Did anyone wonder why GE Capital received $140 billion from the government in order to stay in business even though they are NOT a bank?  Their latest business initiative, “Healthymagination”, is the reason.  With Tom Daschle on board, and working with Intel to ready various “tools”, GE is smugly and firmly positioning itself to help President Obama nationalize health care to the tune of some $75 – $100 billion in contracts to computerize the nation’s health care records.  Among other things.  Because, according to GE CEO Jeff Immelt, we aren’t just experiencing an economic cycle, we’re deliberately doing a “reset”. “People who understand that will prosper in the future, and people who don’t understand that will get left behind.”

Left behind like the old people in England and other countries who can’t afford their country’s nationalized health care.  Left behind like those with certain diseases that just aren’t “cost effective” to treat promptly in England.

From the healthyimaging.com website:

GE also is engaging experts and leaders on policy and programs to create a GE Health Advisory Board, which will include former U.S. Senators Bill Frist and Tom Daschle, as well as Andrew von Escenbach, MD, former commissioner of the FDA.

To increase its focus on consumer-driven healthcare, Immelt mentioned the recent GE partnership with Intel to provide products to remotely monitor the health of seniors and those with chronic conditions. Now, through GE’s media network, the company said it also will focus on healthcare broadcasting, namely:

• NBC Universal and NBC News will make a commitment to bring health and wellness content to consumers in the form of more than 5,000 televised reports annually on health and wellness and companion online tools.
• MSNBC will launch a new, daily program dedicated solely to health information, beginning in June. The program will be anchored by NBC News Chief Medical Editor Nancy Snyderman, MD, who will tackle everything from health and wellness tips and medical breakthroughs to examining health policy.
• The Cleveland Clinic will join with GE and NBC to conduct research that seeks to better understand important factors that move consumers from being aware of a health condition via the media to actually changing their behaviors.

GE will partner with governments and other companies to build a “healthy work site” certification program. Immelt said GE will turn its 175 health centers into wellness clinics and increase the use of employee incentives and decision support for health and prevention, providing personal health records to employees to identify health risks and track behaviors.

Obama validates it in this email sent to his supporters:

Good afternoon, You are receiving this email because you signed up at WhiteHouse.gov. My staff and I plan to use these messages as a way to directly communicate about important issues and opportunities, and today I have some encouraging updates about health care reform. The Vice President and I just met with leaders from the House of Representatives and received their commitment to pass a comprehensive health care reform bill by July 31. We also have an unprecedented commitment from health care industry leaders, many of whom opposed health reform in the past. Monday, I met with some of these health care stakeholders, and they pledged to do their part to reduce the health care spending growth rate, saving more than two trillion dollars over the next ten years – around $2,500 for each American family. Then on Tuesday, leaders from some of America’s top companies came to the White House to showcase innovative ways to reduce health care costs by improving the health of their workers. Now the House and Senate are beginning a critical debate that will determine the health of our nation’s economy and its families. This process should be transparent and inclusive and its product must drive down costs, assure quality and affordable health care for everyone, and guarantee all of us a choice of doctors and plans.  Reforming health care should also involve you. Think of other people who may want to stay up to date on health care reform and other national issues and tell them to join us here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/EmailUpdates  Health care reform can’t come soon enough. We spend more on health care than any country, but families continue to struggle with skyrocketing premiums and nearly 46 million are without insurance entirely. It is a priority for the American people and a pillar of the new foundation we are seeking to build for our economy. P.S. If you’d like to get more in-depth information about health reform and how you can participate, be sure to visit http://www.HealthReform.gov.   We’ll continue to keep you posted about this and other important issues.  Thank you,  Barack Obama

With its initiatives targeted for completion in 2015, you can bet that GE is putting everything they have to insure a 2nd term for President Obama or another progressive, liberal Democrat in his place, and based on these tactics is going to use every one of its business holdings – including its media arm – to insure their bed-partner…errrr….business partner stays in office and to be the propaganda machine for his fascist wares.

I wonder what the shareholders are going to think when Obama decides they are no longer entitled to their profits?
