Mom, This Post Is For You »

By Divine Democrat on Nov 20, 2009 in Current Affairs, Health Care, Women | 50 Comments

Nunly (aka, Divine Democrat), has allowed us to publish her post from Bad Habit.

Last night, while watching TV, I heard a blip on the news about how woman are being told that we don’t need those nasty ol’ mammograms anymore until we are 50 years old…and even then, only once every two years. [...]

Well, folks, we have a winner! I’ve been pondering which government official most deserves to sit at the left hand of Lucifer and at last I have found her! Speaker Nancy Pelosi did her level best to kick the ladder out from under Hillary Clinton last year, truly the most qualified of the [...]

HR 3926—Congressional Graffiti? »

By Pat Racimora on Nov 10, 2009 in Current Affairs, Health Care | 83 Comments

I want to see true health care reform. And the House just passed something that lots of people seem to be very excited about. Hoping to be part of the celebration, I did the only thing any one of us should do before jumping on board with HR 3926 —read the damn thing!

Obama and Pelosi Ram through Health Care, Ignoring “The Urgency of Now” on J.O.B.S.… »

Just before midnight Saturday, the House rammed through the 2,000 page monstrosity laughingly known as the health care bill. I’d say they did it under cover of night, reneging on a promise of a 72-hour waiting period. Again, who read this thing? How much arm twisting was involved to prevail in this [...]

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Nov 9, 2009 in Chicago politics, Congress (House & Senate), Current Affairs, Democrats, Health Care, President Barack Obama, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Unemployment/Jobs | 31 Comments

Yesterday was one for the ages. No, I’m not talking about the House of Representatives passing their Health Care Reform Bill. No, I will give you a break from the lunacy that is our Congress, one that passes a bill with little time for review thus resulting in Nancy Pelosi violating her promise of [...]

First the taxpayers’ treasure was raided to bail out Wall Street firms. Now it’s happening to 13 of them again, this time by putting their employees ahead of the highest risk groups among us ordinary folks to receive the H1N1 vaccine.

(Bumped up from Tuesday.)
This is rich. We know about Obama’s many, many czars. Mark Steyn believes Obama has another one, someone of whom you have heard, but who isn’t on the usual list,

Obama Makes Bush His Blame Czar. You know, he has a point - we’ve been hearing for months now “He [...]

The Issue Of Women And Health Insurance, As Well As News That Will Be A Big Surprise »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Oct 27, 2009 in Congress (House & Senate), Current Affairs, Democrats, Gender Bias, Health Care, Insurance Policies & Industry, Women and Children | 62 Comments

There has been a great deal of talk and debate about health care in the country recently as the Democrats push Heath Care Reform. A lot of animosity has been directed at the Health Insurance Industry as a whole. As it turns out, some is justified, but some is not. I was [...]

One just has to wonder what prompted the child in the video below to ask Obama the question he did. Maybe people in his household were decrying the lack of it, or maybe this child was picking up on the animosity in the air, or maybe he just wanted to share the good news [...]

obama: we are held hostage by insurance companies that deny coverage »

By American Girl in Italy on Oct 6, 2009 in Current Affairs, Health Care, Obama Administration, Sara in Italy | 76 Comments

“We are held hostage at any given moment by health insurance companies that deny coverage or drop coverage or charge fees that people can’t afford,” Obama said in August.

And on whitehouse.gov, the Administration promises more stability and security with health care reform, and points out that 20,000 people were denied treatment, to save money:

Just Doing What Needs To Be Done »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Oct 2, 2009 in Congress (House & Senate), Current Affairs, Education, Health Care, Jimmy Carter, Soldiers/Veterans, South Carolina | 31 Comments

The past few weeks, okay, MONTHS, have been fairly contentious: fights on Capitol Hill about Health Care Reform; the race card being played again, by a former president, no less; heightened concerns by those in the know about Afghanistan; our children being indoctrinated; and Hollywood Elite calling for the freedom of a convicted rapist and [...]

“We are spending enough of our kids’ money,” the letter said. “Our country needs to get back to following the teachings of Romans 13:8, which says we should ‘let no debt remain outstanding.’”
“In our view, shifting financial obligations of this magnitude to future generations is immoral, unacceptable and unsustainable,” the senators’ letter said.
“All of us [...]

By now, surely you have heard about the White House threatening a Gag Order on insurance companies, Humana in particular out of KY. Why? Because they dare to tell their members what will happen to Medicare Advantage if the current Health Care Bill goes through. Damn their eyes - what are they [...]

And Which One Is Lying Here? »

A classic case of “She said, he said,” is what we have here, that’s for sure. This next video (courtesy of longtime reader, SFIndie) illustrates the conundrum:

Um, it seems to me that if you happen to be the President of the United States, maybe you could appoint a Fact Checking Czar to go with [...]

In the continuation of my “Was He Lying Then, Or Is He Lying Now?” series, I have yet another video of “Then” and “Now.” I promise I’ll let go of this at some point soon, but there are just SO many things that keep coming up, especially in the Health Care arena, that I [...]

I tried to write something about Obama after his 263rd speech last Wednesday evening - not making up that number - but I just couldn’t. I am sick to death of him already. I am sick of seeing his face on the cover of my newspaper, on the cover of just about every [...]

Flopping Aces had a great post up this week about Obama’s empty words and dare I say, lies. It really points out how empty Obama’s promises were/are when it comes to bipartisanship, and the truth about what is going on in Washington.

My well meaning, but decidedly Obot, sister sent me an article from alternet.org recently written by a lesbian mother detailing the additional financial difficulties we face when we are on our partner’s health care coverage (”Unbelievable: As A Lesbian Mother, I Have To Pay More For Health Care“). Well, I can appreciate her alarm, [...]
