Marcel Zaremba – HHS Secretary on Obomacare – A Novel Character

      Dr. Marcel Zaremba thought to himself, “I am really not a nice guy.”  Even as he thought it, a way of pride and satisfaction ran through him.  It was because he was not a nice guy that he had become the HHS Secretary.  Not being nice has started when he was a child.  He had found that being really mean had often gotten his way.  Had people been aware of it at the time he would have been the poster child for the anti-bullying crowd.  He remembered one boy.  After the boy failed to give him his lunch on day, he had buried 10 Dulcolax make you go uncontrollably pills in the kid’s lunch.  The boy did not return to school for a week.   He made it known that he had caused the boys sickness.  He got the respect he deserved from that kid after that.

    He loved his job and the control it provided over the social and healthcare systems in the United States.  A list of the HHS priorities offered on its web site provides some concept of the scope of HHS power.  Included are initiatives to: manage Obamacare, prevent the flu, raise healthier kids, stop Medicare fraud, support Military families, stop Bullying, control food safety, and to fight Aids/HIV.  The scope is breath taking.  Given that scope, HHS had almost no limits on how much it could affect change.  Dr. Zaremba knew and fully appreciated that fact. 

    The last secretary of HHS has been involved in some not so secret affairs with women who could be painted as agents of other countries.  It had not mattered that these women were nothing more than bimbos who catered to guys in power.  The prior secretary really did not care about the scandal aspect or that he was married. That information was not enough to dislodge him from his position. A word or two to the FBI and some suggestion of treason resulted in his untimely death.

    Each time a Secretary  had died, resigned or left as the administration changed it had moved him closer to the ultimate power seat. This last time moved him into the big chair.    It has taken forever for Sibelius to get drummed out because of Obamacare.  He had thought that Obama would have gotten rid of her sooner, but by waiting he had managed to create the perfect scapegoat while the true goals of the system were being implemented in the background.  

    Now, as Secretary he had a full view of the landscape.  One of the many views that he held was that society would be far better off with fewer people of less than average intelligence.  His eugenics background came from a family history where his father and grandfather were avid eugenicists.  He did not believe it was a race thing, though impaired people might be more prevalent in some racial groups.  He had concluded that those who lacked the ability to take care of themselves were the inferior ones.  Those on government benefits and disability were clearly unsuited to reproduce.  Unlike his father, hampered by the  legacy of the Nazi’s, he was in a position to implement effective policies.   It was the HHS agency who got to take care of those who needed government assistance.  ” How fortunate is that?” he thought.

Letter to Jeff Sessions

Senator Sessions,

You can’t keep your group healthcare plan if the premium portion the employee pays goes through the roof. I am a heart patient and because of rate increases I will most likely lose the coverage I am happy with in two weeks. I don’t qualify for subsidies but cant afford more than I am already paying per month for my family. What right does government have in destroying a system that worked for the vast majority of Americans. President Obama lies to the American public and boldly states he will not uphold the laws of the United States, a clear violation of his Oath and not one Congressman or Senator truly works to bring articles of impeachment. The changes in the health insurance market place may kill me sooner than I would die otherwise. Many others have been put in more immediate jeopardy. The effort Congress and the Senate have put toward stopping this carnage is pathetic.

As much as I like so much of what you do, in this area, every member of both houses is responsible.

Government Lies – An Impotent Press

Ever since there was a government, governments have lied to their people.   I am sure that Vespasian told his people that the Roman Coliseum would be built it one year and only cost 200,000 Denarii’s.  (just a guess).   The fact that he knew it would most likely take 10 years and 1 million Denarii’s was never challenged by the Roman Press.  With an emperor, should the press dare challenge his word, it only happened one time.  We can find comfort in two places; that we will not be executed for exposing a government lie (most likely), and that our government almost 2000 years later, is still lying. 

The question is not whether government lies, but whether the press and the populace will hold that government accountable.  In the past few years the American press has not held government accountable.  The constitution guarantees a freedom of the press.  If the press never challenges the party line then it both is not free and does not need constitutional protection.  Every time the press fails to uphold the constitution and their responsibility they tacitly approve of the government’s behavior and they lose credibility.  That loss of credibility becomes impotence.  In time they will have no power, and no influence and those that dare to speak up will be persecuted.  Below are some examples.

When the President said, “If you like your like your insurance you can keep it.” 

            Where was the press?

  When border agents are killed with guns provide to the drug dealers by our federal government:

            Where was the press?

When IRS agents are caught persecuting the political enemies of the democrats:

            Where is the press?

These three scandals are still going on yet the press does not step up and investigate nor do they shout from the rooftops that our government can’t be trusted.  All three of the above issues violate the protections provided by the constitution for an individual to have a right to their life, liberty or pursuit of happiness.   A dead border agent loses his life because the federal government wants to make owning guns look bad. (Not to mention what a warped idea that was.)  His rights are violated and the press just lets that fact slip by. When it becomes one of their lives it will be too late for them to stand up. 

The destructions of people’s health insurance plans could have been predicted and prevented had the press done its job.  Some of these folks have lost their coverage after believing the lies told.  Nevertheless, the plan that stole their health security is still in place.  If the press did their job then that wrong would have been made right.   Next are death panels.  By then the press will be completely powerless to stop the wrongs.

The IRS pursued non-profits with conservative political views. The press continues to let the IRS do this as no one has been held accountable for this.  Of course, that is just a start, OSHA, and the ATF have also been used to threaten and investigate those with conservative views.  Perhaps the press thinks its ok when it is the Tea Party, but in 6 months when investigations are turned on those who don’t like NSA spying, what will they do.  In time anyone who disagrees with the government will be subject to unjustified investigation and persecution.  By not standing up for the principles of truth and by not holding up parts of the constitution the press is sewing its own destruction.

An impotent press, a cowardly press does not need freedom of the press.  The more the press sides unquestioningly with the government the less freedom we all have.  In the long run, there won’t be any press, only propaganda.  We are largely there now.  It is a shame.  Perhaps reporters should register with the government and we can use the constitution as a fish wrapper.  Our government already does that.
