DACA is Trans Pacific Trade Pact which has a goal of making US Foreign Economic Zones and workers operate as they do overseas which means no sovereign US citizens in US Foreign Economic Zones which means global NGOs like World Health Organization----International Labor Organization both under United Nations is for whom our 5% to the 1% CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA GLOBAL WALL STREET POLS AND PLAYERS work. We KNOW DACA is simply installing that lower-tiered education and health care structure for all the billions of global labor pool coming to US Foreign Economic Zones taking WE THE PEOPLE THE US 99% OF CITIZENS with them........we still pay PAYROLL TAXES as MEDICAL SAVINGS ACCOUNTS for SS Disability, for Medicare and Medicaid ----we simply will not receive the level of health care for which we PAID. Those white 99% of citizens tied to race and class must remember our global labor pool pays PAYROLL TAXES too----so they pay for that access to SS DISABILITY, MEDICARE AND MEDICAID just as US citizens do.
PLEASE STOP FIGHTING THAT OTHER 99% POPULATION GROUP----HOLD THOSE 5% TO THE 1% ROBBER BARON POLS AND PLAYERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR LOOTING OUR US TREASURY, PUBLIC TRUSTS, PEOPLE'S PENSIONS, 401Ks, HOME EQUITY-----WE STILL HAVE ALL THE WEALTH OUR FAMILIES NEED-----WE SIMPLY NEED TO STAND UP AND BRING IT BACK TO OUR COMMUNITIES.
When we here today's 5% pols and players pretend to be supporting what was our developed nation REAL left social progressive UNIVERSAL CARE-----MEDICARE FOR ALL-----they are really simply MOVING FORWARD what the UNITED NATIONS CALLS UNIVERSAL CARE/SINGLE PAYER. It is that refugee level of basic preventative care expanding into all developing nations with FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES-----and the US is being taken DOWN TO DEVELOPING NATION STATUS. This is MOVING FORWARD HEALTH CARE POLICY coming from far-right wing global Wall Street CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA---NOW TRUMP.
What makes this UNITED NATIONS/World Health universal is those global 1% extreme wealth citizens are building US quality health systems in their nations and extending basic refugee-level care to those global labor pool and their sovereign citizens where none existed before. It did not exist NOT BECAUSE THOSE GLOBAL 1% COULD NOT AFFORD IT-----it did not exist because global telemedicine making access to doctors over computer is replacing REAL LIVE access to doctors in the flesh.
Notice Bill Gates and his GLOBAL PHARMA AND MEDICAL DEVICE corporation touts this as grand----his Microsoft and his PHARMA are going to make him a trillionaire -----while access to REAL US quality health care for all DISAPPEARS for all global 99% AND US 99% black, white, and brown citizens.
UN adopts 'momentous' resolution on universal healthcare

The UN's adoption of a resolution on affordable universal healthcare (pdf) was momentous, according to its advocates.
The resolution, adopted by consensus in the general assembly on Wednesday, urged member states to develop health systems that avoid significant direct payments at the point of delivery and to have a mechanism for pooling risks to avoid catastrophic healthcare spending and impoverishment.
There was unusually wide support for the resolution. It came from the global north and south, including the US, the UK, South Africa and Thailand. By gaining support from every corner of the globe, the resolution recognised enthusiasm for universal healthcare from diverse countries and economies, said the Rockefeller Foundation, which has funded research on universal health systems.
According to the foundation, 150 million people worldwide face high healthcare costs, which push around 25m households into poverty each year. More than 3 billion people have to pay for healthcare themselves, forcing many – particularly women and children – to choose between healthcare and education.
Ceri Averill, Oxfam's health policy adviser, said significant momentum around the vote had been building for the past two years, partly through the efforts of the World Health Organisation's director, Margaret Chan, and showed real public commitment to universal healthcare. "We can hold member states to account because of the resolution," she said.
For Averill and Jeanette Vega, managing director of Rockefeller, endorsement of the resolution means universal healthcare will now be on the agenda of the UN high-level panel – co-chaired by the UK prime minister, David Cameron, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia and President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono of Indonesia – discussing the post-2015 development goals.
"There have been lots of discussions of what health goals should be, for example on non-communicable diseases. This resolution gives weight to health systems as a whole and questions of equity. It ensures that universal healthcare stays on the agenda as one of the post-MDG goals," said Averill.
Supporting universal healthcare is one thing, funding it is another. As the UN delegate from Singapore, Lee Boon Beng, said: "The path to achieving universal health coverage is complex and there is no universal formula. Instead, member states should adopt different solutions to their unique circumstances."
Here the debate revolves on the use of highly contentious user fees, insurance or general taxation. For Averill the problem with user fees and insurance is that the poorest people will not be able to afford them. Citing Ghana, she said no matter how low the insurance premiums are set, these will be out of reach of the poorest people and contribute very little in terms of funding. Many Ghanaians work in the informal sector, for example as street vendors, which makes it difficult to collect premiums.
Thailand is held up as a pioneer in developing universal health coverage. The south-east Asian country introduced free universal healthcare at the point of delivery in 2002 and has shown the concept is not out of reach of middle-income countries. Around 99% of the Thai population is covered through a comprehensive healthcare package. It ranges from health prevention and primary care, to hospitalisation due to traffic accidents, to more expensive services such as radiotherapy and access to antiretroviral therapy treatment for people with HIV. Indonesia, the Philippines and China have rolled out insurance-based health coverage that includes almost their entire populations.
Poorer countries, however, will have to rely on external help to extend affordable healthcare. Zambia on Thursday said it has been steadily increasing spending on healthcare, which is treated as a fundamental human right, but will have to rely on foreign help. "External financing equally remains an important factor in Zambia's resource mobilisation," said the country's delegate, Dr Mwaba Kasese-Bota.

