Could these items be True about Health Care?

An Indianapolis doctor's letter to Sen. Bayh about the Bill (Note:  Dr. Stephen E. Frazer, MD practices as an anesthesiologist in Indianapolis , IN )
Here is a letter I sent to Senator Bayh. Feel free to copy it and send it around to all other representatives. -- Stephen Fraser
 
July 23, 2009
 
Senator Bayh,
 
As a practicing physician I have major concerns with the health care bill before Congress. I actually have read the bill and am shocked by the brazenness of the government's proposed involvement in the patient-physician relationship. The very idea that the government will dictate and ration patient care is dangerous and certainly not helpful in designing a health care system that works for all. Every physician I work with agrees that we need to fix our health care system, but the proposed bills currently making their way through congress will be a disaster if passed.
 
I ask you respectfully and as a patriotic American to look at the following troubling lines that I have read in the bill. You cannot possibly believe that these proposals are in the best interests of the country and our fellow citizens.

Page 22 of the HC Bill:  Mandates that the Government will audit books of all employers that self-insure!!

Page 30 Sec 123 of HC bill:   THERE WILL BE A GOVT COMMITTEE that decides what treatments/benefits you get.

Page 29 lines 4-16 in the HC bill: YOUR HEALTH CARE IS RATIONED!!!
 
Page 42 of HC Bill:  The Health Choices Commissioner will choose your HC benefits for you. You have no choice!

Page 50 Section 152 in HC bill: HC will be provided to ALL non-US citizens, illegal or otherwise.

Page 58 HC Bill:  Government will have real-time access to individuals' finances & a 'National ID Health card' will be issued!
 
Page 59 HC Bill lines 21-24:  Government will have direct access to your bank accounts for elective funds transfer.
 
Page 65 Sec 164: Is a payoff subsidized plan for retirees and their families in unions & community organizations: (ACORN).

Page 84 Sec 203 HC bill: Government mandates ALL benefit packages for private HC plans in the 'Exchange.'
 
Page 85 Line 7 HC Bill:  Specifications of Benefit Levels for Plans -- The Government will ration your health care!
 
Page 91 Lines 4-7 HC Bill: Government mandates linguistic appropriate services.  (Translation: illegal aliens.)
 
Page 95 HC Bill Lines 8-18: The Government will use groups (i.e. ACORN & Americorps to sign up individuals for Govt HC plan.

Page 85 Line 7 HC Bill: Specifications of Benefit Levels for Plans. (AARP members - your health care WILL be rationed!)
Page 102 Lines 12-18 HC Bill:  Medicaid eligible individuals will be automatically enrolled in Medicaid. (No choice.)

Page 12 4 lines 24-25 HC: No company can sue GOVT on price fixing. No "judicial review" against Government monopoly.

Page 127 Lines 1-16 HC Bill: Doctors/ American Medical Association - The Government will tell YOU what salary you can make.

Page 145 Line 15-17: An Employer MUST auto-enroll employees into public option plan. (NO choice!)

Page 126 Lines 22-25: Employers MUST pay for HC for part-time employees AND their families.  (Employees shouldn't get excited about this as employers will be forced to reduce its work force, benefits, and wages/salaries to cover such a huge expense.)

Page 149 Lines 16-24: ANY Employer with payroll 401k & above who does not provide public option will pay 8% tax on all payroll!  (See the last comment in parenthesis.)
Page 150 Lines 9-13: A business with payroll between $251K & $401K who doesn't provide public option will pay 2-6% tax on all payroll.
 
Page 167 Lines 18-23: ANY individual who doesn't have acceptable HC according to Government will be taxed 2.5% of income.

Page 170 Lines 1-3 HC Bill: Any NONRESIDENT Alien is exempt from individual taxes. (Americans will pay.)

Page 195 HC Bill: Officers & employees of the GOVT HC Admin..  will have access to ALLAmericans' finances and personal records.
 
Page 203 Line 14-15 HC: "The tax imposed under this section shall not be treated as tax.."  (Yes, it really says that!)
Page 239 Line 14-24 HC Bill: Government will reduce physician services for Medicaid Seniors.  (Low-income and the poor are affected.)

