This Amazon book may soon become a very big seller:
Do-it-yourself brain surgery & other home skills
(Of course it will be considered a medical device and be taxed as such, in addition to the new internet tax.)
Also the book's Breeding Combat Hampsters will become a necessity when the 2nd amendment is taken away.
Likewise, Making Your Home A Romantic Ruin will be very helpful when all of America looks like Detroit.
Inventing A Miracle Drug is already being practiced in Meth Labs all across the country.


Woman carries out DIY brain surgery
BBC
A UK woman has carried out do-it-yourself brain surgery in an attempt to cure her chronic fatigue syndrome.
The procedure went wrong, and she required urgent medical assistance.
Heather Perry, 29, from Gloucester, went to the US to carry out the procedure, which involved drilling a two-centimetre hole in her head

I have always understood that the entire law legalizing abortions hinged on a supposed "Right To Privacy" between a woman and her doctor.


2014: Taxpayers Must Report Personal Health ID Info to IRS...
"Six million of these families will end up paying Obamacare’s individual mandate non-compliance tax penalty."

Judging by the reader comments following the story, it appears that other citizens want that same "Right to Privacy".

Cancer patients face high costs under ObamaCare...

To try to keep premiums low, some states are allowing insurers to charge patients a hefty share of the cost for expensive medications used to treat cancer, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and other life-altering chronic diseases.
Such "specialty drugs" can cost thousands of dollars a month, and in California, patients would pay up to 30 percent of the cost. For one widely used cancer drug, Gleevec, the patient could pay more than $2,000 for a month's supply, says the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

1 in 4 cancer patients walks away from the pharmacy counter empty-handed when facing a copay of $500 or more for a newly prescribed drug.

And you thought it was free from the government... :lol:

PS: Mention the code word "Tea-Party" and you will get a special deal from the I.R.S. death panel.

OK. You will die."

I feel so good that this man...woman? person will be in charge of America's Health Care.

Ms INGRAM IN CHARGE DURING 'TEA PARTY' TARGETING, NOW RUNS IRS OBAMACARE OFFICE

Sarah Hall Ingram served as commissioner of the office responsible for tax-exempt organizations between 2009 and 2012. But Ingram has since left that part of the IRS and is now the director of the IRS’ Affordable Care Act office, the IRS confirmed to ABC News today.
Her successor, Joseph Grant, is taking the fall for misdeeds at the scandal-plagued unit between 2010 and 2012. During at least part of that time, Grant served as deputy commissioner of the tax-exempt unit.

IRS henchwoman got $103,390 in bonuses...
Sarah Hall Ingram, the IRS executive in charge of the tax exempt division in 2010 when it began targeting conservative Tea Party, evangelical and pro-Israel groups for harrassment, got more than $100,000 in bonuses between 2009 and 2012.

Remember the "Right to Privacy" which was invented to allow abortions to be legalized?
I guess that only applies when it's convenient?

IRS sued for seizing 60 million medical records
A healthcare provider has sued the IRS and 15 of its agents, charging they wrongfully seized 60 million medical records from 10 million Americans.
The name of the provider is not yet known. But Courthouse News Service said the suit claims the agency violated the Fourth Amendment in 2011, when agents executed a search warrant for financial data on one employee – and that led to the seizure of information on 10 million, including state judges.
"Despite knowing that these medical records were not within the scope of the warrant, defendants threatened to ‘rip’ the servers containing the medical data out of the building if IT personnel would not voluntarily hand them over,” the complaint states, UPI reported.
The suit also says IRS agents seized workers’ phones and telephone data – more violations of the warrant, UPI reported.
The complaint alleges the IRS was “invasive and unlawful” and stole access to intimate medical records that included patients’ treatment plans and therapies, UPI said.
The suit seeks $25,000 in compensatory damages, per violation. The records’ seizure could impact up to one in 25 Americans, UPI said.

Amendment IV
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

OBAMACARE: 146% RATE HIKE IN CA!?

Last week, the state of California claimed that its version of Obamacare’s health insurance exchange would actually reduce premiums. “These rates are way below the worst-case gloom-and-doom scenarios we have heard,” boasted Peter Lee, executive director of the California exchange.

But the data that Lee released tells a different story: Obamacare, in fact, will increase individual-market premiums in California by as much as 146 percent.

Of course rates go up under ObamaCare.

But who was paying for those freeloading before?

You were through taxes.

You thought those rolling up to emergency for free was paid by the fairies?

Get real!

I think Obama Care is a shocker, except for what went before.

Try looking at better systems worldwide.

I pay 1.5% from my gross salary here in Australia.

It may be going up to 1.75% which will then cover all those with disabilities.

Ouch, NO, it doesn't hurt.
