Health Care Nurses and Doctors to be DRAFTED when DRAFT starts (2005?)

[Dems Will Win]

Maybe even computer experts and linguists!!

With certain exceptions, all men residing in the United States are required to register for the draft within 30 days of their 18th birthday. The obligation of a man to register is imposed by the Military Selective Service Act, which establishes and governs the operations of the Selective Service System.

In addition to the Military Selective Service Act, the "Health Care Personnel Delivery System" was authorized by Congress in 1987 to deal with large-scale casualties that outstripped the active-duty military's ability to handle them. If implemented, the bill would require a mass registration of male and female health care workers between the ages of 20 and 45. At this time; however, the Selective Service has no statutory authority to draft medical personnel. That authorization would be provided by legislation to be introduced and passed in Congress at the time of a national defense mobilization. That "M-Day" legislative package has not been made available for public comment or congressional debate. See the Center on Conscience and War’s "Health Care Professionals and the Draft" for details regarding the Health Care Personnel Delivery System.

The Pentagon is considering other "special skills" drafts, to include military linguists, computer experts, or engineers, which could arise from other immediate needs. "We're going to elevate that kind of draft to be a priority," said Lewis Brodsky, acting director of the Selective Service System.

1. From official 2004 SSS readiness plan on Health Care Workers

http://www.sss.gov/perfplan_fy2004.html

1. Develop an Area Office Prototype Exercise that will test the Health
Care Personnel Delivery System (HCPDS) work flows and support
programs.

Strategic Objective 1.1: Within current legislative guidance, enhance the Agency’s ability
to respond flexibly to a DoD request for health care personnel using the Agency’s HCPDS.

How success will be measured:

The Agency’s HCPDS Manual meets or exceeds the predetermined user satisfaction rating.

Integrate DoD manpower requirements and other relevant
requirements into the HCPDS Program to better meet expansion and manpower delivery requirements.

Complete 90% of project tasks in accordance with project milestones.

By 2004, 90% of the Agency’s assigned SDs and RFOs are capable of implementing the policies and procedures contained in the HCPDS Manual.

Obtain maximum participation in a full-scale readiness exercise with at least 90% of the Agency’s participating units achieving satisfactory performance evaluations.



This is their Number 1 goal!

(The personnel to deliver (induct) is your local doctor and nurse)

4. Well, at least then they wouldn't

have to worry about that phony, whiny, manufactured so-called malpractice insurance "crisis", then, would they?

[PaDUer]

6. Any idea of the ages

of these medical personnel who would be called up??

[slaveplanet]

8. I've heard they want to push it to 50 N/T

[Dems Will Win]

9. Do you have any more info on that?

Thanks!

[Dems Will Win]

11. Here's the info page on drafting FEMALE doctors and nurses up to the age

of 45, not 50.

All doctors and nurses will soon be forced to register if I am right about the 2005 draft.

Read it and weep:

MEDICAL DRAFT IN STANDBY MODE Printer Friendly Version

The Health Care Personnel Delivery System (HCPDS) is a standby plan developed for the Selective Service System at the request of Congress. If needed it would be used to draft health care personnel in a crisis. It is designed to be implemented in connection with a national mobilization in an emergency, and then only if Congress and the President approve the plan and pass and sign legislation to enact it. No portion of the plan is designed for implementation in peacetime. If implemented, HCPDS would:

Provide a fair and equitable draft of doctors, nurses, medical technicians and those with certain other health care skills if, in some future emergency, the military’s existing medical capability proved insufficient and there is a shortage of volunteers.

Include women, unless directed otherwise by Congress and the President.

Draft a very small percentage of America’s health care providers into military service. Impact on the availability of civilian health care would be minimal. Those health-care workers whose absence would seriously hurt their communities would be deferred on the basis of community essentiality.

Begin a mass registration of male and female health care workers between the ages of 20 and 45. They would register at local post offices. HCPDS would provide medical personnel from a pool of 3.4 million doctors, nurses, specialists and allied health professionalsin more than 60 fields of medicine.

Require minimal training for HCPDS draftees, because they are already skilled personnel.

No wonder the healthcare union wants Dr. Dean!

12. I heard it a while back

On some radio show, I doubt it's on the record anywhere...these things always get monkeyed with right before implementation. I suppose it will be set when they judge the receptivity of it. If you read the original post , it says 20-45 to REGISTER, thats not the age limit for forced service.

2. I know a doctor in Fort Wayne, Indiana, who would be just thrilled to go.

Yeah, you know the one I mean.

18. Frank Burns?

Funny......I just mentioned MASH and the conscription of health care personnel in the Korean War on another post on this subject.

[Dems Will Win]

19. Oh now I get it!

Duh!

I'v been thinking Francoise? for two days already! What the hell is Francoise?

[sandnsea]

3. Now I get to worry about two kids

I hadn't thought about my daughter being a nurse by then. This gets worse and worse.

[no_hypocrisy]

5. Potentially ironic situation:

There's a nursing shortage in the U.S. generally.

Hospitals pay delegates to go to the Phillipines and other countries to recruit nurses and other healthcare workers to come to the U.S. to work for non-union wages in hospitals and nursing homes. The new workers comprise a significant representation on staffs.

The new immigrants get drafted because they are healthcare workers. Sort of M*A*S*H* in reverse.

[slaveplanet]

7. I know why they want the medical personel.

they need them for the forced smallpox vaccinations.

How much you want to bet they expand the hell out of that "Special skills division"...they need an army of slaves to implement their plans,they won't rest until every male and female between the ages of 18-50 is forced to serve , you know ...digging ditches, emptying trashcans, fetching coffee and donuts for that new form of government Mr Franks is refering too.

10. OMFG! and both my daughters entered nursing at Mount St Marys age 30&23

last year :grr:

[Dems Will Win]

13. They will be asked to register at the Post Office in 2005 if Bush is

re-selected, I believe.

[amazona]

14. huh

Kind of makes me grateful to be old and useless.

[Cheswick2.0]

15. good. I know this will piss people off, but if there is a draft

everyone should be called. Maybe then people will open their eyes. It's okay when a bunch of poor kids with no options are sent to die.

[Dems Will Win]

16. I think the point is there wouldn't have to be a DRAFT if Bush just fought

Osama and didn't try to carry out the PNAC plan for domination of the world's oil supply. So if you vote Dem in '04, no draft. If you vote Bush, the draft could start June 15, 2005!

[oasis]

20. We see how Chimpy exploited 9/11.He will capitalize on any future event to

justify a draft. Large or small.

[Atman]

17. Effing great

I've been worried sick for months about my first-born, who just turned 18.

Now I find they may come for my wife, too.

Well, who cares, right? Maybe gas will drop to $1.45. That would make it all worth it.
