Apparently, according to the Zionist mafia media, Bernie Madoff is responsible for Massachusetts' Universal Health Care!! WHO KNEW?
"Hospital braces for $20m loss this year; Beth Israel looks to cut personnel costs" by Jeffrey Krasner, Globe Staff | March 6, 2009
.... The cutbacks at Beth Israel Deaconess come as hospitals across the nation face severe budget shortfalls. Many are seeing fewer patients as more people become unemployed and lose employer-paid health insurance or can't afford copayments for treatment. Others have put off elective surgery and other optional treatment to save money.

In addition, many hospitals depend on charitable donations from wealthy philanthropists, as well as income from investments.

Between the Bernard Madoff scandal and the plunge in the stock market, much of that income has evaporated for many institutions. Many Boston hospitals also hold annual fund-raising activities in Palm Beach, Fla., where numerous residents have been affected by the Madoff scandal.... --more--"
Yup, the JEWISH LOOTER took care of us all!!! This type of "journalism" is making me sick!
Oh, and speaking about the "INVESTIGATION":
Securities regulators yesterday outlined two new programs to handle tips about wrongdoing, following US officials failure to heed warnings from a Boston investment firm employee about Bernard Madoff.
Yup, even though the U.S. Government Knew About Madoff Scheme Since 1960
Madoff now stands accused of running a Ponzi scheme.
Yup, the JEWISH LOOTER "stands accused," according to the criminal Zionist Globe -- even though HE CONFESSED!!!
Of course, that's just a SMALL THING, right? The PAPERS WOULD NEVER LIE about BIGGER THINGS like WARS, right?
The Securities and Exchange Commission said it would pay up to $450,000 to a unit of MITRE Corp., a government contractor in Bedford, to review its procedures for evaluating tips, complaints, and referrals. The SEC gets hundreds of thousands of complaints via e-mail, phone calls, letters, and other means to its headquarters and 11 regional offices.
Pffft!
The review will scrutinize the agency's process for receiving, tracking, and analyzing complaints to improve its overall response. Also yesterday, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, an industry group in Washington, said it has created an Office of the Whistleblower to speed reviews of what it called high-risk tips.

Cohmad Securities Corp., a firm facing the loss of its securities registration because of ties to Bernard Madoff, is asking for more details on what the state feels it has done wrong.
"The Massachusetts Securities Division's allegations and counts are so vague and ambiguous that Cohmad cannot frame a reasonable, informed response," Cohmad said in a motion filed Wednesday. Secretary of State William Galvin called the firm a "feeder fund" for Madoff, a money manager accused of bilking clients in what authorities say he described as a $50 billion Ponzi scheme.
Galvin filed an administrative complaint in February, asking regulators to revoke Cohmad's securities registration for failing to provide information about its relationship with Madoff, who was a co-owner.
And CO-PARTNER in CRIME!!!
The complaint also seeks an accounting of all Massachusetts investors Cohmad referred to Madoff's company and all fees earned. The motion stated the complaint follows a pattern of not explaining how Cohmad's activities violated "very broad provisions."