Page 241 Line 6-8 HC Bill: Doctors: It doesn't matter what specialty you have trained yourself in -- you will all be paid the same! (Just TRY to tell me that's not Socialism!)

Page 253 Line 10-18: The Government sets the value of a doctor's time, profession, judgment, etc.  (Literally-- the value of humans.)

Page 265 Sec 1131: The Government mandates and controls productivity for "private" HC industries.

Page 272 SEC. 1145: TREATMENT OF CERTAIN CANCER HOSPITALS - Cancer patients - welcome to rationing!
 
Page 280 Sec 1151: The Government will penalize hospitals for whatever the Government deems preventable (i.e...re-admissions).

Page 298 Lines 9-11: Doctors: If you treat a patient during initial admission that results in a re-admission -- the Government will penalize you.
 
Page 317 L 13-20: PROHIBITION on ownership/investment. (The Government tells doctors what and how much they can own!)

Page 341 Lines 3-9: The Government has authority to disqualify Medicare Advance Plans, HMOs, etc.  (Forcing people into the Government plan)
 
Page 354 Sec 1177: The Government will RESTRICT enrollment of 'special needs people!'   Unbelievable!
 
Page 379 Sec 1191: The Government creates more bureaucracy via a "Tele-Health Advisory Committee."  (Can you say HC by phone?)
 
Page 425 Lines 4-12: The Government mandates "Advance-Care Planning Consult."  (Think senior citizens end-of-life patients.)
 
Page 425 Lines 17-19: The Government will instruct and consult regarding living wills, durable powers of attorney, etc.  (And it's mandatory!)
Page 425 Lines 22-25, 426 Lines 1-3: The Government provides an "approved" list of end-of-life resources; & nbsp;guiding you in death. (Also called 'assisted suicide.')
 
Page 427 Lines 15-24: The Government mandates a program for orders on "end-of-life."  (The Government has a say in how your life ends!)
 
Page 429 Lines 1-9: An "advanced-care planning consultant" will be used frequently as a patient's health deteriorates.
 
Page 429 Lines 10-12: An "advanced care consultation" may include an ORDER for end-of-life plans.  (AN ORDER TO DIE FROM THE GOVERNMENT?!?)

Page 429 Lines 13-25: The GOVT will specify which doctors can write an end-of-life order.  (I wouldn't want to stand before God after getting paid for THAT job!)    

Page 430 Lines 11-15: The Government will decide what level of treatment you will have at end-of-life!  (Again -- no choice!)
 
Page 469: Community-Based Home Medical Services = Non-Profit Organizations.  (Hello?  ACORN Medical Services here!?!)
 
Page 489 Sec 1308: The Government will cover marriage and family therapy.  (Which means Government will insert itself into your marriage even.)

Page 494-498: Government will cover Mental Health Services including defining, creating, and rationing those services.


Senator, I guarantee that I personally will do everything possible to inform patients and my fellow physicians about the dangers of the proposed bills you and your colleagues are debating.
 
Furthermore, if you vote for a bill that enforces socialized medicine on the country and destroys the doctor-patient relationship, I will do everything in my power to make sure you lose your job in the next election.
 
Respectfully,
 
Stephen E. Fraser, MD

Check, Check 1, 2, 3, 4

Mic Check – those were fun when we were moving from the Analog Frequencies to the Digital ones.  I don’t know if the other Motors I was working with remember.  But when the Tech’s were on the Air, they constantly were checking the radio levels.

During our Stand Down Times – We also interacted with the Tech’s, the funny thing was they thought other Tech’s were saying Check Check – they they would respond 1,2,3,4.

I guess you might have had to be there – but it was so funny, we had tears running.

Nothing to do with Real Estate – But funny just the same.

Let me do your Real Estate Search – go to our Mother Site of Paris911 and see what we can do for you.

Thanks to Kinetic Knowledge for Recognizing Santa Clarita Real Estate .TV

Chris and Kristen who are the “need to know” people that are operating the Kinetic Knowledge Blog Platforms – are really wonderful.  With all of the calling I do in the “attempting to understand”, I know they are quality because they still answer my calls and questions.