This UNITED NATIONS/WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION universal care/single payer is what BOOKER is backing when he says he supports Bernie Sanders' MEDICARE FOR ALL. All global 1% OLD WORLD MERCHANTS OF VENICE FREEMASONS----whether Booker or Bernie Sanders----whether Elizabeth Warren or Jill Stein------whether Ellison or Turner------remember these are all far-right wing global 1% pols -----Booker/Kamela Harris, and Warren are raging CLINTON NEO-LIBERALS-----Stein, Sanders, Ellison, and Turner are THOSE SAME GLOBAL WALL STREET 1% PLAYER MORPHING TO FAR-RIGHT LIBERTARIAN MARXISM. These are all global 1% ONE WORLD ONE GOVERANCE UNITED NATIONS POLS-----and to see what they are pushing we have to go to WORLD HEALTH/WORLD BANK/IMF/ UNITED NATIONS-----there is absolutely no attention to WE THE PEOPLE THE 99% from these global Wall Street pols and players.
So, all developing nations tied to Foreign Economic Zones and embracing TRANS PACIFIC TRADE PACT will have the global health systems open for HEALTH TOURISM FOR THE GLOBAL 1% AND THEIR 2% ----while 99% of global labor pool----THAT WILL BE AMERICAN 99% AS WELL----will be tied to United Nations International Labor Organization 'universal care' ---preventative care only. WE WILL STILL PAY PAYROLL TAXES THAT WILL FUND FULL US QUALITY OF MEDICAL CARE ----it will simply go to global health systems as profit and that millions of dollars executive salary.
Booker signs on to Sanders's 'Medicare-for-all' bill
By Jordain Carney - 09/11/17 01:49 PM EDT
© Greg NashSen. Cory Booker is throwing his support behind a "Medicare for all" bill being introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), becoming the latest Democrat floated as a 2020 contender to back the legislation.
The New Jersey senator told NJTV News that he would sign on as a co-sponsor of the bill, which is scheduled to be rolled out on Wednesday.
"This is something that’s got to happen. ObamaCare was a first step in advancing this country, but I won’t rest until every American has a basic security that comes with having access to affordable health care," Booker told the New Jersey outlet.
He added that "you should not be punished because you are working-class or poor and be denied health care. I think health care should be a right to all."
Booker's office didn't immediately respond to a request for comment about his decision.
Sanders put his push for a single-payer healthcare system at the center of his 2016 presidential bid, and he has pledged for months that he would introduce legislation.
The idea is also gaining traction within the Democratic Party and is emerging as a litmus test for potential 2020 presidential candidates.
In addition to Booker, Democratic Sens. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) and Kamala Harris (Calif.) are supporting Sanders's legislation.
Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) also announced his support on Monday.
Booker had previously voiced some support for single-payer.
Asked on Twitter if he would support the government-run healthcare system, he said "there is great value if not justice In opening up Medicare to all" but Democrats should be focused on stopping the GOP effort to repeal and replace ObamaCare.
Despite growing support from the party's 2020 presidential crowd, Sanders's push for a single-payer system doesn't have unanimous support from the Senate Democratic caucus.
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said earlier this year that it should be one of the options on the table.
And four Democrats up for reelection in states won by President Trump, as well as Independent Sen. Angus King (Maine), voted against a recent single-payer amendment offered by GOP Sen. Steve Daines (Mont.).
Daines's amendment, which was expected to fail, was largely viewed as an attempt by Republicans to get Democrats to go on the record on the issue.

MAX BAUCUS was top gun in GANG OF RAGING NEO-LIBERALS and indeed he was the architect of Affordable Care Act-----as a global Wall Street 1% ACA was that right wing health structure deregulating and consolidating our public health system so it will operate like global Wall Street banks and investment firms. The ACA these several years created this two-tier structure =====the global health tourism and the global corporate university campus that is completely controlled as CORPORATE R AND D------including medical research and patenting. No cares about public health or welfare-----these are structures tied to MARKET PRICES THE GLOBAL RICH WILL PAY.
So, here is raging far-right global 1% BAUCUS as SCHUMER telling us ---well, now it may be time for a SINGLE-PAYER FOR THE 99% OF US CITIZENS. Single-payer/universal health care/Medicare for all -----all the same UNITED NATIONS WORLD HEALTH INTERNATIONAL LABOR ORGANIZATION global labor pool preventative care only.
THESE ARE THE FAKE ALT RIGHT ALT LEFT-------confusing US citizens wanting to be REAL right wing conservatives AND confusing US citizens wanting to be REAL left social progressive liberals----
WE CANNOT HAVE REAL EXPANDED AND IMPROVED MEDICARE FOR ALL IF AFFORDABLE CARE ACT DEREGULATION, PRIVATIZATION OF OUR FEDERAL MEDICARE, SS DISABILITY, MEDICAID, AND CONSOLIDATED HEALTH SYSTEM MONOPOLIES EXIST----WE MUST REVERSE ACA MOVING FORWARD.
Right wing Republicans are sitting back and laughing as 'fake Democrats' MOVE FORWARD far-right wing global Wall Street health policies. The only difference in UNITED NATIONS UNIVERSAL CARE and US right wing Republicans is----right wing Republicans do not want ANY PREVENTATIVE CARE----so, at this point American citizens are fighting only for global labor pool preventative care against a right wing NO HEALTH CARE AT ALL.
“The time has come”: ObamaCare architect Max Baucus endorses single-payer
AllahpunditPosted at 5:01 pm on September 10, 2017
It was just last month that Reason’s Peter Suderman sent the tweet below. Thirty-nine days later, Bernie Sanders is set to introduce a “Medicare for all” bill backed by big-name Dems like Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren while Republicans Lindsey Graham and Bill Cassidy are pushing a bill that would let individual states keep ObamaCare in place.
Actors union: Make it a crime to publish this accurate data about us
The future of health policy politics is Republicans defending something like Obamacare and Democrats pushing for something like single-payer
— Peter Suderman (@petersuderman) August 2, 2017
Why is it a big deal that Max Baucus has now come around as well?
Well, it’s not just that he was one of the architects of O-Care in 2009 as head of the Senate Finance Committee, making his “evolution” towards socialized medicine particularly noteworthy. It’s that Baucus was one of the bulwarks *against* single-payer in the Senate at the time. Leftists begged him to seize the moment eight years ago, when Democrats enjoyed a filibuster-proof majority, and push Medicare for all. No dice, he said. The country’s not ready for it. It won’t pass and Democrats might get wiped out in the midterms for even trying. In the end they got wiped out in the midterms anyway and large chunks of the country do now appear to be ready for it — including Republicans, so long as the small matter of cost isn’t emphasized.
“I just think the time has come,” Baucus told NBC News Friday, after stunning healthcare observers earlier in the day by seemingly coming around on single-payer at a public forum. “Back in ’09, we were not ready to address it. It would never have passed. Here we are nine years later, I think it’s time to hopefully have a very serious good faith look at it.”…
“I started out by saying everything is on the table,” Baucus recalled. “But I did make an exception and that was single-payer. I said, nope, we’re not going to put single-payer on the table. Why? In my judgement, America was just not there … It’s branded as socialistic by too many people.”…
Baucus compared the issue’s evolution to that of gay rights. “It’s anathema for a long time, and then suddenly — acceptance,” he said.
Yeah, although the issues are far afield from each other, I think there’s something to what he says about single-payer and gay marriage. The same goes for marijuana legalization. Subjects that for many years seemed like political third-rails are now suddenly safe to touch as public opinion rapidly “evolves.” The fact that young left-leaning adults are replacing older more conservative ones in the population helps explain why; look at any poll on gay marriage and legalizing weed and you’ll see how much movement there’s been over just the past 10 years. Wider cultural exposure for gays and marijuana use has made people more comfortable with both as well. In the case of single-payer, though, I wonder if attitudes have changed dramatically or if it’s more a matter of post-Reagan Washington having mistakenly assumed for years that the country is more conservative than it really is and wouldn’t consider it.
Remember this poll?
Wanting the feds to guarantee universal coverage isn’t the same as wanting the feds to be America’s only insurer but they’re related insofar as both show enthusiasm for a bigger role for Uncle Sam in the industry insurance. And there’s nothing new about that enthusiasm, as you can see: Americans were actually more likely to support a federal responsibility to guarantee coverage at the end of the Clinton era than they are now. The numbers shrank during the Obama era as Republicans revolted against O and left-wing designs on the insurance industry, but now that our guy is in charge instead of their guy and the country has seen firsthand that ObamaCare isn’t a panacea for problems with health insurance, the public’s ready for a second look at the feds wading in. With Sanders, Warren, and Harris all now publicly in favor of single-payer and centrist Dems like Baucus under pressure from the base to follow along, it’s a cinch that the 2020 Democratic nominee will back Medicare for all, whoever he or she might be.
Which raises two questions. One: When will Barack Obama formally endorse single-payer? Right, right, I know — he already did years ago. But he didn’t as president. Despite his rhetoric about the “fierce urgency of now,” he was in the Baucus camp. What I’m asking is, when will he endorse replacing his own signature program with Medicare for all? That’s a knotty legacy problem for O insofar as he stands to lose no matter what he does. If he stands stubbornly with ObamaCare, he risks seeming out of touch on a core part of the left’s agenda and wedded to a subpar program for no better reason than that it bears his name. If he abandons ObamaCare, he all but admits that his own efforts as president to remake health insurance were subpar and too timid, eventually erased by loud-and-proud socialists like Sanders.
He’s going to need to abandon it sooner rather than later, though, as it’s unthinkable that Obama would allow himself to end up as a thorn in the left’s side as it gears up for a serious legislative push on this. (That’s another echo of gay marriage. O will “evolve” by publicly embracing an opinion he’s long held privately whether he’s ready to or not.) Presumably he’ll end up trying to square the circle by saying that ObamaCare was a necessary step towards the ultimate goal of single-payer. Which, ironically, would put him right in line with a criticism made repeatedly by conservatives when O-Care passed in 2010. We screamed endlessly that ObamaCare was ultimately just a trojan horse for Medicare for all, that it would encourage the public to view insurance as an entitlement and prepare the political ground for fully socialized medicine when O-Care itself inevitably ran into problems. And here we are. How’s that prediction looking in 2017?
The other question:
When do Schumer and Pelosi start leaning on Trump about single-payer? They can’t do it now, as Trump is still too wedded to the GOP and conservative support to make it feasible. But they also can’t wait too long, as their window for making deals with POTUS will close if and when Mueller produces something incriminating on Russiagate and the left begins to howl about impeachment. What they need is some confidence-building measures, as quickly as possible: If Schumer thinks there’s a chance of bringing Trump on board with single-payer, that would be worth funding the wall for him in exchange for a DREAM amnesty. It’d also be worth handing Trump some sort of win on tax reform. Show the president that working with Democrats not only will let him accomplish Big Things but will please the media to no end and you’ll have him set up for compromise on the biggest, most media-pleasing legislative initiative of ’em all. If Schumer hasn’t sounded out Trump on single-payer yet, he will soon.
Here’s red-state centrist Democrat Jon Tester sounding pretty sanguine about a government takeover of health care, which seems superficially surprising but really isn’t. It was never any secret what Dems really wanted out of insurance reform, and it sure as sh*t wasn’t subsidies for insurance companies.