"Proteon raises $38m in finance round" by Chris Reidy, Globe Staff | March 6, 2009
WASHINGTON - President Obama yesterday presented his goal of fixing the healthcare system as a political imperative, as well as a moral and economic one: Americans, he said, will no longer stand for soaring costs that have bankrupted millions of families, hobbled businesses, and crowded out other public needs.
At a White House summit, Obama acknowledged that providing quality, affordable healthcare for everyone has eluded politicians for decades. But he described a kind of popular uprising, citing heart-wrenching letters he received from the public, painful stories he heard on the campaign trail, and comments, condensed into a glossy 120-page report, from more than 30,000 people who attended community meetings late last year. With such swelling demand for Washington to act, he said, "entrenched interests" can no longer stand in the way.
Umm, YEAH, a GUY PUT OUT a MOVIE ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, 'bamer, WAY BEFORE YOUR SHIT-SHOVELING TONGUE started LECTURING US!!!!
So you got a SINGLE-PAYER PLAN READY TO GO, right?
The president, in opening the gathering:
"This time, the call for reform is coming from the bottom up, and from all across the spectrum - from doctors, from nurses, from patients; from unions, from businesses; from hospitals, healthcare providers, community groups. This time, there is no debate about whether all Americans should have quality, affordable healthcare - the only question is, how?"
Why does he have to lie?
The only reason they are doing this is because the ENTRENCHED INTERESTS are FOR IT and are going to PROFIT FROM IT!!!!
WE -- the AMERICAN PEOPLE -- have wanted UNIVERSAL and SINGLE-PAYER COVERAGE since 1948 when TRUMAN INTRODUCED IT!!!
Though he repeatedly emphasized the need to compromise, Obama said he would not stand for a stalemate, which he said threatens the "very foundation of our economy. Those who seek to block any reform at all . . . will not prevail this time around."
Of course, the UNLIMITED MILITARY EMPIRE and the TRILLIONS LOST to the BANK LOOTERS aren't a concern. ONLY SOCIAL PROGRAMS that AMERICA WANTS are SUBJECT to the AXES of OBAMA!!!!

"If we don't address costs, I don't care how heartfelt our efforts are, we will not get this done," he said. "We'll run out of money. The federal government will be bankrupt."
Umm, YOU ALREADY ARE BANKRUPT, 'bamer, and you are BORROWING EVEN MORE? How about ENDING the WARS, huh?
The healthcare system now costs about $2.5 trillion a year....
And that is to PAD CORPORATE PROFITS -- otherwise, the CARE in this country wouldn't STINK!!!!!!!
His summit drew about 150 lawmakers and representatives of healthcare advocacy and industry groups; after the president's opening remarks, they broke into small groups to discuss approaches to changing the expensive and extraordinarily complex system....
It's NOT THAT COMPLICATED!! Just ASK CANADA, BRITAIN, or FRANCE!!!
The diversity of participants - who included groups that favor a Canadian-style Medicare-for-all system as well as insurance industry and business groups - and the open discussion were markedly different from the atmosphere in 1993-'94, the last time a serious attempt to change healthcare was made, when the Clinton White House wrote a huge bill behind closed doors and many industry groups felt shut out of the process.
First of all, IT IS NOT a MEDICARE-for-ALL system!! There is NO PAYMENTS to be MADE to INSURERS, a**holes!!! I am SICK of the MSM LIES, DISTORTIONS, MISREPRESENTATIONS, and OMISSIONS!!!
Yeah, and WOE that "INDUSTRY" -- should HEALTH be an "industry," people? -- felt shut out!!! So HOW DID IT FEEL being like the PUBLIC, a**holes!!!
"What struck me is how committed everyone is to actually working together and getting this done," Karen Ignagni, president and CEO of America's Health Insurance Plans, the largest health insurance lobby, said after the summit. "And that is a very, very different attitude than existed 15 years ago."
That's why I OPPOSE IT!! ANYTHING that is being ADVANCED by the OBFUSCATING and OMITTING, AGENDA-PUSHING PRESS is INSTANTLY SUSPECT!!!
Oh, btw, NO MORE MENTION of a SINGLE-PAYER PLAN, either -- not even a misrepresentative and distorted one!!!
Although Obama made it clear his administration will set parameters for acceptable policy, he indicated he expects Congress to handle the initial writing of the bill. That effort is well underway in hearings and private meetings among senior senators and with lobbyists.... --more--"
Then I DON'T WANT WHATEVER IT IS because the SAME LOBBYINGLOOTERS are going to be WRITING the BILL in SECRET!!!!!
This is CHANGE?
Get RID off HMOs and the LOOTING INSURERS and THEN WE'LL TALK!!!!!
Now watch Sicko and tell me why that can't be done here.
