Obama Health-Care Reform--That's Called Fascism, Isn't It?

May 12, 2009 (LPAC)-- As LaRouchePAC details irrefutably (see article on Hasting Center below), Peter Orszag and both of his leading deputies in the drive to "reform" health care through "comparative effectiveness research," are at the same time advocates of the program of so-called euthanasia for which Nazis were punished in the Nuremberg Trials.

Lyndon LaRouche said, we're trying to research the difference between Obama's health care reform and what Hitler did, and we haven't been able to find any.

President Obama and his "health-care team" met Monday morning with the "stakeholders." You probably remember that this was always the final scene in the Frankenstein movie, in near-darkness, when smoke was streaming out of the ground, and the villagers appeared and ran about with their stakes in hand.

They included the HMOs, the AMA, the pharmaceutical companies and the unions. The basis for everything was the linear-projection school of Peter Orszag, who has done linear projections of the growth of health-care spending, and found that it will reach 49% of GDP in 2082. "That's because they don't do any production," LaRouche quipped. On this basis, the "stakeholders" all agreed that they would cut back 1.5% from what would otherwise be the growth of their "costs" for each of the next ten years.

Obama announced that this would save $2 trillion, or $2,500 for every family. "He's actually a commentator on the Tower of Babel," LaRouche said. "He's babbling. He will come to clear intentions at a later point. He now uses words; in the future, he may come to understand them."

The HMOs promised to do their part in the cost-cutting using the exact same gimmicks which Orszag has proposed, such as "competitiveness research" to "modify behavior" so as to shut down medical high-technology and more effective, newer treatments as more "costly." No wonder Peter Orszag and his top associates in "competitive effectiveness research" are at the same time leaders of the "right-to-die" movement.

"This is is fascism; that's what it is," LaRouche said. "Why not call it that?"

This completely sidesteps the real growth of costs: the issue of the thieving HMOs, the gang of parasites set up by Richard Nixon and Patrick "Benign Neglect" Moynihan in 1973. Now, overhead costs under U.S. private health insurance, so called, are up to 30-50% of all costs, as against 2% costs of administration for the government-run Medicare program. Are these the "costs" they are trying to cut? No,— it's the very cost of life-saving medical treatments themselves!

The second issue they're shoving under the carpet is the ripoff by the pharmaceutical companies.

The third issue is health infrastructure: Communities are struggling to keep a hospital, or other infrastructure, while they're talking about all these so-called "reforms."

Infrastructure is at an emergency level, as we're threatened by pandemics, and they're not addressing that at all. And the kind of cost-containment which is being pushed by Orszag and company, results, as they know it does, in continued shrinkage of the infrastructure. The Dartmouth Institute, which wrote Orszag's lines, proposes precisely the relative shrinkage of infrastructure, proposing explicitly that numbers of hospital beds and imaging machines NOT be expanded to meet increasing needs.

"Call it the 'Orzsag Useless Eaters Program for Health Care,' LaRouche said. "That will ruffle feathers, but that's what you have to do. If you go along with the double-talk, people will debate the double-talk. This is what Hitler did. This was Hitler's health reform. There's essentially no difference in principle between what Orszag is proposing, and Adolf Hitler did. And people will have to catch on to that before they die of old age at the age of 20 or something.

"It's the Brave New World of Aldo Suxley."

As the result of such "reforms," there are now fewer mammography machines in the U.S. than in 2006. Fewer mammograms are being performed than in 2006, even while the population which needs them has increased for various reasons, even beyond general population growth. "We're going to do a whole report on this," LaRouche said. "This is the Orszag genocide policy, taken faithfully out of the manuals of Adolf Hitler. There's essentially no difference between what Orszag is proposing and what Hitler did.

"This is a cutback in the fight against breast cancer!" LaRouche concluded. "Obviously, this all-male bunch of suckers, the Behavioral Economists, doesn't understand women's concerns. It's true! That's essentially what it is! They don't give a damn; they're fascists! And. we just have to call them fascists. That'll cause more screaming, but that's good."

Hasting Center's Nazi Doctors Set Orszag's Agenda to Kill Useless Eaters

May 11, 2009 (LPAC)—Last May 20, 2008, Peter Orszag — then Director of the Congressional Budget Office, sent his deputy, Philip Ellis, to speak at a meeting of the Hastings Center, a propaganda group for euthanasia. The Hastings meeting discussed the main point of the health-care "reform" agenda that Orszag was bringing into the government: that elderly, poor, and very sick people must be denied medical care so that they will die and thus drastically reduce medical costs, to enrich financiers in insurance and hedge funds.

The deputy whom Orszag sent to the Hastings meeting, Philip Ellis, was the Congressional Budget Office expert on "Comparative Effectiveness," a doctrine for slashing health care using cost and pro-euthanasia criteria.

Now that Peter Orszag is President Obama's Budget Director, this agenda is being rushed into implementation. Orszag's deputy in the White House, Ezekiel Emanuel — a Fellow of the Hastings Center — is the leading director of the Federal Council on Comparative Effectiveness Research. The Council is drawing up a list of approved medical procedures which is to be imposed on all American physicians and patients, public and private, according to the Hastings Center's agenda: treatments and medicines that preserve lives not worth living, are to be banned.

At the 2008 Hastings meeting, Orszag's deputy Ellis remarked on the meeting's warning that one-third of health care expenses go for treating people for conditions they die from anyway. Ellis declared that "This translates into a stark economic crisis." Two weeks later Orszag himself briefed the Strategy Unit of the British cabinet in London, on how this "crisis" might drive the agenda of a new U.S. Presidential Administration.

Now Orszag has Obama addressing this "crisis" of old and poor people refusing to die, by rushing to cut off their care.

The Hastings Center was founded in 1969, to counter the optimistic American idea that every sacred human life might contribute creatively to human progress, as reflected in first moon landing that year.

The Rockefeller, Ford and New World Foundations paid for Hastings Center to carefully revive and popularize euthanasia, which the Nazi German "Action T4" killing center had carried out against "useless eaters" three decades earlier, and for which the U.S. had punished the Nazi perpetrators in the Nuremberg Trials only 23 years before Hastings was set up.

As the London-Wall Street financier axis increasingly acquired the "income streams" from medical care payments (through HMOs, etc.), Hastings was their chief agency for creating the new field of "bioethics," promoting the "right to die" as a major ethical concern that trumped the right to live.

For example, in 1985, the Prudential Life Insurance Company's Foundation ran a crusade called "Bioethics in the Community: A Program of Local Decision Making" directed entirely by the Hastings Center, to promote medical cost-cutting and euthanasia laws and policies.

At a recent meeting co-sponsored Hastings and Yale University, Hastings founder Daniel Callahan said that half of the cost increase in health care comes from the use of new technology or the increased use of old technology, and to control the costs we must "rethink the value we place on endless progress and innovation."

Peter Orszag's health care policy advisor, Ezekiel Emanuel, the Hastings Fellow, is the nation's leading spokesman for the "bioethics" doctrine developed by Hastings. His point of view is that suicide is unnecessary: we can accomplish the same thing through cost-cutting. Emanuel heads the Department of Bioethics at The Clinical Center of the National Institutes of Health. He developed the Medical Directive, a form of the "living will" that euthanasia advocates convinced a depressed population to adopt after the great 1960s paradigm shift.
