Obama's 'Broken Bones' Tactic On National Health Board Raises Congressional Opposition

July 23, 2009 (LPAC)—President Barack Obama and his healthcare "Igor," OMB Director Peter Orszag, have set off strong opposition from leading Congressional Democrats today, by moving to push a national health board into Congressional healthcare "reform" legislation, taking away Congress' authority over Medicare/Medicaid and allowing White House bureaucrats to deny medical care nationwide.

"We're going to need some orthopedists around here to take care of the broken bones and twisted arms" of Democrats forced to vote for the bill, said Democrat Charles Melancon of Louisiana, a member of the House committee whose chairman, Henry Waxman of California, was forced to approve Orszag's and Obama's monster. It will cut healthcare expenditures and deny treatments like Britain's notorious NICE board. Obama is confirming Lyndon LaRouche's charge that his healthcare "reform" policy is that of Adolf Hitler's "T-4" euthanasia board, empowered from 1939 to end "lives unworthy of life" by terminating medical treatment.

After a closed session of the House Ways and Means Committee which followed the diktat from Obama, leading Democratic member Pete Stark of California, talking to Dow Jones wire, called Orszag's national commission "stupid at best, unworkable, childish, [and] idiotic." Waxman admitted that Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel (D-NY) still opposes the commission.

Stark told a press conference that Obama's plan would strip Congress of authority over the Medicare program, which insured 45 million elderly and disabled at a cost of $483 billion in 2007. He said doctors and hospitals were immediately barraging him with opposition. "Every major provider group is calling up saying they will oppose the bill [if it contains the national healthcare board demanded by Obama]," Stark said.