UN adopts resolution on universal health coverage
GlobalPost
December 13, 2012 · 5:35 PM UTC

The United Nations General Assembly has passed a resolution to ask the world's nations to implement universal healthcare systems.

The United Nations General Assembly Wednesday voted in favor of a draft resolution that would support universal health coverage for people everywhere, and help those nations that require extra advice and financing meet their healthcare goals.
Healthcare for all is one of the UN's Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), a set of priorities agreed on by the countries of the world, as well as an acknowledged human right by its inclusion in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Wednesday's resolution was voted on by consensus in the General Assembly, and had uncommon broad support from a host of varied member states, including the US, the UK, Senegal, New Zealand and Brazil. It's a straightforward document, recognizing the need for universal coverage while accepting that some countries have completely different financing concerns than others, especially poorer countries without sustainable healthcare systems.
"There have been lots of discussions of what health goals should be, for example on non-communicable diseases. This resolution gives weight to health systems as a whole and questions of equity. It ensures that universal healthcare stays on the agenda as one of the post-MDG goals," said Oxfam health policy advisor Ceri Averill to the Guardian.
The World Health Organization estimates that 20 to 40 percent of all healthcare costs are wasted through inefficiencies and in a 2010 report [PDF] suggested a number of ways that countries could shift to systems of pooled risks. With this kind of system, insurance is affordable and available for all, and lower-income patients don't have to bankrupt themselves to seek immediate, emergency care, specifically in the cases of women and children.
"Abundant evidence shows that raising funds through required prepayment is the most efficient and equitable base for increasing population coverage," said WHO Director-General Margaret Chan. "In effect, such mechanisms mean that the rich subsidize the poor, and the healthy subsidize the sick. Experience shows this approach works best when prepayment comes from a large number of people, with subsequent pooling of funds to cover everyone’s health-care costs. No one in need of health care, whether curative or preventive, should risk financial ruin as a result."
That 2010 report, "Health System Financing: The Path to Universal Coverage," led more than 60 low- and medium-income countries to ask for advice and assistance with financing resource-pooling systems, according to a report by the Guardian earlier this week. In the intervening years, many of those countries, both rich and poor, have moved toward adopting universal care systems, and now nearly 40 percent of people on earth participate in some form of risk-pooled health insurance.
Even China, with a traditionally dismal healthcare system, is looking to invest in a $124 billion project that could ultimately insure 90 percent of the population, after years of failure on a massive scale. India has also mostly worked out the kinks in a program started in 2008 to get healthcare to those below the poverty line. In Thailand, 99 percent of the population is covered through an all-inclusive package. Brazil has had universal coverage for years, and while the government is slightly over-burdened by need, there are efforts afoot to make the system more affordable for the government, and reduce waste.
The UN resolution, while non-binding (meaning it really has no teeth for enforcement), will ultimately be useful for holding countries to a higher standard of healthcare and providing assistance to those nations that want to change, but don't have the resources.
Next, universal healthcare goes to the UN's development priorities list to be dealt with by the "high-level panel" on the MDGs, a task force co-chaired by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono of Indonesia, President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf of Liberia and Prime Minister David Cameron of the UK.

Calling for Ban on Electroshock of Children
At the annual convention of the American Psychiatric Association in Atlanta, Georgia, diverse organizations including the Nation of Islam, NAACP, Black Lives Matter, 10,000 Fearless Men and Concerned Black Clergy joined CCHR (Citizens Commission on Human Rights) in a demonstration to demand the ban of shock treatment on children.
Press Release - May 17, 2016
Atlanta, Georgia, May 17, 2016 (Newswire.com) - When the international mental health watchdog Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) took a stand at the annual convention of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) against the use of electroshock on children, it was joined by representatives of the NAACP, the Nation of Islam, 10,000 Fearless Men, Black Lives Matter and Concerned Black Clergy.
Electroconvulsive Therapy, otherwise known as ECT or electroshock treatment, is a technique invented in the 1930s that sends massive amounts of electricity into the brain to induce a seizure.
Protesters reported that bystanders were shocked to learn this practice is still common and stunned to learn that the APA is currently pressuring the Food and Drug Administration to reclassify ECT devices to include their use against children.[2]
"There are no indications for the use of ECT on minors, and hence this should be prohibited through legislation."World Health Organization
“You mean they still do that?” asked one of the security guards where the APA convention took place. “I thought that went out in the ‘40s.”
Not so, says Mental Health America, reporting that “ECT is administered to an estimated 100,000 people a year, primarily in general hospital psychiatric units and in psychiatric hospitals.”[3]
The FDA is aware of the danger of ECT. In fact, the FDA's Office of Device Evaluation, part of the Center for Devices and Radiological Health, issued a draft guidance in early 2016 recommending a “prominently placed” warning on ECT devices to include “The long-term safety and effectiveness of ECT treatment has not been demonstrated.”[4]
The same report lists effects known to be associated with ECT, ranging from:
The march was followed by a panel discussion on ECT, and a symposium the following day that presented such compelling information, the only question that remained was “Why on Earth would anyone in their right mind push to use this against children?”
One speaker, an ECT survivor who received 30 rounds of electroshock the year he was 21, doesn’t have a single memory of his high school years. He broke into tears while recounting “sitting there, and my father having to teach me how to tie my shoes again.”
“It is unconscionable to even consider doing this to a child,” said Dr. Linda Lagemann, a clinical psychologist, retired after 23 years in practice. “Someone’s getting rich and someone’s getting hurt. This really must be stopped.”
Atlanta native, Georgia State Senator Donzella James, spoke on the panel on the need for state legislation to ban the use of ECT on children. She said Georgia’s provisions to protect children and others from ECT are grossly insufficient. She cited a World Health Organization recommendation to governments that “There are no indications for the use of ECT on minors, and hence this should be prohibited through legislation.”[5]
Panel Member Rev. Fred Shaw commented on the unanimous, resounding and spontaneous support for Senator James’ proposal, and that this issue brings together this particular mix of people of every persuasion, religious affiliation and socioeconomic delineation, showing that when it comes to our children, we can find unity amongst diversity.
CCHR is a non-profit, non-political, non-religious mental health watchdog established in 1969 by the Church of Scientology and professor of psychiatry Dr. Thomas Szasz. Its mission is to eradicate abuses committed under the guise of mental health and enact patient and consumer protections. CCHR has helped to enact more than 150 laws protecting individuals from abusive or coercive mental health practices.

