This woman says the quiet part out loud and speaks an uncomfortable truth. Say it louder for the people in the back!
“If the Government feeds you, it can starve you. If the Government houses you, it can evict you. If the Government pays your utilities, it can turn them off. If the Government pays your cell phone, it can disconnect it. If the Government provides your transportation, it can decide when you go and where you can travel. If the Government takes care of your health, it can decide when it has spent enough money on you. If the Government educates your children, it can choose what they learn. If the Government raises your children, it can shape what they believe. If the Government controls your information, it can control your truth.
And when a Government controls all of those things, it doesn’t have to take your freedom, you will hand it over piece by piece in exchange for comfort. You’ll think you’re being cared for, when in reality is, you’re being kept.”
Powerful words and she is 100% correct.
In the immortal words of Ronald Reagan- "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the government, and I'm here to help.' "
A hospital scam made possible by a law passed by Congress you didn’t even know was happening
“After a woman gives birth, there's a law put in place that doesn't allow her to sell her placenta, butthe government is allowed to”
“People are finding out that after they give birth, their placenta is then taken, which is (one of) the richest source of stem cells, and it can be sold anywhere from 50,000 upwards to $500,000, but they can't sell it themselves.”
“One person talks about her story at the hospital after having her baby where she had a doula there with her, and the doula had brought her own cooler and asked the doctor if she could take the placenta. The doctor agreed, so she put it in the cooler, took it, and left the hospital. Then droves of different groups of people kept coming in looking for the placenta, but didn't tell the woman that and said that they had lost something
And then eventually she found out they were looking for the placenta”
- A 2022 article from the Parent’s Guide to Cord Blood Foundation estimated the “street value” of a placenta at around $50,000, based on the potential market for processed placental products (e.g., amniotic membrane for wound care, stem cells for research)
- A blog by Dr. Chris Centeno speculated a higher value (up to $500,000) when including amniotic fluid and other birth tissues
You can use your imagination to guess what the hospital rate is…
