Who is Jeff Immelt? Jeff Immelt was a large contributor to the Obama campaign and other Democrats and was selected by General Electric's Board of Directors in 2000 to replace Jack Welch, then G.E. CEO. Since taking over, GE's stock has
dropped nearly 80%. Mr. Immelt was head of GE's Medical Systems division (aka: GE Healthcare) and in February, 2009, he was appointed as a member to the
President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board. The board is charged with providing the president and his administration with advice and counsel in fixing America's economic downturn, despite the fact that GE's stock has
dropped nearly 80% since Immelt took over.
Now, the smart talk around D.C. is that Mr. Immelt is pushing to have GE's medical systems division become the sole administrator for the Democrat's Nationalized Health Care Plan (aka: single payer plan). Haven't heard about it? Certainly not on NBC, CNBC, or MSNBC! Although you probably have seen horror stories on Today Show, Obermann's diatribe, and "Ole' Thrill Up My Leg Matthews" about mismanaged medicine, how there are two levels of care - insured and uninsured, how only the federal government can fix this dire problem.
So, here's the Mmelt Down Theory, Immelt directs NBC (and MSNBC & CNBC) to promote nationalized medicine with stories sympathetic to Obama Administration, Obama appoints GE Healthcare as sole administrator for nationalized healthcare, money flows into Immelt's pocket from feds through G.E. Healthcare, Immelt directs NBC (and MSNBC & CNBC) to promote nationalized ... and so it goes.
There does appear to be one missing part to this chart. No, not the Federal Government. They will have their own level of superior health care available only to the elite government officials. That's why they are "insulated" in the middle of the chart (
They will insist this is NOT a two level system). Surely you wouldn't want someone like Sen. Teddy Kennedy to have to actually go to a public clinic! What's missing is
you . We will be relegated to the same mass production health system as in England, Canada, and else where where people actually die waiting for procedures we take for granted today.
But, as I said
this is a problem only the government can fix, just like the V.A. Health system or __(fill in your own gov't program)__ .