The World Health Organization is controlled by United Nations filled with global 1% extreme wealth neo-liberals with Bill Gates and his empire as one of those puppeteers. Bill Gates led in US corporations going overseas just to skirt our US standards of Rule of Law, of citizens' rights, and with his GLOBAL PHARMA AND MEDICAL DEVICE corporations skirted all of our US quality PATIENTS' BILL OF RIGHTS in medical research from CLINICAL TRIALS to FDA patenting oversight and accountability.
THERE IS NOTHING COMING FROM TODAY'S WORLD HEALTH/UNITED NATIONS LOOKING TO PROTECT GLOBAL 99% PATIENTS' RIGHTS ----DO NO HARM HIPPOCRATIC OATH.
For US citizens to know where MOVING FORWARD in universal health care-----global health tourism policies in US are going----we need again to check with UNITED NATIONS WORLD HEALTH---for whom our global Wall Street 1% CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA NOW TRUMP work.
It is very necessary with a global slave labor human capital distribution system to have an INTERNATIONAL LABOR ORGANIZATION universal health----as global labor pool is moved from one Foreign Economic Zone to another everywhere in the world---this standard simply encoded in IMPLANTED MICROCHIPS will have that medical history in preventative health care.
If global labor pool were simply sovereign citizens in their own nations needing to walk to a community hospital or clinic for all that quality of health care WE THE PEOPLE THE 99% have received in modern history ---none of these global health tourism structures would be necessary. It is the refusal to develop a quality health system in overseas Foreign Economic Zones that create this necessity of HEALTH TOURISM.
Global 1% do not intend on having a MIDDLE-CLASS in Foreign Economic Zones as we know it here in US----so 99% of global citizens would not be able to afford HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE allowing for access to real disease vector hospital and medical procedure care. So too MOVING FORWARD this will be true for our US 99%.
DACA in the US simply extended these global labor pool INTERNATIONAL LABOR ORGANIZATION structures inside US----and yes, our 5% to the 1% international labor union leaders are working for UN ILO-----

medical tourism?
•
Medical tourists elect
to
travel across international borders
to
receive
some form of medical
treatment
Treatments
may span the full range of medical
services
Most common: dental
care, cosmetic surgery, elective surgery, and
fertility treatment
–
OECD, 2010
•
No agreed definition
of medical tourism exist; as a
result methods
applied by countries vary
substantially
Some
countries count foreign patients’ visits to hospitals whereas others
count
the entry of individual patients into the country
Other countries record nationality but not place of residence of patients,
can be problematic when migrants return to home country for treatment

Notice our GLOBAL HEDGE FUND CORPORATION JOHNS HOPKINS educating as to how to BUNDLE PAYMENTS----they are of course the source of ROBBER BARON FLEECING OF AMERICA and global Wall Street's complex financial instrument bundling of fraud.
SELF-FUNDED MARKETPLACE----WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE THE GLOBAL LABOR POOL 99% NO LONGER RECEIVING MONEY?
'Johns Hopkins Aramco Healthcare (JHAH)
Effectively Deploying Bundled Payments in the Self-Funded Marketplace'
All of these global 2% characters whether male or female are not exceptional ----their families buy medical patents from our global hedge fund universities of products developed by the 99% -------
who then get next to nothing---you know--just like the DARK AGES.
This is for whom those OLD WORLD MERCHANT OF VENICE GLOBAL 1% freemasons/Greeks and their 5% hoping to have temporary patronage businesses are working---and it takes all our US Federal Trusts and the tens of trillions of dollars stolen from our US Treasury and builds global corporate health system businesses for those same global 1%.....

PLEASE STOP FIGHTING THAT OTHER 99% POPULATION GROUP----HOLD THOSE 5% TO THE 1% ROBBER BARON POLS AND PLAYERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR LOOTING OUR US TREASURY, PUBLIC TRUSTS, PEOPLE'S PENSIONS, 401Ks, HOME EQUITY-----WE STILL HAVE ALL THE WEALTH OUR FAMILIES NEED-----WE SIMPLY NEED TO STAND UP AND BRING IT BACK TO OUR COMMUNITIES.
When we here today's 5% pols and players pretend to be supporting what was our developed nation REAL left social progressive UNIVERSAL CARE-----MEDICARE FOR ALL-----they are really simply MOVING FORWARD what the UNITED NATIONS CALLS UNIVERSAL CARE/SINGLE PAYER. It is that refugee level of basic preventative care expanding into all developing nations with FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES-----and the US is being taken DOWN TO DEVELOPING NATION STATUS. This is MOVING FORWARD HEALTH CARE POLICY coming from far-right wing global Wall Street CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA---NOW TRUMP.
What makes this UNITED NATIONS/World Health universal is those global 1% extreme wealth citizens are building US quality health systems in their nations and extending basic refugee-level care to those global labor pool and their sovereign citizens where none existed before. It did not exist NOT BECAUSE THOSE GLOBAL 1% COULD NOT AFFORD IT-----it did not exist because global telemedicine making access to doctors over computer is replacing REAL LIVE access to doctors in the flesh.
Notice Bill Gates and his GLOBAL PHARMA AND MEDICAL DEVICE corporation touts this as grand----his Microsoft and his PHARMA are going to make him a trillionaire -----while access to REAL US quality health care for all DISAPPEARS for all global 99% AND US 99% black, white, and brown citizens.
UN adopts 'momentous' resolution on universal healthcare
General assembly urges countries to launch affordable healthcare systems that cover all their citizens

