Subject:
NO - on HR 3962 Affordable Health Care for America Act

To:
Sen. George Voinovich

November 2, 2009

Dear Honorable Senator Voinovich,

I am writing to ask that you please vote NO on the newly-forged 1990-page "Affordable Health Care for America Act" (HR 3962) offered by the House of Representatives. The reason is simply this: it is filled
with mental health provisions intended to financially prop up psychiatry as well as the pharmaceutical industry with unearned billions in future income while their zero-scientific programs will wreak death and their own drug-created insanity from their powerful psychotropic drugs: Just read their own Black Box Warnings of suididality, homicidality and depression as side effects on these drugs. We have already witnessed untold school shootings by kids ON these drugs and murdering as a DIRECT cause of these drugs.

Yet this bill is written to overlook this screaming evidence and instead allow psychiatry to go unpoliced with its plans to screen and drug women and children without any tests to back up evidence of existence in the brain or body of a mental imbalance that is supposed to be "chemically rebalanced" by any one of these drugs.

And already there is ample evidence of corrupt motive. For example, Screening for Mental Health, Inc., and its sub-organization Signs of Suicide, who heavily promote and conduct mental health screening, received $4,985,925 from pharma- ceutical companies prior to 2008, and ten leading psychiatric researchers have been exposed in the last year for failing to disclose millions of dollars in pharmaceutical payments.

Yet this bill contains no provisions for full disclosure of conflicts of interest for any "entity" that could receive federal taxpayer funded grants, do research or promotional campaigns - such as the provision in the bill calling for a national PR campaign using TV, radio public and other public service announcements to urge women be screened and seek treatment for postpartum depression.

And,again,considering there are no medical tests to verify the existence of any psychiatric disorder, and without anything other than a psychiatrist's opinion about whether or not the person's "illness" is "cured," this legislation becomes nothing more than taxpayer funded billions to the psycho/pharmaceutical industry who will continue their jihad of mass drugging of Americans.

Please vote NO and instead urge Congress to pass laws that protect the citizen and which bring Psychiatry and the greed-driven Pharmaceutical industry fully under the law.
