2010, here we come.
Passed in the Stimulus bill –
new organization: National Co-ordinator of Health Information Technology, reviews how patients are treated; will guide medical decisions at the time & place of care.
Investor’s Business Daily Poll –
45% of doctors would leave their profession if this plan goes into effect
Government to insure 30 million people and lose 45% of doctors means rationing would be needed on those two factors alone.
CBO –
Cut $500B from Medicare over 10 years.
But, in 10 years – 30% more people will be in Medicare.
And, didn’t 60 Minutes show us $60B of fraud from Medicare due to fraud, waste and abuse?

Here is what I will promise to you, Maryland, right now.
I will not dishonor our Constitution.
I will not break the Law.
I will not seek to alter the Bill of Rights.
I will not be a party to fraud, waste and abuse.
I will not rush to judgement.
I will sign, and hold to, a pledge to not add new taxes.
I will work to maintain and improve transparency.
I will strive to reduce the practice of earmarking.
I will not sign vote on a Bill that is so large it cannot be read and understood within a reasonable timeframe. And I see that timeframe as no more than two days.
I will work to improve the efficiency of fiscal management and reduce waste.
If you can think of more, don’t be afraid to let me know.
I have been debating myself to share this info and have come to the conclusion that I should.
I am a malignant cancer survivor for the past 56 years. An operation that I had, in Cleveland Clinic, when I was about one year old resulted in the removal of my left eye and part of the optic nerve. So my left eye is a prosthetic.
Among other reasons that I have stated why I have an interest in running for this high office is this one, primarily. Health Care. Ever since I started reading the H.R. 3200 bill, I am unnerved at some of the legalese that isn’t crystal clear to the average lay person. Whether you believe there are problems (controversial that we hear and read about) or not with this pending attempt at comprehensive reform, know this:
Rationing is logically likely in order to attempt to control costs. How can it not happen? Eventually it must, given what we know and read so far.
But I fear for the future generations. There may be some newborns that become like me early in their formative years. Suffering a problem that may be visible for awhile – before it can kill you. (That’s how my parents knew. My cornea changed color. Had it not, I wouldn’t be here telling you all this.)
Will they get the appropriate care? No matter their sex, race, other obvious medical problems???? Or – will someone make a decision that no one likes?
Here’s the bottom line.
I know that I have made a difference in this world, at my job for the past 25 years, as a member of the IOOF (Independent Order of Odd Fellows). And it isn’t that I knew I was going to make such significant differences at the time. To help people, to save my department money and to make tough decisions. I was at the right place, at the right time, with the right knowledge and the foresight to make it happen.
Other, future people will do this also. Don’t think it can’t or won’t happen.
I am living proof that it happens. That holds true for everyone.
We need to ensure that future generations have the chance to become something important. Someone effective.
I cannot say that the current firestorm over this health care issue will provide that guarantee.
So think about that.
I am not seeking any pity, I am not preaching, I think, but I believe you need to know.
Have a good day. I will.