Global development is supported by
Thursday 13 December 2012 08.26 EST First published on Thursday 13 December 2012 08.26 EST
The UN's adoption of a resolution on affordable universal healthcare (pdf) was momentous, according to its advocates.
The resolution, adopted by consensus in the general assembly on Wednesday, urged member states to develop health systems that avoid significant direct payments at the point of delivery and to have a mechanism for pooling risks to avoid catastrophic healthcare spending and impoverishment.
There was unusually wide support for the resolution. It came from the global north and south, including the US, the UK, South Africa and Thailand. By gaining support from every corner of the globe, the resolution recognised enthusiasm for universal healthcare from diverse countries and economies, said the Rockefeller Foundation, which has funded research on universal health systems.
According to the foundation, 150 million people worldwide face high healthcare costs, which push around 25m households into poverty each year. More than 3 billion people have to pay for healthcare themselves, forcing many – particularly women and children – to choose between healthcare and education.
Ceri Averill, Oxfam's health policy adviser, said significant momentum around the vote had been building for the past two years, partly through the efforts of the World Health Organisation's director, Margaret Chan, and showed real public commitment to universal healthcare. "We can hold member states to account because of the resolution," she said.
For Averill and Jeanette Vega, managing director of Rockefeller, endorsement of the resolution means universal healthcare will now be on the agenda of the UN high-level panel – co-chaired by the UK prime minister, David Cameron, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia and President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono of Indonesia – discussing the post-2015 development goals.
"There have been lots of discussions of what health goals should be, for example on non-communicable diseases. This resolution gives weight to health systems as a whole and questions of equity. It ensures that universal healthcare stays on the agenda as one of the post-MDG goals," said Averill.
Supporting universal healthcare is one thing, funding it is another. As the UN delegate from Singapore, Lee Boon Beng, said: "The path to achieving universal health coverage is complex and there is no universal formula. Instead, member states should adopt different solutions to their unique circumstances."
Here the debate revolves on the use of highly contentious user fees, insurance or general taxation. For Averill the problem with user fees and insurance is that the poorest people will not be able to afford them. Citing Ghana, she said no matter how low the insurance premiums are set, these will be out of reach of the poorest people and contribute very little in terms of funding. Many Ghanaians work in the informal sector, for example as street vendors, which makes it difficult to collect premiums.
Thailand is held up as a pioneer in developing universal health coverage. The south-east Asian country introduced free universal healthcare at the point of delivery in 2002 and has shown the concept is not out of reach of middle-income countries. Around 99% of the Thai population is covered through a comprehensive healthcare package. It ranges from health prevention and primary care, to hospitalisation due to traffic accidents, to more expensive services such as radiotherapy and access to antiretroviral therapy treatment for people with HIV. Indonesia, the Philippines and China have rolled out insurance-based health coverage that includes almost their entire populations.
Poorer countries, however, will have to rely on external help to extend affordable healthcare. Zambia on Thursday said it has been steadily increasing spending on healthcare, which is treated as a fundamental human right, but will have to rely on foreign help. "External financing equally remains an important factor in Zambia's resource mobilisation," said the country's delegate, Dr Mwaba Kasese-Bota.
____________________________________________
This UNITED NATIONS/WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION universal care/single payer is what BOOKER is backing when he says he supports Bernie Sanders' MEDICARE FOR ALL. All global 1% OLD WORLD MERCHANTS OF VENICE FREEMASONS----whether Booker or Bernie Sanders----whether Elizabeth Warren or Jill Stein------whether Ellison or Turner------remember these are all far-right wing global 1% pols -----Booker/Kamela Harris, and Warren are raging CLINTON NEO-LIBERALS-----Stein, Sanders, Ellison, and Turner are THOSE SAME GLOBAL WALL STREET 1% PLAYER MORPHING TO FAR-RIGHT LIBERTARIAN MARXISM. These are all global 1% ONE WORLD ONE GOVERANCE UNITED NATIONS POLS-----and to see what they are pushing we have to go to WORLD HEALTH/WORLD BANK/IMF/ UNITED NATIONS-----there is absolutely no attention to WE THE PEOPLE THE 99% from these global Wall Street pols and players.
So, all developing nations tied to Foreign Economic Zones and embracing TRANS PACIFIC TRADE PACT will have the global health systems open for HEALTH TOURISM FOR THE GLOBAL 1% AND THEIR 2% ----while 99% of global labor pool----THAT WILL BE AMERICAN 99% AS WELL----will be tied to United Nations International Labor Organization 'universal care' ---preventative care only. WE WILL STILL PAY PAYROLL TAXES THAT WILL FUND FULL US QUALITY OF MEDICAL CARE ----it will simply go to global health systems as profit and that millions of dollars executive salary.
Booker signs on to Sanders's 'Medicare-for-all' bill
By Jordain Carney - 09/11/17 01:49 PM EDT
© Greg NashSen. Cory Booker is throwing his support behind a "Medicare for all" bill being introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), becoming the latest Democrat floated as a 2020 contender to back the legislation.
The New Jersey senator told NJTV News that he would sign on as a co-sponsor of the bill, which is scheduled to be rolled out on Wednesday.
"This is something that’s got to happen. ObamaCare was a first step in advancing this country, but I won’t rest until every American has a basic security that comes with having access to affordable health care," Booker told the New Jersey outlet.
He added that "you should not be punished because you are working-class or poor and be denied health care. I think health care should be a right to all."
Booker's office didn't immediately respond to a request for comment about his decision.
Sanders put his push for a single-payer healthcare system at the center of his 2016 presidential bid, and he has pledged for months that he would introduce legislation.
The idea is also gaining traction within the Democratic Party and is emerging as a litmus test for potential 2020 presidential candidates.
In addition to Booker, Democratic Sens. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) and Kamala Harris (Calif.) are supporting Sanders's legislation.
Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) also announced his support on Monday.
Booker had previously voiced some support for single-payer.
Asked on Twitter if he would support the government-run healthcare system, he said "there is great value if not justice In opening up Medicare to all" but Democrats should be focused on stopping the GOP effort to repeal and replace ObamaCare.
Despite growing support from the party's 2020 presidential crowd, Sanders's push for a single-payer system doesn't have unanimous support from the Senate Democratic caucus.
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said earlier this year that it should be one of the options on the table.
And four Democrats up for reelection in states won by President Trump, as well as Independent Sen. Angus King (Maine), voted against a recent single-payer amendment offered by GOP Sen. Steve Daines (Mont.).
Daines's amendment, which was expected to fail, was largely viewed as an attempt by Republicans to get Democrats to go on the record on the issue.
________________________________________
MAX BAUCUS was top gun in GANG OF RAGING NEO-LIBERALS and indeed he was the architect of Affordable Care Act-----as a global Wall Street 1% ACA was that right wing health structure deregulating and consolidating our public health system so it will operate like global Wall Street banks and investment firms. The ACA these several years created this two-tier structure =====the global health tourism and the global corporate university campus that is completely controlled as CORPORATE R AND D------including medical research and patenting. No cares about public health or welfare-----these are structures tied to MARKET PRICES THE GLOBAL RICH WILL PAY.
So, here is raging far-right global 1% BAUCUS as SCHUMER telling us ---well, now it may be time for a SINGLE-PAYER FOR THE 99% OF US CITIZENS. Single-payer/universal health care/Medicare for all -----all the same UNITED NATIONS WORLD HEALTH INTERNATIONAL LABOR ORGANIZATION global labor pool preventative care only.
THESE ARE THE FAKE ALT RIGHT ALT LEFT-------confusing US citizens wanting to be REAL right wing conservatives AND confusing US citizens wanting to be REAL left social progressive liberals----
WE CANNOT HAVE REAL EXPANDED AND IMPROVED MEDICARE FOR ALL IF AFFORDABLE CARE ACT DEREGULATION, PRIVATIZATION OF OUR FEDERAL MEDICARE, SS DISABILITY, MEDICAID, AND CONSOLIDATED HEALTH SYSTEM MONOPOLIES EXIST----WE MUST REVERSE ACA MOVING FORWARD.
Right wing Republicans are sitting back and laughing as 'fake Democrats' MOVE FORWARD far-right wing global Wall Street health policies. The only difference in UNITED NATIONS UNIVERSAL CARE and US right wing Republicans is----right wing Republicans do not want ANY PREVENTATIVE CARE----so, at this point American citizens are fighting only for global labor pool preventative care against a right wing NO HEALTH CARE AT ALL.
“The time has come”: ObamaCare architect Max Baucus endorses single-payer
AllahpunditPosted at 5:01 pm on September 10, 2017
It was just last month that Reason’s Peter Suderman sent the tweet below. Thirty-nine days later, Bernie Sanders is set to introduce a “Medicare for all” bill backed by big-name Dems like Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren while Republicans Lindsey Graham and Bill Cassidy are pushing a bill that would let individual states keep ObamaCare in place.
Actors union: Make it a crime to publish this accurate data about us
The future of health policy politics is Republicans defending something like Obamacare and Democrats pushing for something like single-payer
— Peter Suderman (@petersuderman) August 2, 2017
Why is it a big deal that Max Baucus has now come around as well?
Well, it’s not just that he was one of the architects of O-Care in 2009 as head of the Senate Finance Committee, making his “evolution” towards socialized medicine particularly noteworthy. It’s that Baucus was one of the bulwarks *against* single-payer in the Senate at the time. Leftists begged him to seize the moment eight years ago, when Democrats enjoyed a filibuster-proof majority, and push Medicare for all. No dice, he said. The country’s not ready for it. It won’t pass and Democrats might get wiped out in the midterms for even trying. In the end they got wiped out in the midterms anyway and large chunks of the country do now appear to be ready for it — including Republicans, so long as the small matter of cost isn’t emphasized.
“I just think the time has come,” Baucus told NBC News Friday, after stunning healthcare observers earlier in the day by seemingly coming around on single-payer at a public forum. “Back in ’09, we were not ready to address it. It would never have passed. Here we are nine years later, I think it’s time to hopefully have a very serious good faith look at it.”…
“I started out by saying everything is on the table,” Baucus recalled. “But I did make an exception and that was single-payer. I said, nope, we’re not going to put single-payer on the table. Why? In my judgement, America was just not there … It’s branded as socialistic by too many people.”…
Baucus compared the issue’s evolution to that of gay rights. “It’s anathema for a long time, and then suddenly — acceptance,” he said.
Yeah, although the issues are far afield from each other, I think there’s something to what he says about single-payer and gay marriage. The same goes for marijuana legalization. Subjects that for many years seemed like political third-rails are now suddenly safe to touch as public opinion rapidly “evolves.” The fact that young left-leaning adults are replacing older more conservative ones in the population helps explain why; look at any poll on gay marriage and legalizing weed and you’ll see how much movement there’s been over just the past 10 years. Wider cultural exposure for gays and marijuana use has made people more comfortable with both as well. In the case of single-payer, though, I wonder if attitudes have changed dramatically or if it’s more a matter of post-Reagan Washington having mistakenly assumed for years that the country is more conservative than it really is and wouldn’t consider it.
Remember this poll?
Wanting the feds to guarantee universal coverage isn’t the same as wanting the feds to be America’s only insurer but they’re related insofar as both show enthusiasm for a bigger role for Uncle Sam in the industry insurance. And there’s nothing new about that enthusiasm, as you can see: Americans were actually more likely to support a federal responsibility to guarantee coverage at the end of the Clinton era than they are now. The numbers shrank during the Obama era as Republicans revolted against O and left-wing designs on the insurance industry, but now that our guy is in charge instead of their guy and the country has seen firsthand that ObamaCare isn’t a panacea for problems with health insurance, the public’s ready for a second look at the feds wading in. With Sanders, Warren, and Harris all now publicly in favor of single-payer and centrist Dems like Baucus under pressure from the base to follow along, it’s a cinch that the 2020 Democratic nominee will back Medicare for all, whoever he or she might be.
Which raises two questions. One: When will Barack Obama formally endorse single-payer? Right, right, I know — he already did years ago. But he didn’t as president. Despite his rhetoric about the “fierce urgency of now,” he was in the Baucus camp. What I’m asking is, when will he endorse replacing his own signature program with Medicare for all? That’s a knotty legacy problem for O insofar as he stands to lose no matter what he does. If he stands stubbornly with ObamaCare, he risks seeming out of touch on a core part of the left’s agenda and wedded to a subpar program for no better reason than that it bears his name. If he abandons ObamaCare, he all but admits that his own efforts as president to remake health insurance were subpar and too timid, eventually erased by loud-and-proud socialists like Sanders.
He’s going to need to abandon it sooner rather than later, though, as it’s unthinkable that Obama would allow himself to end up as a thorn in the left’s side as it gears up for a serious legislative push on this. (That’s another echo of gay marriage. O will “evolve” by publicly embracing an opinion he’s long held privately whether he’s ready to or not.) Presumably he’ll end up trying to square the circle by saying that ObamaCare was a necessary step towards the ultimate goal of single-payer. Which, ironically, would put him right in line with a criticism made repeatedly by conservatives when O-Care passed in 2010. We screamed endlessly that ObamaCare was ultimately just a trojan horse for Medicare for all, that it would encourage the public to view insurance as an entitlement and prepare the political ground for fully socialized medicine when O-Care itself inevitably ran into problems. And here we are. How’s that prediction looking in 2017?
The other question:
When do Schumer and Pelosi start leaning on Trump about single-payer? They can’t do it now, as Trump is still too wedded to the GOP and conservative support to make it feasible. But they also can’t wait too long, as their window for making deals with POTUS will close if and when Mueller produces something incriminating on Russiagate and the left begins to howl about impeachment. What they need is some confidence-building measures, as quickly as possible: If Schumer thinks there’s a chance of bringing Trump on board with single-payer, that would be worth funding the wall for him in exchange for a DREAM amnesty. It’d also be worth handing Trump some sort of win on tax reform. Show the president that working with Democrats not only will let him accomplish Big Things but will please the media to no end and you’ll have him set up for compromise on the biggest, most media-pleasing legislative initiative of ’em all. If Schumer hasn’t sounded out Trump on single-payer yet, he will soon.
Here’s red-state centrist Democrat Jon Tester sounding pretty sanguine about a government takeover of health care, which seems superficially surprising but really isn’t. It was never any secret what Dems really wanted out of insurance reform, and it sure as sh*t wasn’t subsidies for insurance companies.

