What's Really in Obama's Health Care Reform Bill - A Plain English Translation

What's Really in Obama's Health Care Reform Bill - A Plain English Translation

Save it and read it all for yourself...

What's really in Obama's health care reform bill?
Almost no one knows, and here's why:

It's 1,017 pages long and written in an alien form of bureaucratic English that can barely be decoded by earthlings.
And yet, astonishingly, an U.S. Army translator has been found who speaks "Washington Doublespeak" and he was kind enough to decode the bill and post his plain-language findings.
Below, we reprint what he found in the health care reform bill. As you read this, keep in mind that some of these translations are a bit loose with the interpretations, but I've personally spot-checked these points, and they are indeed all contained in the bill in one form or another (shrouded in Doublespeak language, of course).

Below are some points we have outlined of what is in the Bill

WHO recommends Mandatory Injections !!

Wednesday, July 29, 2009 by: Barbara Minton,

Natural Health Editor(NaturalNews) Executives from Baxter, Novartis, Glaxo-Smith Kline, and Sanofi Pasteur have seats at the advisory group that on July 13th recommended mandatory H1N1 vaccination of everyone in all 194 countries that belong to the World Health Organization (WHO), according to a report just issued by journalist Jane Burgermeister.

WHO spokesperson Alphaluck Bhatiasevi confirmed that Dr. Margaret Chan did not give the press briefing at WHO headquarters in Geneva as anticipated. At short notice, Dr. Marie-Paule Kieny stepped in to announce that "vaccines will be needed in all countries."According to WHO documents, vaccines "such as those that are formulated with oil-in-water adjuvants and live attenuated influenza vaccines are important."

Health workers, pregnant women, healthy young adults of 15 to 49 years, and healthy children will be the targeted groups of the world wide vaccine effort."

All countries should immunize their health-care workers as a first priority to protect the essential health infrastructure. As vaccines available initially will not be sufficient, a step-wise approach to vaccinate particular groups may be considered," according to Paule-Kieny. The Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) on Immunisation established by the Director-General of the WHO in 1999, suggested the following groups for consideration, noting that countries need to determine their order of priority based on country-specific conditions:

pregnant women;
children over the age of 6 months with one of several chronic medical conditions;
healthy young adults of 15 to 49 years of age;
healthy children;
healthy adults of 50 to 64 years of age;
and healthy adults of 65 years of age and above.

In view of the anticipated limited vaccine availability at global levels and the potential need to protect against "drifted" strains of virus, SAGE recommended that promoting production and use of vaccines such as those that are formulated with oil-in water adjuvants and live attenuated influenza vaccines was important.

WHO Director-General Dr. Margaret Chan endorsed the above recommendations on July 11, 2009, acknowledging that they were well adapted to the current pandemic situation. She also noted that the recommendations will need to be changed if and when new evidence becomes available.

Selling of U.S. Treasuries

Brazil and Canada were among big sellers of Treasurys in the latest month for which data is available and the previous year, catching analysts off guard and raising speculation that quieter nations may be concerned about investing in the U.S.

Brazil and Russia, which along with India and China are part of the so-called BRIC countries, have expressed concern with the strength of the U.S. dollar. It was therefore not so surprising that the two countries reduced their holdings of Treasurys in May, according to the latest data available from the Treasury International Capital report released last week. The two are among the largest holders of Treasurys.

But Canada, the biggest trading partner for the U.S., has publicly said nothing of the sort. Taiwan and France were also notable sellers of Treasurys in the latest month.

"It's a bit like friendly fire," said Michael Woolfolk, senior currency strategist at The Bank of New York Mellon. "We saw some record selling of long-term Treasurys and that's exactly the kind of thing Wall Street and the government have been worried about for years, and it came from some unexpected places."

Markets, especially currencies, took comfort that China - the largest holder of U.S. Treasurys - continued adding to its holdings despite repeated commentary from officials that it may do otherwise. Japan, the second largest holder, reduced its Treasury portfolio in the latest month but has increased it substantially in the previous 12 months.

Obama's Birth Certificate ??

Why won’t Michele Bachmann come clean about her views on President Obama’s birth certificate? For a congresswoman who flaunts suspicions about the U.S. Census, foreign currencies, the Federal Reserve and Obama’s allegedly “anti-American views,” she’s been strangely silent on the rampant (and roundly disproven) rumor spread by so-called “birthers” that Obama was born outside the United States.

Bachmann isn’t yet, for example, counted among the 10 Republican co-sponsors of U.S. Rep. Bill Posey’s H.R. 1503, a bill requiring presidential candidates to provide copies of their birth certificates. But a lot of her friends are, as Daniel Nichanian at Campaign Diaries points out:

Interestingly, [U.S. Reps. Dan] Burton and [Kenny] Marchand’s [sic] addition to the list means that a majority of the Posey bill’s sponsors are now also co-sponsors of Michele Bachmann’s paranoid foreign currency-banning constitutional amendment (the other 3 are Posey, [U.S. Reps. Marsha] Blackburn and [John Abney] Culberson). We are here talking about the congressmen who are closest to movement conservatives.

