The Public Option Health Care Provider & What Is Means!

July 02-2009:

The Public Option Health Care Provider & What Is Means!

Hithero, most consumers sought a Health Care provider according to their financial means. Those who had the means got the best services, from the best Health Care Providers.

And those that could not afford the better ones had to settle for the sub standard providers, which did not provide for most of the needs, that most consumers wanted from their doctors/physicians.

How will the Public Option Work?

The Public Option gives those who do not have Health Care the option to have one. 

It also allows consumers the CHOICE between the Established providers, and the Federally Subsidized Provider/Plans.

Both Health Care plans would be providing for the health Care needs of any American that wants it. 

The only difference is that we would be getting to choose between the Public Option, and The Private Option.

If anyone does not want Healthcare for whatever reason, he/she has that option too also.

But the provision is there for all, if or when they so choose to get Health Care.

Health Care Is Not Only Essential-It Is A MUST!

June 23-2009:

Health Care Is Not Only Essential-It Is A MUST!

Dear Senator/Congressperson,

  Can I depend on you to ardently advocate for, and support the president's Proposed Health Care Plan as I do?

Listed hereunder, are some points that I have outlined, which (to my mind), needs special attention.


* Ensure that SINGLE PAYER representation are at the table during these discussions.

* Ensure that all doctors in general practice are paid relatively equal, regardless of whether he/she is attending to a patient with Medicaid or Medicare insurance.

* Ensure that all patients have the option to choose their own preferred Hospital/Primary Care Physician.

* Ensure that all patients have access to Dental Care (fillings, extractions, cleaning/oral hygiene, and capping loose or missing fillings).

* Ensure that all patients have access to pain management, massage therapy, drug and substance abuse counseling, medication adherence counseling, and blood tests (including HIV Viral Load monitoring).

* Ensure access to maternity care, pre-natal care, post-natal care, pre-abortion counseling, and post abortion counseling.

* Ensure that all doctors accept all patients that are insured or not insured, as a humanitarian gesture, and not simply an emergency consultation, with a prescription issued that the patient cannot afford to fill.

FINALLY:

Health Care is not something that has to be considered, or encouraged.

Health Care is something that ALL societies in this modern era MUST provide for EVERY citizen!

Sincerely,

The American TV Media Continues To Lie & Misinform People!

Over the years, the American television media has been misleading and deliberately lying to the American people and the world, whenever they report what they consider to be news.

Today, even after the CDC and the Federal government acknowledges that the current H1N1 Flu epidemic is not caused by SWINE, but by a virus with a strain hitherto unknown.

But the CNN-MSNBC and FOX news television, continues to mislead the American people and broadcast to the world, the same allegations, that has no Validity thus far.

Every Television Anchor has been referring to this epidemic as the Swine flu, knowing fully well that they are misleading their viewers.

This is how the former Soviet Union, now (Russia), former Yugoslavia, and Czechoslovakia, now (The Czech Republic), and Cuba, uses the media to misinform the masses.

And the US media is also doing so, under the premise of Freedom Of The Press and Media, or Free Speech.

This medium is no different from those that I sighted above, in any way, shape, or form!

NEWS From My Perspective!

April 30-2009:

Jordan Destroys Their Non Halal Beef!

Yes, the Egyptian government authorized the killing of thousands of pigs, for fear that they may be contaminated with the H1N1 virus. Even though the WHO, or (World Health Organization) has specifically stated that there is no scientific evidence found so far, to validate the fear or claim that this flu virus came from pigs.

This irrational, insensitive, and aggressive act of killing the food of Non-Moslems within that society, just goes to show how the Egyptian government has little or no regard for Non-Moslem segments within it's midst.

And I wonder if cows, were the alleged culprits of this flu virus, if the Egyptian government would have ordered the mass killing of all cows?

I shudder to think just how other Islamic countries will behave in the light of this precedent now established by Egypt, when the H1N1 virus starts to appear on their shores?

The Current Swine Flu Virus!

April 28-2009:


The Current Swine Flu Virus! 

As far as I understand, a new outbreak of Flu, called Swine Flu, was discovered in Mexico. So far, healthy young people seem to be the victims of this epidemic, and the reason/s are still to be determined by the CDC.

They have also been a few cases of suspected Swine Flu infected individuals in New York, which has probable cause for the suspicion that this may ultimately be categorized as a pandemic flu virus.

However, you cannot contract this flu from eating PORK. 

And as an airborne virus, the natural way of infection is via the nostrils via inhalation, or contaminated surfaces or places that someone may have sneezed or coughed, and sputum droplets would have landed there from their nose or mouth.

So please observe some basic precautions now that this virus is on the move, by following these precautions.

* Never sneeze or cough with your mouth open.

* If you feel bodily pain, accompanied with a fever, consult your Local Medical Center or Hospital.

There are known medications that will be administered if necessary. But do not allow a severe cough or fever to go un-treated, because it may be something serious.


Wearing A Mask?

Anyone wearing a mask for fear of contracting the Swine Flu Virus, is a FOOL.

Masks are only recommended when someone is ALREADY infected.

Such recommendations are prescribed to people infected with a SEVERE type of Pneumonia, Flu, and Tuberculosis.

So do not allow the IDIOTS in the local media, any group, or public official to coerce you into wearing any mask, for fear of contracting the Swine Flu virus!


Blame It On Mexico!

There is some speculation in the local television media, that the Swine Flu virus originated in Mexico. This I presume is because that country has the highest deaths related to it, and has more infected people per capita, that any other country so far.

But I caution everyone not to allow this kind of speculation to get out of control, before any validation is found to substantiate that claim.

Remember when HIV/AIDS was first discovered in the 1980's in the USA. 

Shortly thereafter, fingers started pointing to Africa, and the Baboons there as the source!

N.I.C.E. Drug Prescription Overseers In Britain Said No To Cancer Patient!

March 14-2009:

N.I.C.E. Drug Prescription Overseers In Britain Said NO To Cancer Patient!

I watched a presentation or expose of an individual male cancer patient, who is terminally ill with cancer. But the above organization has refused to allow him to access medication, even when he has already been a contributor to the Social Security/National Insurance Authority all his working life.

Now he is two years in retirement, and is refused a much needed medication (to help him live) the remaining part of his physical life. But the above N.I.C.E. authorities have refused his claim, on the grounds that it would be useless and costly to do so, if he will eventually die anyway.

So what about HIV and AIDS patients? Are these people placed in this category too?

Even though (the world community at large) knows, that with the proper prescribed medications, and adherence to taking them as per prescription, prolongs the individual's life. And giving him or her a second chance to make something of his or her life, even though fatally infected with the HIV virus.

I am deeply concerned about this position taken by the N.I.C.E organization, and wonder if the priority is to save lives, or not save those that doctors say will die soon, or may surely die, regardless of whatever drug is prescribed.

If this is the attitude of the N.I.C.E. organization, then they should make it quite clear to the entire nation and their subscribers or clients, this unfortunate FACT.
