Please, if you haven’t already done so, then read the previous blog entry entitled “Am I My Brother’s Keeper?”, it will provide context for what you are about to read.  In the posting, I exposed in part, through the use of a metaphor, the truth about the current healthcare reform legislation in the United States.  The hidden hand  behind the current push was revealed for my readers and to the world (if they read the blog).  And since then, credible third party verification of my assertions, was leaked and reported in the NY Times on November 14, four days after my blog entry was written. 

If you have read my previous blog entry, then you will see the significance of this article and it’s revelations. Here is an excerpt from the article from the NY Times, along with a link to the entire article.

WASHINGTON — In the official record of the historic House debate on overhauling health care, the speeches of many lawmakers echo with similarities. Often, that was no accident.

E-mail messages obtained by The New York Times show that the lobbyists drafted one statement for Democrats and another for Republicans.

The lobbyists, employed by Genentech and by two Washington law firms, were remarkably successful in getting the statements printed in the Congressional Record under the names of different members of Congress.

Genentech, a subsidiary of the Swiss drug giant Roche, estimates that 42 House members picked up some of its talking points — 22 Republicans and 20 Democrats, an unusual bipartisan coup for lobbyists.”

They go on to say …”In recent years, Genentech’s political action committee and lobbyists for Roche and Genentech have made campaign contributions to many House members, including some who filed statements in the Congressional Record. And company employees have been among the hosts at fund-raisers for some of those lawmakers. But Evan L. Morris, head of Genentech’s Washington office, said, “There was no connection between the contributions and the statements.”

As I originally wrote in the previous blog entry, “The gigantic pharmaceutical companies who fund politicians stand to benefit most by expanding the number of participants in this massive, nationalized forced health insurance plan, ie drug game.” .

Now there is public evidence to support that conclusion.  The drug companies were caught red handed in
writing the dialogue for both sides (Democrat and Republican) in the debate on healthcare reform.                                                    

This clearly demonstrates that in either scenario, a Democratic oriented healthcare bill or a Republican oriented healthcare bill, the drug companies win.   Although it is affirming to have public evidence for the critical analysis I present in my blog, it is not my goal to say I told you so. 

Rather, I exposed this scheme so that in the light of truth, a rational wellness, prevention, and health care plan could be developed that would address the real needs of people without bankrupting them or the country.  Equally important, the plan would be based on people having an actual choice of whether or not to participate, not mandatory  participation and a faux choice about whether or not there is a “public option”. 

Hopefully, I can complete a short book on the subject in time to affect the current evolving healthcare debate and legislation.  But while I am working on that you can help by sharing this blog with others and continuing to keep yourself informed.
