In 2005 while visiting my Dad in Ohio I had the honor to meet"Joesf" At the age of 17 "Joesf" saw his family dragged away by the Nazis and he himself was sent to the consintration camp of Bergen-Belsen.When he told me his story I practically broke down and cryed because I have read stories of the Holocaust and this was my first-ever-hearing a true story from an acual survivor of that horror. Many still ask:"how can a thing like this happen"?How can a sociaty do such a thing? What can be done to prevent such a thing repeating itself? What happened in Germany did not happen overnight. The idea of building a "master race" started out small then grew untill the monster of Socialist Nazi Germany exterminated over 6 million. It was not just the Jews--it was the mentaly challenged, the handicapped, and the elderly. Many were "put away" because they were simply"a burden". Now Iwill get to where I am going with this. Just signed into law with this so called "stimulus "bill is the creation of The national coordinator of health information technology. You guessed it- now a government official will now monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost-effective. Just imagine a government official deciding who gets health care. An elderly loved one who may need an operation to save thir life and a government official saying "no" it not " cost-effective" Or this person is now "a burden" Or we may hear this saying--"they are going to die anyway" Heaven help us that this is happening in America> After Roe vs wade many were asking where it would lead--I guess we are now finding that out.
