Obama vs AMA

Obama declares time to fix health care is now
By PHILIP ELLIOTT, Associated Press Writer
"I know there are some who believe that reform is too expensive, but I can assure you that doing nothing will cost us far more in the coming years," Obama said at a town-hall style meeting at a high school here. "Our deficits will be higher. Our premiums will go up. Our wages will be lower, our jobs will be fewer, and our businesses will suffer."

Since when did Obama care about the cost of anything? He has agreed with TARP ($700 billion), signed the Recovery Act ($787 billion) and a federal budget deficit of $992 billion (a total of $2.5 trillion)

AMA wary of Obama call for public health insurance
CHICAGO – The nation's largest doctors group isn't sold on President Barack Obama's call for a public health plan and could be a hurdle to his reform efforts.

Dr. Nancy Nielsen says the American Medical Association has "major concerns about government control over health care decisions." Nielsen is president of the AMA, which Obama will address on Monday.

The AMA will be Obama and his Cheerleaders' next target.

Austin ER's got 2,678 visits from 9 people over 6 years

AMERICAN-STATESMAN STAFF
In the past six years, eight people from Austin and one from Luling racked up 2,678 emergency room visits in Central Texas, costing hospitals, taxpayers and others $3 million, according to a report from a nonprofit made up of hospitals and other providers that care for the uninsured and low-income Central Texans.

The report that mentioned the nine high-frequency patients didn't include reasons for all of those ER visits and didn't identify the patients because of privacy laws. But Kitchen, a former state legislator from Austin, gave a sketch: All nine speak English; three are homeless; five are women whose average age is 40, and four are men whose average age is 50. Seven have a mental health diagnosis and eight have a drug abuse diagnosis. Kitchen said she did not know their citizenship status.

People will abuse the new system, then the federal government will (through need for cost-cutting) dictate you're lifestyle. Think 1984.
