"Home Visits" by the CDC in Health Rationing Plan

The health-care rationing bill approved this week by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee includes a ghoulish phrase.

The committee’s official summary of the bill states:


“Authorizes a demonstration program to improve immunization coverage. Under this program, CDC will provide grants to states to improve immunization coverage of children, adolescents, and adults through the use of evidence-based interventions. States may use funds to implement interventions that are recommended by the Community Preventive Services Task Force, such as reminders or recalls for patients or providers, or home visits.”


Home visits by the state will sends government officials to “implement interventions” in private homes designed “to improve immunization coverage of children.”
