(This is one in a series of videos by Doug Drenkow ( http://douglasdrenkow.com ) for http://OpEdNews.com from the Rep. Schiff town hall meeting, in Alhambra, CA, Aug. 11, 2009)
Dr. Chu’s Manchurian Candidate Medical Care
Benjamin Chu MD is Kaiser Permanente’s "operator," who conditions doctors to control medical necessity decisions. Doctors play electronic solitaire in the exam room. When the “best practices” cards show the red Queen of Diamonds, doctors are conditioned not to order tests and treatment, making them the perfect assassins. If doctors refuse to obey, they are liquidated. Dr, Chu denied care to 55,000 kidney failure patients
