As if the federal government weren’t nefarious enough, we have massive health-care provisions in the latest stimulus bill.
But for heaven’s sake, don’t read it America! Pass it! It’s a crisis! It has to happen! There’s ideology at stake! There are federal programs to fund! There are opportunities to expand the inefficiency of medicine, and the entire economy, to Olympian levels!
America, it’s time to pitch a ‘hissy-fit.’ Read this article from Bloomberg and let your blood boil. Pass it on.
And before you tell me we need such bills in order to be more scientific, take a minute and ask yourself just how scientific you think the government will be when it applies cost-cutting measures to medicine. The congress is certainly a hot-bed of evidence-based legislation, isn’t it?
I am, quite frankly, absolutely petrified for this country.

This idea is one of the scariest things that I’ve heard in a long time. I have a Phr provided by my insurance company. Without my consent they published on this website all the insurance information they have gathered since 2004. It lists every test, procedure, hospital stay, ambulance ride, diagnosis and drug that I have had over the last 5 years. It is a mess! Some of the drugs I was prescribed and never filled because I was simply too tired and/or sick to argue with the doctor why the drug would be inappropriate for someone with LQTS. Many… Read more »

Wow, as someone who plans to apply to medical school this year, articles like this scare the crap out of me. What’s healthcare going to be like in 20 years???
