Nero Obama Personally Pushes Fascist T-4 Policy

July 17, 2009 (LPAC)—As of Tuesday neither the House Democrats' health-care proposal, nor the Senate Health Committee package, contained any reference to the proposal to transform the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission into a Hitlerian T-4 board which would dictate what medicare payments would be paid and which not, i.e., which lives are unworthy of being lived. However, Obama personally urged House and Senate leaders to action during a White House meeting this week, and on Wednesday sent two proposals to Capitol Hill. One would empower the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) to determine cuts and changes to Medicare. This is the Jay Rockefeller proposal, which is cosponsored by Dem Blue Dog Rep. Jim Cooper (Tenn). The second proposal would create a similar entity, called the Independent Medicare Advisory Council, which would function under effective direct control of the President.

When the House Ways and Means and Education and Labor Committees met for hearings on the health-care bill before them on Thursday morning, it was revealed that the bill had been completely rewritten at 12 midnight and introduced as a manager's amendment to include the latter proposal under sections 123-141. Members of the Congress were expected to vote on the measure in Ways and Means on Thursday — even though they had not even read the new bill.

Rep. Sam Johnson (R-Texas) reportedly denounced Obama as a "fascist dictator" in response, during debate over a Republican motion to postpone the markup of the bill until next week so that it could be read.

Quoted in the Washington Post, Obama's henchmen, Rahm Emanuel and Peter Orszag, were clear that Obama insists on this fascist measure. Rahm Emanuel said: "Structures that fundamentally alter the long-term costs are a must for real health-care reform." He called the Medicare payment debate "the least talked-about, most important issue on the table." Peter Orzag was quoted: "We're trying to create a structure where that would be easier to reorient the system towards higher value and lower cost in the future."

According to Politico, which saw a draft of the Obama proposal, the creation of an Independent Medicare Advisory Council would put the entire T-4 program under the direct control of Obama, as president. What Obama is proposing, as now included in the House legislation, is a five-member council, which would make two annual reports dictating updated rates for Medicare providers. Congress could block the recommendations only if lawmakers agreed within 30 days on a resolution. As envisioned under the White House draft, the new council would be appointed by the President, personally, with the consent of the Senate; those confirmed would serve terms of five years. The council would be authorized to make broad recommendations for reform in Medicare, but its chief role would be to help set payment rates for Part A and Part B services for the elderly. By Dec. 31 each year, it would submit a package for Part B, covering physicians, home health, and durable medical equipment. By Oct. 1, a package would be due for Part A, covering hospitals and skilled nursing facilities.

The recommendations would go to the White House, and within 30 days, the President would be required to send a message to Congress reflecting his approval or disapproval. The President's discretion would be limited, in that he would have to give an up-or-down on the entire package, not pieces of it. But he would have an effective veto and more leeway than Congress, which would have 30 days to obtain majorities in both houses and overcome a potential Senate filibuster.

But of course, since the President is appointing the council to carry out his agenda, there is little chance that he would disapprove of the recommendations from people serving at his discretion. In reality, the proposal would make Obama fascist dictator over what categories of elderly American citizens would would be allowed to live and which to die.

As Lyndon LaRouche has stressed, especially in his April 11 webcast, the Obama plan is modelled on the order personally written and signed by Hitler in 1939, which set up the Tiergarten 4 board which Hitler mandated to cut health costs by denying health care to those whose lives Hitler and the board determined were not worth living.

Obama has now personally intervened to introduce this precise measure, which is designed to give him the ultimate power to decide, through a board appointed and controlled by him.