We hear lots of stories about weaponized weather controlling what are today simply CLIMATE CHANGE disasters-----what we have these few decades is a filling of our atmosphere with little satellites all tied to SMART CITIES AND ONE WORLD ONE ENERGY/TECHNOLOGY GRID. One of the goals for these global satellite systems is GLOBAL HEALTH SYSTEM TELEMEDICINE. The ACA created that top tier privatized and profit-driven health system ---now the lower-tiered global telemedicine will be that universal care for the 99% . BAUCUS in all his MEGALOMANIA says now is the time for SINGLE PAYER.
Below we see far-right wing Clinton neo-liberal media outlet SLATE which pretends to be LEFT SOCIAL PROGRESSIVE asking what is this Baucus and single-payer when SLATE knows this is not US strong quality health care for all but UNITED NATIONS REFUGEE GLOBAL LABOR POOL health coverage.
Max Baucus supports single-payer. WTF?
www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/09/08/max_baucus_supports_single_payer_wtf.html 3 days ago ... If the name "Max Baucus" rings a bell to you and you're not a political junkie or Montana resident, it's probably because he is the gentleman ...
“The time has come”: ObamaCare architect Max Baucus endorses single-payer
When our over 80% of REAL labor and justice citizens wanting to vote left social progressive to protect citizens rights, a strong middle-class, our developed nation quality of life keep allowing our elections to be rigged and fraudulent so only far-right wing global 1% pols and players win DEMOCRATIC ELECTIONS----this is what will happen in MOVING FORWARD.
UN adopts resolution on universal health coverage
GlobalPost

