Backing into Socialized Health Care with Stimulus

I am not sure that all of the Senators know what exactly is in the Stimulus Bill. If they take a close look they will see that significant changes will be made in our health care in the United States. Basically, with this Stimulus Bill a new health care bureaucracy will be created, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology. This bureaucracy will monitor medical treatments in order to make sure that your doctor and/or hospital is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective. Now that is truly scary. Also, hospitals and doctors that do not utilize this system in a “meaningful way” will face penalties.

To understand more of the details on these health care initiatives and provisions in the Stimulus bill read Betsy McCaughey’s commentary on Bloomberg. Here is the link: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601039&refer=columnist_mccaughey&sid=aLzfDxfbwhzs
