Kennedy Aids in Ramming Through Obama's Nazi Plan Before August

May 30, 2009 (LPAC)—As part of the plan to rush Obama's Hitlerian health-care "reform" through Congress before August, before people catch on, Sen. Ted Kennedy has announced he will introduce a bill on Monday, June 1. A May 30 joint statement by Senators Kennedy and Max Baucus (D-Mont.) says that they intend that their two bills be quickly merged into one, to be voted in the Senate before the August recess.

A 1979 EIR Special Report, "Stop the Carter-Kennedy Policy of Murdering Our Elderly," with an introduction by Lyndon LaRouche, quoted Senator Kennedy as follows on health-care for developing nations and for the U.S., from his remarks at a conference on Medicine in the Third World, in Washington, D.C., in February 1979.

"American industrial, high technology for the model of health care has hurt medical care in the United States, and we cannot allow it to be established elsewhere.... We need primary care facilities; facilities that will be run by local people to solve local problems. We need simple basic systems constructed from the ground up by people ... with a simple, basic drug list to meet local needs.

"We produce 25,000 pharmaceuticals in the United States; we cannot and should not export these. These drugs do not meet the needs of these people any more than costly diagnostic equipment does. They are simple people with simple problems. They have pain which should be alleviated, and it should be alleviated without using procedures or equipment which will frighten them. We must develop a list of essential drugs: aspirin, penicillin, malaria pills, as well as local herbal medicines that people can feel comfortable with."

And in the United States: "We would do better to close down our centers. That would provide for basic needs as well as contain costs. You don't need a physician on duty; paraprofessionals can tend to most problems, particularly in our urban poor centers. They can provide palliative care and appropriate drugs at a reasonable cost."
