Obama wants to use Canada’s “system” as a model. Canada’s system is identical to Great Brittan’s and Canada’s Politicians do not use the system that they force on everyone else.

Obama and Kathleen Sebelius keep talking about not interfering in doctors and patients affairs however this is a direct attack on your liberty in that you will only be allowed to go to Government “Health Clinics” where the government will dictate exactly what your doctor can and can not do. You will no longer have the option to go to a private or research hospital they will not exist. This is Sebelius in her own words. Notice the slip of the tongue when talking about the “moratorium.”

Swine flu vaccine plan in disarray

Date: August 28 2009

Julie Robotham Medical Editor

THE Federal Government’s plan to immunise the population against swine flu is in chaos because insurers may not cover doctors who administer the jab.

Inadequate testing and the possibility of spreading other infections means there is too high a risk patients will sue, the insurers say.

Despite weeks of crisis talks, the Government has refused to underwrite doctors’ liability for the vaccinations and medical groups say the program – due to start as early as mid-September – cannot proceed unless doctors are insured.

The president of the Australian Medical Association, Andrew Pesce, said: ”The indemnity issue needs to be sorted out or else the vaccination program won’t go ahead In the environment we’re in, someone has to be held accountable for rare vaccine reactions that may occur

”If the Government decides there is a priority need to roll out the vaccine, then it has a duty to indemnify the doctors who provide it.”

A spokesman for the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, Ronald McCoy, said the wrangling could undermine community confidence in the vaccine’s safety. ”It’s the public’s health that’s at risk here,” he said.

The Health Minister, Nicola Roxon, announced in May an order with vaccine supplier CSL for 21 million doses – enough to protect at least half the population from the flu strain. Analysts’ estimates suggest that contract may be worth up to $120 million.

But the insurers believe the distribution of the vaccine in multiple-dose vials exposes people to unnecessary risk of blood-borne infection from other recipients. As well, they believe the possibility of rare side-effects has been inadequately explored. These issues, they say, will make it hard for doctors to advise people whether or not to have the injection, exposing them to patient complaints that they were not properly informed.

The chief executive of the Medical Indemnity Industry Association of Australia, Ellen Edmonds-Wilson, said it was up to individual insurers ”to make an assessment of the risk [from] the drug”, which she noted had not yet been approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration.

Medical defence organisations MDA National Insurance and Avant Mutual Group said they were still considering whether to indemnify members who gave patients the vaccinations. Avant’s general manager of claims, Lisa Clarke, said the entire industry was ”in ongoing discussions with the [health department] on the proposed roll-out.”

A spokeswoman for the Medical Indemnity Protection Society, Elda Rebechi, said the company would cover doctors, but warned them to ”appropriately advise patients that the vaccine is untested and may have [currently] unknown consequences We do not know the risk [or] benefit of the vaccine versus contracting the disease.”

Other companies told the Herald they would insist on a federally funded doctors’ insurance scheme.

But the head of clinical research at the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance at the University of Sydney, Robert Booy, said the insurers’ arguments were superficial and ”unnecessarily inflammatory”, and proper training of clinicians would virtually eliminate infection risk.

Other doctors questioned the Government’s commitment to multi-dose vials, saying they were ordered when experts feared a severe epidemic.

NSW emergency departments last week saw 203 patients with flu symptoms – down from 338 a week earlier, and a low number compared to regular flu seasons, NSW Health said yesterday.

CSL’s director of public affairs, Rachel David, said the company’s clinical trials were designed to test how much vaccine would be needed to provoke an immune response, not its fundamental safety – which was the same as seasonal flu vaccine.

A spokeswoman for the Department of Health and Ageing said the Government would take delivery of 2 million vaccine doses by the end of August. ”These can be predeployed and stored in states and territories in preparation for an initial vaccine program”, when further CSL trial data was received, she said.

Ms Roxon has said immunisations could start by mid-September, but the spokeswoman emphasised the start date was not set. The program would focus first on health workers, pregnant women and people with chronic disease. Children would receive the shots later.

The department was ”discussing medical indemnity issues for immunisation providers with relevant stakeholders”.

Eleven Republican members of the House and Senate, all of whom are doctors, discuss the problems with the health care legislation the Democratic leadership is trying to force through the House of Representatives over the objections of the American people. Republicans are urging Democrats to abandon the bloated Democratic health care bill – which would cut Medicare, raise taxes, and hike insurance premiums – and work with Republicans to draft bipartisan health care legislation that will truly reduce health care costs.

Joe Stornaiuolo, a doorman for 15 years, loses his finger, then his job, and ultimately his health insurance. Unable to afford the medication or doctor visits he needs to manage his chronic liver disease, Joe has to be hospitalized four times in one year, running up bills in excess of $60,000. When he finally qualifies for Social Security Disability, he discovers a terrible Catch-22: his income is too great to qualify for Medicaid, and there’s a standard two-year waiting period to qualify for Medicare. Despite the unflinching support and care of his wife, Dale, Joe’s condition deteriorates, and he passes away just before Christmas. With a grandchild she now must raise alone and bills she can never hope to repay, Dale attributes Joe’s premature death to his lack of medical coverage.

President Obama today suggested that the health care reform legislation for which hes pushing has been endorsed by the American Association of Retired Person.
We have the AARP on board because they know this is a good deal for our seniors, the president said.
At another point he said: Well, first of all, another myth that we’ve been hearing about is this notion that somehow we’re going to be cutting your Medicare benefits. We are not. AARP would not be endorsing a bill if it was undermining Medicare, okay?

The problem?

The AARP hasn’t endorsed any plan yet.

The country’s largest advocacy group for Americans over 50 issued a statement after the event saying, “While the President was correct that AARP will not endorse a health care reform bill that would reduce Medicare benefits, indications that we have endorsed any of the major health care reform bills currently under consideration in Congress are inaccurate.”