The United Nations General Assembly has passed a resolution to ask the world's nations to implement universal healthcare systems.

The United Nations General Assembly Wednesday voted in favor of a draft resolution that would support universal health coverage for people everywhere, and help those nations that require extra advice and financing meet their healthcare goals.
Healthcare for all is one of the UN's Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), a set of priorities agreed on by the countries of the world, as well as an acknowledged human right by its inclusion in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Wednesday's resolution was voted on by consensus in the General Assembly, and had uncommon broad support from a host of varied member states, including the US, the UK, Senegal, New Zealand and Brazil. It's a straightforward document, recognizing the need for universal coverage while accepting that some countries have completely different financing concerns than others, especially poorer countries without sustainable healthcare systems.
"There have been lots of discussions of what health goals should be, for example on non-communicable diseases. This resolution gives weight to health systems as a whole and questions of equity. It ensures that universal healthcare stays on the agenda as one of the post-MDG goals," said Oxfam health policy advisor Ceri Averill to the Guardian.
The World Health Organization estimates that 20 to 40 percent of all healthcare costs are wasted through inefficiencies and in a 2010 report [PDF] suggested a number of ways that countries could shift to systems of pooled risks. With this kind of system, insurance is affordable and available for all, and lower-income patients don't have to bankrupt themselves to seek immediate, emergency care, specifically in the cases of women and children.
"Abundant evidence shows that raising funds through required prepayment is the most efficient and equitable base for increasing population coverage," said WHO Director-General Margaret Chan. "In effect, such mechanisms mean that the rich subsidize the poor, and the healthy subsidize the sick. Experience shows this approach works best when prepayment comes from a large number of people, with subsequent pooling of funds to cover everyone’s health-care costs. No one in need of health care, whether curative or preventive, should risk financial ruin as a result."
That 2010 report, "Health System Financing: The Path to Universal Coverage," led more than 60 low- and medium-income countries to ask for advice and assistance with financing resource-pooling systems, according to a report by the Guardian earlier this week. In the intervening years, many of those countries, both rich and poor, have moved toward adopting universal care systems, and now nearly 40 percent of people on earth participate in some form of risk-pooled health insurance.
Even China, with a traditionally dismal healthcare system, is looking to invest in a $124 billion project that could ultimately insure 90 percent of the population, after years of failure on a massive scale. India has also mostly worked out the kinks in a program started in 2008 to get healthcare to those below the poverty line. In Thailand, 99 percent of the population is covered through an all-inclusive package. Brazil has had universal coverage for years, and while the government is slightly over-burdened by need, there are efforts afoot to make the system more affordable for the government, and reduce waste.
The UN resolution, while non-binding (meaning it really has no teeth for enforcement), will ultimately be useful for holding countries to a higher standard of healthcare and providing assistance to those nations that want to change, but don't have the resources.
Next, universal healthcare goes to the UN's development priorities list to be dealt with by the "high-level panel" on the MDGs, a task force co-chaired by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono of Indonesia, President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf of Liberia and Prime Minister David Cameron of the UK.
One more thing…

