Economists Give Cover To Obama's Hitler Health Plan

President Obama himself, and his chief health care advisor, Nancy Ann DeParle, are beating the drums about a letter of support they received Nov. 17 from a group of 23 prominent economists, in support of their Hitler health program. Obama applauded himself Nov. 18, by saying that the bill his Administration has crafted in collaboration with Sen. Max Baucus, meets all four of the economists' stated aims: 1) deficit neutrality; 2) taxing high-cost insurance plans; 3) an independent Medicare commission; and 4) delivery system reforms.

Ms. DeParle, in a conference call with reporters today, further specified that the Medicare commission provision in the Senate bill corresponds to that put forward in Sen. Jay Rockefeller's S.1100.

The Rockefeller bill, first introduced in May 2009, puts forward a carbon copy of the Hitler genocide plan, which began in 1939 with setting up a board of "independent experts" who would decide which patients had lives "unworthy of life." It calls for replacing the current Medicare Advisory Commission, with (as the Senator's official release put it) "an Executive Agency modeled after the Federal Reserve Board." Rockefeller would then "Elevate MedPAC to be an independent, executive branch entity, like the Federal Reserve, with the power to implement recommendations that are more insulated from special interests, and more accountable to the American people." Those recommendations, like the one just made by the HHS-commissioned special taskforce on mammograms, would determine what cuts in medical procedures would be made, in the name of cost-efficiency.

The President himself, along with his pro-genocide associates like OMB Chief Peter Orszag, and Special Health Care advisor to the OMB Ezekiel Emanuel, have repeatedly demanded the same kind of independent commission, called IMAC, which would have the freedom to determine who lives and who dies.

The fascist premise of the economists' letter claims is also demonstrated by their statement that the Senate bill will "help transform the health care system from delivering too much care (!)," and its emphasis on deficit reduction as a key aim — even as this Administration continues to pay out trillions of dollars to support the predators in the financial sector.
