Why Romney/Obamacare is Fascism

Nearly 40 years ago a god-brother got involved in medical testing and made a fortune.  Easy and expensive,  capitalist insurance (as opposed to free market insurance) forced prices up higher than costs, and personal wealth ensued.

Now comes a college dropout that is allowing the costs of medical testing to fall fast, a matter of deflation, which we need if our economy is to recover.
There are a billion tests done every year in the United States, but too many of them are done in the emergency room. If you were able to do some of those tests before a person gets checked into the ER, you’d start to see problems earlier; you’d have time to intervene before a patient needed to go to the hospital. If you remove the biggest barriers to these tests, you’ll see them used in smarter ways.
If you remove the legal barriers.  You see in a fascist dictatorship, we are not free to buy what we want or know what is going on with our bodies.  The HEPA rules to keep your medical records secret is not to protect you, but to protect big govt and big pharma from you.  If you know the horrible things going on, like 1/2 of all medicine taken is worthless, even harmful, you might ask for change.

Orwell warned of mind-control and Huxley warned of chemical control 75 years ago, guess which one the state has chosen for the means of oppression?  Both!

Now listen to the young lady and spot the opportunity:
No one thinks of the lab-testing experience as positive. It should be! One way to create that is to help people engage with the data once their physicians release it. 
She has taken the kool-aid.  She can be beat.  Can you spot where?  "one the physicians release it."  She has bought into the weltanshauung in which the state agent, the doctor, is caretaker of your medical records.

So, set up a subscription in say a free place, where... hmm... Georgia, Vatican, Hong Kong, Singapore, Andorra, wherever humans can breathe free, and have people send in their blood drop (or data thereof) and publish the raw medical information.

Then doctors around the world, or any health-care professional can pitch healthcare improvements to the individual, on a yelp-based QC system.

Now, once you do so, this young woman will adjust in a heart beat, and you'll have some fearsome competition, but then that is best for the rest of us.  Do good while doing well!

You can make amazing personal wealth either working with or against the state.  Most billionaires make it selling guns to the warmongers, but like McGowan at MCI you can make it going against the warmongers.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.

But John, this outfit is heavily into IPR and very, very litigious - How does this factor in your assessment?

I would presume so, all the more reason to take the innovation overseas and escape the chaos of the USA markets for the order or anarchy overseas.
