Government
Rationing Cancer Care In the Name of Science under Obamacare
2014-05-19
[Victory Girls] The federal government has decided that your cancer diagnosis should not be called cancer. Why? Well, you see, you might want it treated, you may want to be proactive and have it removed. You may want to have a second opinion, have more tests and so on, and the Feds just don't want you to do that. It is costly. You may even want to see a nutritionist to change your diet, join a gym, start an exercise routine and get healthy. A bunch of bother all for naught. All of these decisions are being taken away from you. Not by your doctor -- their hands are being tied more and more every day by the red tape of Obamacare. These decisions are made by the federal government.

They have no idea if skin cancer runs in your family, if your grandmother and her sister had breast cancer, or if prostate or colon cancer has hit every male in your family between the age of 45 and 50. But there they are, sitting in that exam room with you and your doctor, who has your test results right there on the computer screen and she or he is telling you what you thought might be cancer is actually something called 'IDLE' -Indolent Lesions of Epithelial Origin. The National Cancer Institute proposed this change in a paper written 29 July 2013, and mind you, they are the main government agency for cancer research. In other words, they will say what the government wants them to say.

#4  Let's see Dr. Steve..

- They exhibit run away growth that is unchecked
- They invade and destroy normal cells around them
- They cause all sorts of unexpected consequences (Paraneoplastic syndrome)
- they wind up causing vast sums to be spent undoing the damage they cause

I'd say they are classic representatives of the current Hope and Change crew..

“Mr. Jones, we’re trying to correlate disease with lifestyle behaviors. Do you belong to any political organizations? Tea Party, yes I have heard of them. Well, I have some very good news for you – you don’t need any treatment at all.”