A lot of those in my industry “Real Estate” hire out their marketing services.  I think that knowing “marketing” and being able to do it yourself is very important, especially in Real Estate.  Why? – because if I can market myself and our Team – I sure can prove to you that I can market the home you want me to sell for you!

We are The Paris911 Team with Santa Clarita Real Estate at our Core.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions, comments or suggestions.

Where does that leave Blogger – Google’s Blog Platform??

I love Social media.  I love to train and educate other Realtors and Real Estate agents.

I was in the RE/MAX of Valencia Office on Dickason Drive in Valencia CA, when one of the Licensed leasing agents from SCVLeasing came into the computer room, introduced herself and wanted to ask me some questions.

We talked about what her Team leader was doing and was not doing with Social media, Blogging and what other resources that The Paris911 Team finds valuable.

I introduced her to Twitter, 12Seconds, and my views with Facebook and Fan pages.  Being only the tip of the proverbial iceberg – If it was her business, she might be dangerous, because there was a true willingness to learn.  I rarely see the Team Leader wanting to build it themselves.  Thinking it is better to hire out – I see a huge mistake made in that model.  Those you hire aren’t you.  You are you and the one the Client wants to hire, not your marketer, or not your web optimizer or Canned blog Content writer.

It has taken me one hell of a learning curve, a lot of reading and self teaching about what works and what does not.  I find that consistency and on topic blogging is about the only “trick” that I know and that I attribute to Santa Clarita Real Estate and The Paris911 team’s Success.

We are always posting, or I should say I am the only author of all of our posts.  Not only a Subject matter in Real Estate – But someone that is not afraid of change or learning something new.

It might take me a while to wrap my mind around some of the new resources that present themselves on the Real Estate Front – but when I do, I become very dangerous as can be attested to by Kinetic Knowledge and other resources that we utilize with our Play it Forward business model.

I am not sure if this nice young lady will be willing to put the work that it takes to get where her boss wants to be.  But if they do they will be heads and tails above where they currently hit on the WWW.

I closed in stating that it is nice that the team leaders take trips, buy new boats and RV’s.  But I am not so sure that others in this world are really excited to be reading about their newest conquest that was had at the hands of a client’s earned commission. 

I finalized that the close should be market expertise and not what vacation I am on or returning from.

As Police Officers, the general public wanted us to get the job done to keep them safe – it was just that sometimes they did not want to see it being done.

I have several pay for blog’s.  They hit like sledge hammers, I have a Square Space and several Lenses from Squidoo – but never ever forsake the Google blog Platform – Blogger – It hits like a 600 ton freight train, when used property and not as a Trick Device to post CRAP!

Santa Clarita Short Sales - Attorney Negotiation

At no charge to our clients - we have just built a site around our Team's working with an Attorney's Office on Retainer.  Each one of our Short Sale Clients gets access to this fantastic resource.

The agents that are not utilizing the offices of An Attorney to do their short sale negotiation, are not covering their clients with the best of their ability.  There are a lot of questions that can be asked and a lot of answers given - but finding what will happen after the next two years after your short sale closes - those are the questions that only a Lawyer can answer.  (that is if an answer can be found).

But you know as I, attorney's and their Legal Firms do one hell of a job with Short Sale Negotiation, which might override every out source company without Law firms on Retainer.

You make the decision - if you are conetmplating a short sale - give the Paris911 Team a Call we are with RE/MAX of Santa Clarita and will cover your six when it comes to Santa Clarita Real Estate and our handling of the Short Sales.

Dallas DFW Airport on my way to a REO Conference

Posted by Picasa

Santa Clarita Real Estate

Pictures are worth a thousand words - I just flew into Dallas DFW airport for a REO/Foreclosure Conference so we can best advise our clients as to what the happenings with the Real Estate market are and will be.

Interesting flight though - I think they are making planes smaller. I saw a few familiar faces amongst the other passengers - Which does my heart good to see that they are taking such an interest in the future of Santa Clarita Real Estate.

At the Hotel which I am staying, I was outside unloading the CAB and ran into an agent from Arizona who knows of Paris911. I was elated and this goes to show you what a little bit of work (ok, alright, I admit it a whole lotta work) can get you and your team with regard to Brand Awareness.
