should send chills down your spine. A "Federal Health Board" system for Healthcare, i.e. The Federal Reserve for Healthcare, i.e. "Big Pharma calls the shots to pursue whatever its current profit-seeking agenda is" Scary stuff. I don't have the youtube but the clip of Daschle praising the Federal Reserve and his True Believer passion regarding this idea on Hannity and Colmes made me sick. Of course Daschle didn't bring up the coming $739B bailout which we know is merely one result of many from an unaccountable central counterfeiter.
Some excerpts from the Amazon review:
From Publishers Weekly
The U.S. is the only industrialized nation that does not guarantee necessary health care to all of its citizens, and as former senator Daschle observes, Skeptics say we can't afford to cover everyone; the truth is that we can't afford not to because U.S. economic competitiveness is being impeded by the large uninsured population and fast-rising health costs. Daschle's book delineates the weaknesses of previous attempts at national health coverage, outlines the complex economic factors and medical issues affecting coverage and sets forth plans for change. Daschle proposes creating a Federal Health Board, similar to the Federal Reserve System, whose structure, functions and enforcement capability would be largely insulated from the politics and passion of the moment, in addition to a merging of employers' plans, Medicaid and Medicare with an expanded FEHBP (Federal Employee Health Benefits Program) that would cover everyone. There is no more important issue facing our country, Daschle asserts, than reform of our health-care system, and the book's health-care horror stories bring this immediacy home. (Feb. 19)

"Daschle’s solution lies in the Federal Reserve Board, which has overseen the equally complicated financial system with great success. A Fed-like health board would offer a public framework within which a private health-care system can operate more effectively and efficiently—insulated from political pressure yet accountable to elected officials and the American people. Daschle argues that this independent board would create a single standard of care and exert tremendous influence on every other provider and payer, even those in the private sector."
Yes, accountable, to the people, and accountable to the Congress... just like the Federal Reserve is somehow held accountable for its actions I guess... oh wait... nevermind.... more propoganda and lies....
Soma anyone? Is this how Big Pharma is going to finish off the Healthcare debate? Much in the same way the Fed finished off the monetary debate? Will this be the door that the big pharma and the banksters use to sneak in and plunder (more)? Eugenics here we come, are you ready for a Brave New World?
