‘This is hypocrisy’: Sanjay Gupta on the federal medical marijuana patent

Posted on by

“CNN contributor Dr. Sanjay Gupta followed up on his reversal of course regarding medical marijuana in an interview with Anderson Cooper on Tuesday by slamming federal policy regarding medical marijuana. ‘The U.S. holds a patent [on marijuana] on one hand, and on the other hand, same government says it has no medical applications,’ Gupta told Cooper. ‘Journalists are trained to hate hypocrisy. This is hypocrisy. I’ve never seen it quite like this.’ The Department of Health and Human Services, Gupta explained, holds a patent on medical marijuana as ‘a protectant for the brain’, giving voice to an argument made by medical marijuana proponents.”

Dental Abuse Seen Driven by Private Equity Investments [2012]

Posted on by

“Isaac Gagnon stepped off the school bus sobbing last October and opened his mouth to show his mother where it hurt. A dentist’s statement in his backpack showed he had received two pulpotomies, or baby root canals, along with the crowns and 10 X-rays — all while he was at school. ‘I was absolutely horrified,’ said Gagnon.’I never gave them permission to drill into my son’s mouth. They did it for profit.’  [Dental management-services companies like ReachOut] have been riding a boom in Medicaid outlays on dentistry, which rose 63 percent to $7.4 billion between 2007 and 2010, outstripping the 4.9 percent growth in other dental spending.”

Why You Should Take Your “Health” Into Your Own Hands

Posted on by

“Cost-shifting takes place in the form of two insidious scams, patiently described to us by Dr. G. Keith Smith, an Oklahoma City MD who’s doing his level best to undermine the practice. The first scam is called ‘uncompensated care.’ The second scam involves the insurance scheme known as preferred provider organizations, and is called ‘PPO re-pricing.’ What is the actual cost of that ‘$100,000’ procedure? About $7,000-8,000. For everything. Including the facility, surgeon and anesthesia charges. That’s what Smith would charge you at his outpatient surgery center in Oklahoma City… a lone outpost of ‘price transparency’ within U.S. borders.”

Worried About Obamacare? The Government’s “Federal Data Hub” Is Here to Help

Posted on by

“The federal government has conveniently used your tax money to hire ‘patient navigators’ to help you understand… and enroll you in the program.  These otherwise unassuming civil servants will help you learn about the act, navigate its complexities, and select the benefits that fit your criteria.  They will also have access to your personal information. All of it.  The hub will ‘bring together information about you and your family from the Treasury Department and IRS, the Department of Homeland Security [and] the Department of Justice.’  Navigators will have access to your Social Security number and tax returns.”

Judge Upholds Suit Against Feds Who Arrested Former Marine For Facebook Posts

Judge Upholds Suit Against Feds Who Arrested Former Marine For Facebook Posts

“On August 16, 2012, Raub was visited by local police, FBI agents and Secret Service personnel who questioned him about his Facebook posts. Raub was cooperative and discussed his activity with the officers, despite their not having a warrant. At some point, one of the agents made a call to Michael Campbell, a psychotherapist retained by the county who decided, despite having never met or observed Raub, that the former Marine was ‘potentially dangerous’ and should be detained. At that point, the collected officers cuffed Raub and took him to the local jail before having him committed to the mental hospital.”

The Myth of the Free-Market American Health Care System [2012]

Posted on by

“In 2009, according to these statistics, which come mostly from the OECD, U.S. government entities spent $3,795 per person on health care, compared to $3,100 per person in France. Note that these stats are for government expenditures; they exclude private-sector health spending. If anything, the U.S. figures understate government health spending, because they exclude the $300 billion a year we ‘spend’ through the tax code by making the purchase of employer-sponsored health insurance tax-exempt. So: if we measure by the dollar amount of government involvement in health spending, the French system is actually meaningfully freer.”

Cristina Fernandez wants you to have an erection

Posted on by

“I’ve long written that desperate governments try to ‘control’ everything as they slide into insolvency. They impose capital controls, exchange controls, wage and price controls, gun controls, border controls, and more. But the government of Argentina has really taken this to another level. Their latest stunt? Manufacturing Viagra at a state-owned pharmaceuticals company… and giving it out for free to the people.”

State Of Mind: The Psychology of Control

State Of Mind: The Psychology of Control

“Are we controlled?  To what extent and by whom?  What does it mean for humanity’s future?  From cradle to grave our parents, peers, institutions and society inform our values and behaviors but this process has been hijacked. State Of Mind examines the science of control that has evolved over generations to keep us firmly in place so that dictators, power brokers and corporate puppeteers may profit from our ignorance and slavery. From the anvil of compulsory schooling to media and entertainment, we are kept in perpetual bondage to the ideas that shape our actions.”

6-year-old Colorado girl in national spotlight over medical marijuana

Posted on by

“Charlotte Figi suffers from a rare form of epilepsy called Dravet Syndrome. She’s endured violent seizures since she was a newborn. Most weeks, she’d have about 300 seizures a week. After countless emergency room visits, trips to specialists and children’s hospitals, and more than a dozen pharmaceuticals, nothing worked. Then, a year-and-a-half ago, as a last resort, her mom tried cannabis oil. The medical marijuana worked immediately. ‘It’s potent, it’s strong, it’s spicy, it’s got some kick,’ her mother, Paige Figi, told FOX31 Denver as she showed us a syringe full of the cannabis oil. It’s diluted with olive oil, and mixed with food.”

Video Shows Pembroke Pines Cop Punching Mentally Ill Girl

Posted on by

“The public defenders uncovered what they’re calling systematic use of physical and chemical force to restrain patients at the Pembroke Pines Facility.  They said their investigation revealed kids are routinely tied hand and foot to their beds and administered drugs to knock them out. Weekes said his office conducted five, separate interviews with clients at the facility, all of whom said they had essentially been hogtied and injected – knocked unconscious. Dr. Michael Jochananov, the facility’s director, declined to speak with CBS4′s Gary Nelson at the center Thursday.”
