[UC] Important health reform data, INQ

[Glenn moyer]

Citizens,

When the "sanctimonious" lies called health care reform were being spread by 
the corporate media and the Democrat/Republican party, we were to believe that 
"waste" and "fraud" were to be stripped from medicare and medicaid systems in 
order to pay for subsidized junk insurance.

Please carefully review this article and temporary reprieve designed to 
continue fooling seniors until the tax cuts for billionaires are forgotten. 
(link below)


As a few of us have been pointing out, the real plan is to convert medicare and 
medicaid to the same type of junk insurance the middle classes are quietly 
being forced to accept.  The trick is to "expand" these programs while 
simultaneously destroying access to actual health care.  

If you wish to start understanding this charade, carefully review this article 
and temporary reprieve.  We can discuss this more.

(Please pray for the profoundly heroic private and Australian.  These 
individuals have renewed hope for humanity.) 
   


"Congress was under tremendous pressure this time, with medical groups 
estimating that as many as two-thirds of doctors would stop taking new Medicare 
patients. Health care for military members, their families, and retirees was 
also in jeopardy, since Tricare payments are tied to Medicare's."

The DP had yet another take... including this truly memorable  paragraph:

"In 2009, developers announced they planned to build the hotel at 40th  and 
Pine streets. They changed locations after nearby residents expressed  
concerns that the building would harm the neighborhood’s identity. The project  
site was then moved to Walnut Street to fit in better with the road’s  
commercial aesthetic."

I'm afraid that the Penn people really believe this, and  that Edmund Burke 
(who said it before Georgio Santayana was born) will  prove to be correct 
that "Those who forget history are destined to repeat  it."

the penn people and the hotel developer believe the hotel is 
in the interests of penn.


it appears some residential buildings on walnut and 41st are 
being torn down from the road's "commercial aesthetic" to 
accommodate this hotel/office project.


some background about the penn tower hotel, part of the penn 
health system and owned by penn health system:

Well, it's a good thing that suburban commuters do not primarily use Walnut
St. to get out of the city as they did when I was a kid.

Still,  Schuylkill Expressway construction and Blue Route expansion might
force people to detour by Walnut or Spruce St.

Also, the main street through UC might be tied up for quite some time.
Tut-TUT!  After all, we're ONLY residents.

I don't know ... this DP 'graf reads like a pretty straight account to 
me, except where they got the year wrong. But who's counting?


I was curious to see the intricate network of public-sector financing 
that underlies this project. Of course, the private sector doesn't lend 
money anymore, so I suppose it's good news /somebody's/ still doing it.


It also sheds light on the fact Philadelphia's vaunted eds-&-meds 
industry has shown its upside during this recession. Health-care 
spending is still on a tear. It's been a real cushion for West 
Philadelphia, compared to, say, West Las Vegas.