The concern ALL 99% OF GLOBAL CITIZENS and that includes WE THE PEOPLE THE US 99% should have about these global 1% DEEP STATE REALLY DEEP STATE far-right wing neo-liberal United Nations health policies is exactly what we are slowly seeing unfold in our US cities deemed Foreign Economic Zones-------our profit-driven and predatory global Wall STreet health systems are throwing DO NOT HARM AWAY---and MOVING FORWARD far-right, authoritarian medical procedures as control and/or harm.
WE KNOW THAT IS WHAT MOVING FORWARD WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION UNIVERSAL CARE WILL BECOME FOR OUR GLOBAL 99% AND YES, US 99% BLACK, WHITE, AND BROWN CITIZENS.
So, we watched as Obama and Clinton neo-liberals with the full support of BLACK CAUCUS passed all the Foreign Economic militarized policing and security policies tied to NDAA====filling our US cities with tasers-----pepper spray----rubber bullets. This was a PUBLIC HEALTH CRISES. The use of tasers by police has soared these few decades and KNOW WHAT----that is ELECTROSHOCK.
Global telemedicine for the 99% will NOT play out as a global 1% neo-liberal UNITED NATIONS pretends----they call this UNIVERSAL CARE GROUNDBREAKING for global health while all those developing nations tied to FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES have already developed systems of torture, control, and worker abuse using all these NEW PATENTED PHARMA AND MEDICAL DEVICES. Telemedicine would only be good as a COMPLEMENT to existing quality brick and mortar health care-----but that is not to where UNITED NATIONS UNIVERSAL/SINGLE PAYER HEALTH CARE FOR ALL is going. We will see more remote medicine neglecting actual health care-----remote microchip implants doing GREAT HARM---then we will see helping our global labor pool 99% and WE THE PEOPLE THE US 99%.
All we see here are UNITED NATIONS GLOBAL 1% fake ALT FIGHT ALT LEFT groups-----why are they not marching against ACA -----DACA------and a dismantling of strong, quality health care for US citizens having PREPAID MEDICAL SAVINGS ACCOUNTS as do US immigrants paying PAYROLL TAXES.
We need our US 99% of citizens MARCHING FOR REAL GORILLA IN THE ROOM issues ----as too our 99% immigrants---if we keep allowing those GLOBAL 1% FREEMASON/GREEK 5% player groups lead on protests---we will not STOP MOVING FORWARD ONE WORLD ONE GOVERNANCE US CITIES DEEMED FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES.
Calling for Ban on Electroshock of Children
At the annual convention of the American Psychiatric Association in Atlanta, Georgia, diverse organizations including the Nation of Islam, NAACP, Black Lives Matter, 10,000 Fearless Men and Concerned Black Clergy joined CCHR (Citizens Commission on Human Rights) in a demonstration to demand the ban of shock treatment on children.
Press Release - May 17, 2016
Atlanta, Georgia, May 17, 2016 (Newswire.com) - When the international mental health watchdog Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) took a stand at the annual convention of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) against the use of electroshock on children, it was joined by representatives of the NAACP, the Nation of Islam, 10,000 Fearless Men, Black Lives Matter and Concerned Black Clergy.
Electroconvulsive Therapy, otherwise known as ECT or electroshock treatment, is a technique invented in the 1930s that sends massive amounts of electricity into the brain to induce a seizure.
Protesters reported that bystanders were shocked to learn this practice is still common and stunned to learn that the APA is currently pressuring the Food and Drug Administration to reclassify ECT devices to include their use against children.[2]
"There are no indications for the use of ECT on minors, and hence this should be prohibited through legislation."World Health Organization
“You mean they still do that?” asked one of the security guards where the APA convention took place. “I thought that went out in the ‘40s.”
Not so, says Mental Health America, reporting that “ECT is administered to an estimated 100,000 people a year, primarily in general hospital psychiatric units and in psychiatric hospitals.”[3]
The FDA is aware of the danger of ECT. In fact, the FDA's Office of Device Evaluation, part of the Center for Devices and Radiological Health, issued a draft guidance in early 2016 recommending a “prominently placed” warning on ECT devices to include “The long-term safety and effectiveness of ECT treatment has not been demonstrated.”[4]
The same report lists effects known to be associated with ECT, ranging from:
- Long-term problems with "autobiographical memory" (knowledge about one's own life)
- Pain and skin burns
- Insufficient, or lack of breathing
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Death
The march was followed by a panel discussion on ECT, and a symposium the following day that presented such compelling information, the only question that remained was “Why on Earth would anyone in their right mind push to use this against children?”
One speaker, an ECT survivor who received 30 rounds of electroshock the year he was 21, doesn’t have a single memory of his high school years. He broke into tears while recounting “sitting there, and my father having to teach me how to tie my shoes again.”
“It is unconscionable to even consider doing this to a child,” said Dr. Linda Lagemann, a clinical psychologist, retired after 23 years in practice. “Someone’s getting rich and someone’s getting hurt. This really must be stopped.”
Atlanta native, Georgia State Senator Donzella James, spoke on the panel on the need for state legislation to ban the use of ECT on children. She said Georgia’s provisions to protect children and others from ECT are grossly insufficient. She cited a World Health Organization recommendation to governments that “There are no indications for the use of ECT on minors, and hence this should be prohibited through legislation.”[5]
Panel Member Rev. Fred Shaw commented on the unanimous, resounding and spontaneous support for Senator James’ proposal, and that this issue brings together this particular mix of people of every persuasion, religious affiliation and socioeconomic delineation, showing that when it comes to our children, we can find unity amongst diversity.
CCHR is a non-profit, non-political, non-religious mental health watchdog established in 1969 by the Church of Scientology and professor of psychiatry Dr. Thomas Szasz. Its mission is to eradicate abuses committed under the guise of mental health and enact patient and consumer protections. CCHR has helped to enact more than 150 laws protecting individuals from abusive or coercive mental health practices.
____________________________________________
The World Health Organization is controlled by United Nations filled with global 1% extreme wealth neo-liberals with Bill Gates and his empire as one of those puppeteers. Bill Gates led in US corporations going overseas just to skirt our US standards of Rule of Law, of citizens' rights, and with his GLOBAL PHARMA AND MEDICAL DEVICE corporations skirted all of our US quality PATIENTS' BILL OF RIGHTS in medical research from CLINICAL TRIALS to FDA patenting oversight and accountability.
THERE IS NOTHING COMING FROM TODAY'S WORLD HEALTH/UNITED NATIONS LOOKING TO PROTECT GLOBAL 99% PATIENTS' RIGHTS ----DO NO HARM HIPPOCRATIC OATH.
For US citizens to know where MOVING FORWARD in universal health care-----global health tourism policies in US are going----we need again to check with UNITED NATIONS WORLD HEALTH---for whom our global Wall Street 1% CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA NOW TRUMP work.
It is very necessary with a global slave labor human capital distribution system to have an INTERNATIONAL LABOR ORGANIZATION universal health----as global labor pool is moved from one Foreign Economic Zone to another everywhere in the world---this standard simply encoded in IMPLANTED MICROCHIPS will have that medical history in preventative health care.
If global labor pool were simply sovereign citizens in their own nations needing to walk to a community hospital or clinic for all that quality of health care WE THE PEOPLE THE 99% have received in modern history ---none of these global health tourism structures would be necessary. It is the refusal to develop a quality health system in overseas Foreign Economic Zones that create this necessity of HEALTH TOURISM.
Global 1% do not intend on having a MIDDLE-CLASS in Foreign Economic Zones as we know it here in US----so 99% of global citizens would not be able to afford HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE allowing for access to real disease vector hospital and medical procedure care. So too MOVING FORWARD this will be true for our US 99%.
DACA in the US simply extended these global labor pool INTERNATIONAL LABOR ORGANIZATION structures inside US----and yes, our 5% to the 1% international labor union leaders are working for UN ILO-----

What is
medical tourism?
•
Medical tourists elect
to
travel across international borders
to
receive
some form of medical
treatment
Treatments
may span the full range of medical
services
Most common: dental
care, cosmetic surgery, elective surgery, and
fertility treatment
–
OECD, 2010
•
No agreed definition
of medical tourism exist; as a
result methods
applied by countries vary
substantially
Some
countries count foreign patients’ visits to hospitals whereas others
count
the entry of individual patients into the country
Other countries record nationality but not place of residence of patients,
can be problematic when migrants return to home country for treatment
–
WHO, 2011

Below we see for whom global Wall Street 1% CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA NOW TRUMP and those 5% players are working regarding US HEALTH CARE POLICY. So, when a Bernie Sanders, Jill Stein, Elizabeth Warren, Gabbard, Turner, Ellison, all those FAKE ALT LEFT pols AND a Baucus, Booker, Schumer PRETEND it's time for SINGLE-PAYER, UNIVERSAL CARE, MEDICARE FOR ALL------in US------they all are MOVING FORWARD this global United Nations World Health Organization International Labor Organization UNIVERSAL CARE AS PREVENTATIVE CARE FOR 99% and quality US health care for those global 1% and their 2%.
All of these citizens listed below are those global 1% and their 2% with all the global health system/health tourism corporations already in place---so the few million being thrown at our local 5% players for small health care businesses are again the same PATRONAGE FOR 5% PLAYERS that will last only a decade as MOVING FORWARD installs these global health systems for existing health industry corporations.
Notice our GLOBAL HEDGE FUND CORPORATION JOHNS HOPKINS educating as to how to BUNDLE PAYMENTS----they are of course the source of ROBBER BARON FLEECING OF AMERICA and global Wall Street's complex financial instrument bundling of fraud.
SELF-FUNDED MARKETPLACE----WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE THE GLOBAL LABOR POOL 99% NO LONGER RECEIVING MONEY?
'Johns Hopkins Aramco Healthcare (JHAH)
Effectively Deploying Bundled Payments in the Self-Funded Marketplace'
All of these global 2% characters whether male or female are not exceptional ----their families buy medical patents from our global hedge fund universities of products developed by the 99% -------
who then get next to nothing---you know--just like the DARK AGES.
This is for whom those OLD WORLD MERCHANT OF VENICE GLOBAL 1% freemasons/Greeks and their 5% hoping to have temporary patronage businesses are working---and it takes all our US Federal Trusts and the tens of trillions of dollars stolen from our US Treasury and builds global corporate health system businesses for those same global 1%.....
