Sen. Ted Kennedy's Government Health Plan ( Socialism ) -- June 6, 2009
"American Health Choices Act " .... Medical Advisory Council established :
The new government-run program would pay doctors and hospitals at Medicare rates, plus 10 percent.
Mr. Kennedy’s bill would also establish a new insurance program to provide home- and community-based care for 10 million people with severe disabilities
Under the Kennedy bill, individuals would be subject to financial penalties if they did not have health insurance....The penalties would be added to a person’s tax bill and collected by the Internal Revenue Service
The secretary of health and human services would establish the new government-sponsored plan, which would compete directly with private insurers. Republicans strenuously oppose a government-run plan

Jerusalem : International Bio-Med Center ( drug innovation ) -- June 16, 2009
"I am personally committed to the field of biomed and the health and life sciences business cluster as a core competitive advantage that we must exploit in Jerusalem," Barkat said. "Among other things, I intend to award financial incentives in order to encourage international companies to put down roots in Jerusalem, as well as to define Jerusalem as a Special Economic Zone with tax benefits for high-tech and biotech companies. These steps are intended to turn Jerusalem, the health and life sciences capital of the State of Israel, into a renowned partner in the international arena."
Currently, Jerusalem leads Israel in the field of life sciences, with approximately 43% of all biotech research and about half of all clinical research in the country performed at Hebrew University and Hadassah Medical Center, respectively. In addition, Jerusalem hosts the only technological incubator in Israel dedicated to drug development, BioLine Innovations Jerusalem. Recent successes in the field originating at Hebrew University include two innovative drugs, Doxil and Exelon, which are sold worldwide at over a billion dollars annually."

DHS may determine quarantines -- May 4, 2009
" Federal quarantine authority is limited to diseases listed in presidential executive orders; President Bush added "novel" forms of influenza with the potential to create pandemics in Executive Order 13375. Anyone violating a quarantine order can be punished by a $250,000 fine and a one-year prison term
Quarantines are hardly new: their history stretches at least as far back as the Bible, which describes a seven-day period of isolation that priests must impose when an infection is apparent. The word literally means a period of 40 days, which cities along the Mediterranean shipping routes imposed during the plague of the 15th century, a legal authority reflected in English law and echoed in U.S. law.

In response to the 1918 influenza epidemic, states levied quarantines and imposed mask laws – with the District of Columbia restricting residents to their homes and San Francisco adopting the slogan "Wear a Mask and Save Your Life! A Mask is 99% Proof Against Influenza."

The Bush administration released the National Strategy For Pandemic Influenza in November 2005; it envisioned closer coordination among federal agencies, the stockpiling and distribution of vaccines and anti-viral drugs, and, if necessary, government-imposed "quarantines" and "limitations on gatherings." 
A Defense Department planning document summarizing the military's contingency plan says the Pentagon is prepared to assist in "quarantining groups of people in order to minimize the spread of disease during an influenza pandemic" and aiding in "efforts to restore and maintain order."

S-CHIP Health Care for Children -- Nat'l Health Care -- Feb. 16, 2009
Congress just made 4 million additional children eligible for government-provided health insurance. Obama, who signed the legislation last week, called expansion of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program “a down payment on my commitment to cover every single American.”
Many Republicans said the SCHIP expansion will encourage more Americans to turn to government instead of private insurers.

FDA: Only an Illusion of Safety -- Feb. 16, 2009 --not enough inspectors
While true, that is not a defense. The FDA farmed out its responsibility to an agency that it knew or should have known was incapable of performing it adequately. It too was less interested in protecting human health than in creating the illusion of such protection.

Genetic mapping of babies soon -- Feb. 11, 2009
This will open a new approach to medicine, by which conditions such as diabetes and heart disease can be predicted and prevented and drugs prescribed more safely and effectively.
Many people may be reluctant to have their genome read, for fear that the results could be used against them by an employer or insurance company.
By examining which genetic variants a person has inherited, it is possible to identify raised risks of developing an array of conditions, including cardiovascular disease and many cancers. Those at high risk can then be screened more regularly, or given drugs or dietary advice to lower their chances of becoming ill.

