Nationalized Health Care

Well get ready it is coming, most of the framework is in the "Stimulus" bill.
I hope everyone realizes that once this gets started it cannot be stopped easily.
If implemented as planned, the following is the envisioned world of Health Care in the USA.

1. Nationalized Health Care + SCHIP will be implemented with the so called "Stimulus Bill"

2. All patient Health Records will go into the National Database (I see this happening already in my day job)

3. All Health Care professionals will be required to become part of the National Health Care system. This will be mandated no private practices will be allowed.

4. You will go to your doctor with a health complaint. (After a lengthy wait for available service as you see in Canada and the UK and other nations with Nationalized Health Care)

5. You arrive and the Doctor examines you and enters your diagnosis into the National Database

6. The National Health Care system will then decide if your life expectancy justifys the cost of the treatment, next your life style will be examined to ensure you are living an approved life style with an approved diet.

7. If any of the results in step 6 is negative, you will be denied care. You will also not have anywhere to go to pay your own way, at least not in the USA.

This is actually what is being planned, of course certain groups will be "Above" this process, of course Congress will not be limited nor any other Nationally elected official, those with enough wealth will have options of their own, up to and including, leaving the country to go someplace else for their care. (Much like many Canadians come to the USA for treatment).

Personally this is great for the company I work for...and for me...at least up until the Government decides to set my salary to what they think is fair for me to make.