(Nichanian may mean to say that half the sponsors of the birther bill also back Bachmann’s, but that’s still a swell segment.)

Bachmann’s fans, such as one who left this comment at Bachmann’s YouTube channel, are begging her to probe the whereabouts of Obama’s birth certificate:



She’s ordinarily got an appetite, not a weak stomach, when it comes to her fans’ more fringey causes. In a video from a recent Minnesota Republican gathering, she finds common cause with a group pushing DVDs about “The Obama Deception” and 9/11 controlled-demolition conspiracies that make former U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman shy away.

You’d think a foreign correspondent like Bachmann would be as interested in the problem of foreign U.S. presidents as she is in the problem of foreign cats and dogs. U.S. funds being spent on domesticated animals that, well, aren’t domestic is a pet peeve of Bachmann’s from her first term. She was still bitching about it last Friday on local radio, straying from the topic of health care reform:

We voted on a bill that would send millions of dollars to foreign countries to pay for foreign cats and foreign dogs. … Then the next day, as if that was to add insult to injury, we voted on another bill that spent millions on foreign birds in foreign countries.

David Weigel, a reporter at our sister site The Washington Independent, has been tracking birtherism closely. Asked if he has seen signs of any Bachmann involvement in the birther movement, Weigel says “Not yet.”

Glaxo Limiting Swine Flu Testing

(Bloomberg) -- The swine flu shot that GlaxoSmithKline Plc is developing will be tested on a limited number of people.“The total population studied in clinical trials will be limited due to the need to provide the vaccine to governments as quickly as possible,” the London-based company said in a statement today.

Swine Flu - The Real Deal !!

I have been closely following MSM published and broadcast pieces as well as GLP posted articles on the swine flu pandemic, and, as you know, there has been a mountain released with such velocity it is often difficult to keep the pace. Frequency (and volume) strategy is used when one wants to get a message out. Marketing 101. The speed of release can be attributed to a fast-changing environment, a well-oiled communication machine (established pipeline…when it suits them) as well as good strategy.

However, there were three elements that raised the red flags :

1. Certain H1N1 flu information is being stressed/promoted over equally or more important H1N1 information (instead of informing the public on all data, one main message is being pushed AND it is emotionally based rather than quantitative)
2. The message has reached fervor pitch indicating a level of desperation to get this primary message out and
3. I started to notice discrepancies in reports.