"Recommended" flu vaccine for 6 months to 18 yr. olds -- Feb. 27, 2008
An advisory panel to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control said all children aged 6 months to 18 years should receive the vaccine, extending a previous recommendation to immunize children up to 5 years.
The recommendation, which soon will be adopted by the CDC, could take effect as early as the 2008-2009 flu season.
The shots are not mandatory, but an official recommendation from the CDC means more insurers will cover them. The recommendation also will increase the number of government-subsidized shots available to poor families

Children may receive the immunization by injection or a relatively new nasal spray. Children receiving their first immunization need two doses, with one annually thereafter.
Some parents may be concerned about thimerosal, a mercury-containing preservative present in some adult flu vaccines that long has been rumored to cause autism. Baxter, however, said the preservative is safe and that extensive scientific research has not found any link between thimerosal and autism. [ Ed: I personally do not believe it is safe ]

Google practices storing personal medical records online-- Feb. 22, 2008
The pilot project to be announced Thursday will involve 1,500 to 10,000 patients at the Cleveland Clinic who volunteered to an electronic transfer of their personal health records so they can be retrieved through Google's new service, which won't be open to the general public.[ Ed: not yet ]
Each health profile, including information about prescriptions, allergies and medical histories, will be protected by a password that's also required to use other Google services such as e-mail and personalized search tools. [ Ed: "the right to know" will change all of this most likely ]
The Cleveland Clinic decided to work with Google "to create a more efficient and effective national health care system," said C. Martin Harris, the medical center's chief information officer.
That means a patient who agrees to transfer medical records to an external health service run by Google or Microsoft could be unwittingly making it easier for the government or some other legal adversary to obtain the information, Dixon said.
If the medical records aren't protected by HIPPA, the information conceivably also could be used for marketing purposes.
[ Ed Yes, like denying insurance coverage ]

Enforced vaccinations or $50.00 a day fines -- Nov. 19, 2007 and 10 days in jail ( 2 work-weeks ?)
"I think it's offensive that the government would forcibly vaccinate kids. Individual rights are a good thing, and when you're dealing with health issues, informed consent is an important value," says Donna Hurlack, a Virginia gynecologist protesting outside the courthouse
"The heavy-handed 'vaccine roundup' instigated by Mr. Ivey obliterates informed consent and parental rights," said the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, Inc. in a Nov. 18 letter to Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley.

"The Decade of Health Information and Technology" -- July 22, 2004
The government also plans to organize a consortium of private companies to plan, build and operate health information networks. A Health Information Technology Leadership Panel of industry executives and health care experts will be created to advise the government on the costs and benefits of health technology, and will report in the autumn.

Among other steps, the government will create a Web site for Medicare beneficiaries to gain access to customized information about services they have received.
Without computer-based patient records, those errors are not going to be reduced," said Thomas Handler, a research director at Gartner, the technology research firm.

No Medical Privacy -- Feb. 11, 2006 by Jon Dougherty
" Health Information Technology Promotion " could damage state medical confidentiality provisions by granting the Department of Health and Human Services Secretary legal authority to "preempt state laws ensuring privacy rights" and establish a federal standard that does not guarantee the right to "give or withhold one's consent before one's personal health information is shared with others."
"Thus," the institute concludes, "if citizens cannot decide who can see their personal health information, they have no true privacy rights."

"Patients will definitely not benefit from this type of program because they do not control who has access to their sensitive identifiable medical records in any meaningful way."
According to a congressional summary, the measure amends the Social Security Act "to encourage the dissemination, security, confidentiality, and usefulness of health information technology."

The AAPS's [ Amer. Assoc. Physicians and Surgeons ] .. [ Jane ] Orient said the "so-called HIPAA Privacy Rule, which is in fact a disclosure rule, does not provide any meaningful privacy protections such as those enshrined in Constitutional law and medical ethics. Therefore a national health information system would effectively eliminate any and all patient consent to the release of their records by placing the records online. Patients would have virtually no control over who can sneak-a-peak at their very private and sensitive medical records."
"The bottom line is that giving the federal government the power to decide who can see individuals' personal health information is not true health privacy," said AAPS. "Rather, it's actually an infringement on individuals' privacy and liberty," http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=48775
