You may not remember Dr. Mengele Ezekiel Emanuel. He was the Dr. Death Panel referred to by Sarah Palin in early August 2009. The Democrats promise that a government health care system will reduce the cost of health care, but as the economist Thomas Sowell has pointed out, government health care will not reduce the cost; it will simply refuse to pay the cost. And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course. Here is what Palin said, “The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s “death panel” so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their “level of productivity in society,” whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil.”
Health care by definition involves life and death decisions. Human rights and human dignity must be at the center of any health care discussion.
Rep. Michele Bachmann highlighted the Orwellian thinking of the
president’s health care advisor, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the
brother of Rahm Emanuel the former White House chief of staff, in a floor
speech to the House of Representatives. I commend her for being a voice for the
most precious members of our society, our disabled, our handicapped, our
children and our seniors.

While Emanuel does not
use the term “death panel,” Palin put that term in quotation marks to signify
the concept of medical decisions based on the perceived societal worth of an
individual, not literally a “death panel.” And in so doing, Palin was true to
Dr. Emanuel’s concept of a system which considers prognosis, since its aim is
to achieve "complete lives". A
young person with a poor prognosis has had a few life-years but lacks the
potential to live a complete life. Considering prognosis forestalls the concern
the disproportionately large amounts of resources will be directed to young
people with poor prognoses. When the worst-off can benefit only slightly while
better-off people could benefit greatly, allocating to the better-off is often
justifiable….
When
implemented, the complete lives system produces a priority curve on which
individuals aged between roughly 15 and 40 years get the most chance, whereas
the youngest and oldest people get chances that are attenuated.
Watchman comment: this also means that patients better not make their physicians angry because physicians can now threaten your life by writing false reports. Oh, the sinful nature of man!

Put together, the concepts of
prognosis and age, and Dr. Emanuel’s proposal reasonably could be construed as
advocating the withholding of medical treatment, probably not basic care, but
likely expensive advanced care to a baby born with Down Syndrome, a patient with a partially crippling stroke and other
severe maladies. You may not like this implication, but it is Dr. Emanuel’s
implication not Palin’s.
Friends, this is exactly how the Nazis started their mass killing program. The Nazis did not start mass murdering people in 1933, they gradually turned up the heat and gradually took away citizens God given rights.Below, Dr. Emanuel is interviewed on the Kelly file. I think he is an arrogant, rude, partisan, academic elitist.

In article entitled "Principles for allocation of scarce medical interventions." The Lancet 373 (Jan 31,2009): 423-31]. Emanuel argues for the use of a "Complete Lives Systems" method of allocating care. From the abstract:
“We recommend an alternative system--the complete lives system--which prioritises younger people who have not yet live a complete life and also incorporates prognosis, save the most lives, lottery, and instrumental value principles.”
In defending this approach against charges of ageism, Dr. Emanuel claims that because everyone was young once, prioritizing the young over the old is not discrimination:
“Unlike allocation by sex or race, allocation by age is not invidious discrimination; every person lives through different states rather than being a single age. Even if 25-year-olds receive priority over 65-year-olds, everyone who is 65 years now was previously 25 years.”
Friends, (tongue in cheek) you know we can trust the government. The government will never change the 65 year old age. It will never move to age 55. Remember the Illuminati's prime directives is population reduction.
Obamacare treats human beings as commodities, evaluating their lives as "investments":
“Consideration of the importance of complete lives also supports modifying the youngest-first principle by prioritizing adolescents and young adults over infants. Adolescents have received substantial education and parental care, investments that will be wasted without a complete life. Infants by contrast, have not yet received these investments. Similarly, adolescence brings with it a developed personality capable of forming and valuing long-term plans whose fulfillment requires a complete life.

The health bills put important decisions in the hands of presidential appointees like Dr.
Emanuel. They
will decide what insurance plans cover, how much leeway your doctor will have,
and what seniors get under Medicare. Dr. Emanuel, brother of White House Chief
of Staff Rahm Emanuel, has
already been appointed to two key positions: health-policy adviser at the
Office of Management and Budget and a member of the Federal Council on
Comparative Effectiveness Research. He clearly will play a role guiding the
White House's health initiative. . .
In fact, Dr. Emanuel makes a clear choice: "When implemented, the complete lives system produces a priority curve on which individuals aged roughly 15 and 40 years get the most substantial chance, whereas the youngest and oldest people get changes that are attenuated.
Dr. Mengele Emanuel uses a shrewd, bogus and Darwinian argument below. It is a subtle twist on the survival of the fittest. Dr. Mengele Emanuel obviously is a Godless Jew.
Dr. Emanuel concedes that his plan appears to discriminate against older people, but he explains: "Unlike allocation by sex or race, allocation by age is not invidious discrimination. . . . Treating 65 year olds differently because of stereotypes or falsehoods would be ageist; treating them differently because they have already had more life-years is not."
The youngest are also put at the back of the line: "Adolescents have received substantial education and parental care, investments that will be wasted without a complete life. Infants, by contrast, have not yet received these investments. . . . As the legal philosopher Ronald Dworkin argues, 'It is terrible when an infant dies, but worse, most people think, when a three-year-old dies and worse still when an adolescent does,' this argument is supported by empirical surveys." (thelancet.com, Jan. 31, 2009).
What Dr. Mengele Emanuel fails to recognize is that medical science has made huge advances in the last 50 years. People today, for example, survive many forms of cancer that 50 years ago routinely killed people. Polio vaccines and other vaccines have saved untold billions of people. Furthermore, what Nazis like Emanuel fail to recognize is that the U.S. and other western nations probably wouldn't have negative population growth if it weren't for abortion.

To
reduce health-insurance costs, Dr. Emanuel argues that insurance companies
should pay for new treatments only when the evidence demonstrates that the drug
will work for most patients. He says the "major contributor" to rapid increases
in health spending is "the constant introduction of new medical
technologies, including new drugs, devices, and procedures. . . . With very few
exceptions, both public and private insurers in the United States cover and pay
for any beneficial new technology without considering its cost. . . ." He
writes that one drug "use and to treat metastatic colon cancer, extends
medial survival for an additional two to five months, at a cost of approximately
$50,000 for an average course of therapy." (JAMA, June 13, 2007). As you can see it is all about money with the Obamacrats. Remember these are the people who ramped up our national debt to 17 trillion. They are fantastic when it comes to managing your money.
Medians,
of course, obscure the individual cases where the drug significantly extended
or saved a life. Dr. Emanuel says the United States should erect a
decision-making body similar to the United Kingdom's rationing body—the
National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE)—to slow the
adoption of new medications and set limits on how much will be paid to lengthen
life.
Dr. Mengele Emanuel knows what Obamacare's real goal is: reduction of population. I would not be surprised to hear he made a donation to have the Georgia Guide Stones built.
God help our republic, I have seen the enemy of our once great republic and it is Nazis like Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel.
