Ezekiel Emanuels Brown Shirt Showed Through The Veil

August 15, 2009 (LPAC)—Exposed by LaRouche and others, Ezekiel Emanuel, the health policy adviser at the White House's Office of Management and Budget, made a vain attempt to convince the Washington Times that his thinking has changed. But while he was talking, he was also goosestepping.

In an interview over telephone from his vacation spot in Italy, Emanuel said that 20 years ago he thought rationing of care was an absolute necessity, and that there was a necessity to deny people care. But, now he has come to the conclusion that "if we got rid of unnecessary care, we would have absolutely no reason to even consider rationing EXCEPT IN A FEW CASES."

When the correspondent tried to pin Ezekiel down on his 1996 article in a bioethics journal, where he wrote "services provided to individuals who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens are not basic and should not be guaranteed" after which, he mentioned dementia as a case in point, he said he was not expressing his own opinion.

In addition, Emanuel pointed out to the WT that the charges of rationing, or concerns about his language in journal articles, are somewhat understandable, given that he was "writing really for political philosophers, and for the average person it's not what they're used to reading, even if they've had a good liberal education."

Emanuel made some of the same arguments in an August 13 interview with ABC-TV, although there he claimed that it was 15 years ago that he thought rationing was necessary. He added, "The more I've looked into it the less I think it's true. We spend a lot of money and resources—hundreds of billions of dollars—for unnecessary care, care that doesn't help patients."

Case closed Dr. Emanuel. You are a lying Nazi and everybody who's read the self-convicting article you wrote in the Lancet journal knows it.
