John D. Rockefeller

The supreme court of the U.S. finds John Rockefeller and his Trust guilty of corruption, illegal business contact and racketeering. As a result of this decision, the entire Rockefeller Standard Oil-Trust, the world’s largest corporation of this time, was sentenced to be dismantled. But Rockefeller was already above the supreme court and did not care about this decision.

1913

In order to disperse public and political pressure on him and other robber-barons Rockefeller uses a trick called “philanthropy”: he uses the illegal gains from his robber-practices in the oil business to launch the Rockefeller Foundation. This tax haven was used to strategically take over the health care sector in the U.S..

The Rockefeller Foundation was the front organization for a new global business venture of Rockefeller and his accomplices. This new venture was called the pharmaceutical investment business. Donation from the Rockefeller Foundation went only to medical schools and hospitals, which had become missionaries of patented pharmaceutical drugs, developed by a new breed of companies, manufacturers of patented, synthetic drugs.

Statement From MedStar Health

Columbia, MD (June 28, 2012 ) – The United States Supreme Court today issued a very important ruling for the American people and for healthcare providers as it upheld the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). Regardless of our individual political perspectives, as healthcare providers, we provide care for all Americans regardless of their ability to pay. We have viewed the individual mandate, guaranteed issuance of insurance and prohibition of pre-existing condition limitations as key components of meaningful health reform, and we are pleased the Supreme Court has upheld them. We are also pleased that the Court’s decision provides increased certainty about the path forward as we all work to transform the healthcare system in the United States.

As one of the nation’s leading healthcare systems, MedStar Health is working actively with its physician partners to provide more coordinated care focused on quality and service outcomes.