These combined elements prompted me to research the actual numbers and events to determine if I should be as concerned as the media and health agencies seem to want me to be and to answer a few questions nagging me. In other words, do the numbers and the evidence really support this massive push, especially to the point of justifying the removal of my health decision rights for “the good of society’?
Following is what I gathered and found:
Can I Trust the WHO Numbers?
WHO is now recommending that countries STOP testing for H1N1 and “assume” that all flu cases are H151. Yes, that’s right. Lump all cough, sore throat and fever symptoms into the H1N1 reporting numbers. How much are - or will - these numbers be inflated with this methodology?[link to www.upi.com]
------------------------------------
Can I Trust the CDC Numbers?
CDC is reporting aggregate cases of both confirmed and unconfirmed (suspected). They are collecting the data separately. Fair enough. But they are not reporting the numbers separately to the people. Why not?:
[link to www.godlikeproductions.com]
But, further, the CDC also admits the reported numbers include ALL flu not just swine flu, which is clearly indicated on their website and interactive maps; however, the media obviously pay little attention to this quite important differentiation and tend to identify all as “swine flu”:
“The flu activity map includes both novel H1N1 flu and seasonal flu because both novel H1N1 and seasonal flu viruses are still circulating. Illnesses caused by seasonal and novel H1N1 flu infections have similar symptoms and can’t be differentiated from one another without specific laboratory tests.”
[link to www.cdc.gov]
------------------------------------
Is H1N1 a ‘Super Spreader?
I found that it has been scientifically shown that this H1N1 strain “spreads from person to person less effectively than other seasonal flu viruses” and that it “binds human receptors much less effectively than other flu viruses that infect humans”.
[link to www.upi.com]
------------------------------------
What are the H1N1 numbers to date compared to the historical regular, seasonal flu numbers?Even though my confidence in the CDC numbers is in question, let’s review what they do report…Flu mortality stats per CDC, which include all forms/strains of flu as well as pneumonia, (referred to as the P&I Index):2005 = 63,001 people died2006 = 56,000 people died“2007-08 season, the proportion of deaths due to pneumonia and influenza was higher than the previous two years, but was similar to the 2004-05 season.”Between 1993 to 2003, an average of 36,171 people died each year of flu[link to www.cnsnews.com] [link to www.cdc.gov] Compared to…H1N1 current 2009 stats per CDC as of July 17th:
Jan to July 17 = 263 deaths
Jan to July 17 AGGREGATE confirmed AND suspected infected = 40,617
We have less sickened to date than all who died each year in 2005, 2006 and possibly 2007-2008.
Additionally, to reach the 2006 mortality number (chosen in absence of 07-08), based on calendar months (not seasonal), would require a 9,824% mortality increase. This is a very loose, extrapolated number to give a general idea only; seasonal variables are not available for proper calculations.
[link to www.cdc.gov]
------------------------------------
Pandemic? Epidemic?
Well, H1N1 is not even an epidemic according to the CDC historical charts…even when H1N1 is combined with all other flu and pneumonia deaths. Take a peek. We haven’t crossed the epidemic threshold, and, per the chart, mortality rates were much worse in 2007-2008 . Where was the gov and health agency panic then?? Did I sleep through it? These numbers include ALL flu and pneumonia, in which swine flu (H1N1) is a SUBSET[link to www.cdc.gov] The chart piqued my curiosity, so I then compared the current P&I morality rates to the first week of flu season the previous four years – the first week of flu season because the CDC either does not track from June – Aug each year (hardly) or they are not exposing the data. Interesting it is that this is all unfolding when we don’t have historical comparative data. Even more interesting is the mortality chart indicates the data do exist.Additionally, mortality rate was chosen because the CDC does not report raw numbers for P&I illnesses either confirmed or suspected except this year. Again, why?
2009Week ending July 11, 2009 = 6.5%
Epidemic Threshold = 6.6%
2008Week ending Oct 4, 2008 = somewhere around 5.8% *only a chart was provided; no raw data
Epidemic Threshold = unknown
2007Week ending Oct 6, 2007 = 5.9%
Epidemic Threshold = 5.8%
2006Week ending Oct 7, 2006 = 6.26%
Epidemic Threshold = 6.31%2005
Week ending Oct 8, 2005 = 5.5%
Epidemic Threshold = 6.7%
The mortality rate is comparable to the first week of flu season to epidemic threshold ratio in 2006 and 2007, did we have this level of hype in those years? If not, then why not?
------------------------------------
What are the WHO Pandemic Numbers?
As of July 6th, the WHO reports less than 100,000 confirmed cases of swine flu illness WORLDWIDE. Only 100,000 globally sickened when in the US we have an average of 36K regular flu deaths on average per year? But we have a pandemic?What is that global infection rate? .00148%Yes, that is one one-hundredth of one percent of the entire population, but it’s a pandemic?
[link to www.who.int]
------------------------------------
What numbers are the media reporting?
Yet media are getting away with inflating the numbers to “over a million” Americans sickened”:[link to www.sfgate.com] What else is the media reporting?At every turn, there are swine flu stories in the news of people dying and contracting H1N1, and thousands of articles on swine flu as a general topic. A “H1N1” search in Google news alone resulted in 204,998 articles
[link to news.google.com] Comparatively, a “healthcare plan” search in Google news resulted in only 8,536 articles.[link to news.google.com] It is not my intent in any way to minimize those deaths and illnesses, but these events, unfortunately, happen every year with regular flu. We just don’t hear about it in the media. In fact, 83 children in the US died from the flu in the 2007-2008 season. It is harsh, but it’s factual. Look again at the CDC numbers and specifically the mortality chart above. At minimum, why aren’t the actual historical numbers being reported with these emotional stories for perspective to prevent public overreaction?
[link to www.cdc.gov]
------------------------------------
Will the Vaccine Be Safe? Effective?
Well, the US gov has been advised to accept the vaccine without the safety and efficacy tests.[link to www.webmd.com]
------------------------------------
If the Vaccine Is not Safe or Effective, Will the Makers be Held Accountable for Damage?
No. Congress has made them legally “immune” (pun fully intended), and Kathleen Sebelius, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, reinforced this with a recent, signed document from her office.

Summation
My summation is brief because I believe the data and evidence above speak without needed explanation: I’m not stating that people are not ill; rather, I am presenting the actual numbers, which indicate this is a mis- and dis-information fear campaign perpetrated on the people. The numbers do not warrant the emotional hype.I welcome any additional evidence and certainly corrections if needed.Oh, and on another note, have you noticed that: From 2003 – to date, the Military Industrial Complex made off like bandits…
From 2007 – 2008, it was Big Oil’s turnFrom 2008 to date, the BankersNow it appears it is Big Pharma and Big MedHas all the money been transferred to the intended recipients? FFS, there isn’t any money left. Is this it?
