Leaked Memo Shows Obama was Warned in May 2010 that Obamacare Implementation Would Fail A May 11, 2010 memo to Larry Summers, Obamas head of the National Economic Council, warned that the White House and Department of Health and Human Services teams were not capable of implementing a national health care plan. But, the Washington Post concludes in a lengthy investigative report, that Obama decided to ignore the advice that top business experts were needed to oversee implementation, and instead entrusted the whole project to a series of political operatives, starting with Nancy Anne DeParle, Obamas health reform czar, who oversaw the writing of the legislation. The Washington Post obtained a copy of the memo from Dr. David Cutler, a Harvard professor, who was a trusted adviser to the White House on planning Obamacare. Cutler wrote: I am writing to relay my concern about the way the Administration is implementing the new health reform legislation. I am concerned that the personnel and processes you have in place are not up to the task, and that health reform will be unsuccessful as a result. He also said that he wrote the memo at the urging of members of the Obama administration who, like other health care experts, all agreed that urgent action was already needed in May 2010 to prevent a disaster in implementing a national health care system. The Post story is hardly believable in saying that Summers, along with Peter Orzag, then head of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and Nazi doctor Ezekiel Emanuel (brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel) all agreed with Cutler but were not strong enough to counter the influence of Nancy DeParle and other Obama advisers in getting the implementation of the exchanges turned over to business experts. DeParle has her own Nazi policy credentials, as LPAC has been documenting since 2009. She is an expert in denying medical treatment through austerity measures, and was a director of the Cerner Corporation, one of the leading electronic medical records companies. While DeParle was with Cerner, it implemented a pilot program in Cook County, Illinois, covering indigent patients. Under the Cerner program, doctors, pharmacy workers, and others are given bonuses for cost-cutting and denying care and medication to these poor patients. One leading physician in the program reportedly got $400,000 in bonuses in 2008. Another memo in the Washington Post report, from the IT contract firm CGI Federal in August 2013, shows that the software for the exchange website and other implementation work was only 55% complete. Yet no corrections were made either in the implementation of the plan or in the date of the public roll-out of the exchanges. Questions are now being asked about whether the delays in giving people access to health insurance are just another part of the Obama scheme for killing off the American people. larouchepac/node/28765
