There is a huge sales campaign now in high gear getting the Obama Healthcare Plan approved and agreed upon. Health and Human Service Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is now saying that the existing unacceptable healthcare system is a disaster and must be changed to a new system immediately. No time to waste this has to be done as an emergency measure. She is saying that high healthcare costs are because those who do not have healthcare coverage are bankrupting the system and must be brought into the system to make a new system work. A conference report by Sebelius Tuesday of this week based upon a meeting Monday with the leaders of the healthcare system, is declaring her assessment correct that the healthcare system as it exists cannot assume offering services to the underclass now not covered, and therefore we need a complete overhaul and a national healthcare plan for all Americans now. She is suggesting that all attending this so called planning meeting in Washington agreed with that outcome. I seriously question that. Ever since Obama assumed office we have seen one emergency after another all blamed on of course George Bush that has to be resolved immediately. Crisis is the Obama’s way of getting things done. Declare an emergency and it gets attention without discussion, just gets done. Wonder why we still have no credit flowing from the banking system, or why the Social Security system is now failing, or why is Medicaid suddenly failing, but no action there? Hmm. I guess Medicare and Medicaid are going to be used for something bigger? Perhaps they will be the new healthcare plan for all of us. Hmm. Obama does not need to worry about fixing these agencies, he will build them up for the new universal care system. Ok, we take failed systems and make them bigger?
This is the dishonest strategic way they will sell this. Using comments from existing providers of health care insurance, in response to questions Sebelius presented, then in turn arriving at her own conclusion, and interjecting the notion of the group of health care executives agreeing with her findings. Of course the question to the existing providers was…. can you assume costs of the underclass and all persons not now covered? The resounding response was probably no, so that is that. Government now has all they need to begin and complete their plan for a new government run system with approval of the existing healthcare system providers, or at least Sebelius making it appear that way. The Obama administration through Secretary Sebelius will try to make it appear that all options were discussed, and the final conclusion was to move toward universal health care for all. This of course avoids transparency totally.
This is the same construct that has been used in many school and educational systems* for years, making assumptions based upon pre-planned questioning that predicts the only response desirable to make the policy choice desired. The use of outcome-based strategy as defined below works in many forms called behavior modification, or values clarification. This really has been borrowed now by governments to get policy enacted with the help of the public through the same kinds of predictive modeling with questions that lead to the desired answer to the posed question and thus policy needed. The details of what the policy will be is not offered or explained. It is perceived by government that they need not bother with those details, it would only confuse the general public. They cannot take the chance of another Hillary Clinton debacle when the Clinton administration mounted their effort on Universal Healthcare. You see, the Clinton administration was using transparency tactics, and that is what got them in trouble. In fact details are the very root of the problem that the Obama administration wants to avoid at all costs. The policy is then suggested based upon the input, in this case that of the of healthcare providers, in their responses to outcome based questions to arrive at a conclusion that may or may not be what the healthcare providers believe or would want to be party to. It is becoming dangerous for professional and executives to attend Washington conferences because you will never really know how your views might be utilized in the final report. Just ask many of the scientists who initially participated in the Al Gore climate change surveys and groups.
1*“Part of any theory of behavior modification, values clarification or outcome-based education involves the idea of “what do we want the future to be like?” To decide on how to modify values, beliefs, or behavior, one must first decide what “outcomes” they want to exist in the future, then what behaviors are necessary to bring the outcomes about, and finally what values, beliefs and convictions are necessary to enable or support these. All these “social engineers” first establish a very clear idea and model of what they want the future to be like, but you will have to fight against those who would happily make those decisions for you”. They have always been around sowing their mischief. They are here now. They are our Federal Government in the form of the Obama Administration who want Universal Health Care like those programs in Canada and elsewhere where they don’t live up to their stated expectations. *As any hospital near the Canadian border will attest, they do brisk business treating Canadians that cannot get approved of or have to wait for months or years for medical procedures in Canada, so they pay full price to get what they need in American hospitals so they can continue with their lives, or avoid perishing.
