I have recently discovered the perils of the healthcare system as visited upon the elderly in a most painful and personal way. My mom’s increasing fragility has had her in several emergency rooms, in hospital beds for diagnostics, a battery of invasive tests and in two different skilled nursing facilities for rehab in less than [...]

The Cato Institute, a non-partisan libertarian think tank offered an article by Chris Edwards: Costly IRS Mandate Slipped into Health Bill: Most people know about the individual mandate in the new health care bill, but the bill contained another mandate that could be far more costly. A few wording changes to the tax code’s section [...]

Tom Bevan posted Obama’s Stunning Admission on Real Clear Politics, discussing the President’s appearance at the House Republican retreat yesterday. He points out that no matter how much coverage has been dedicated to this “exchange of ideas,” or exercise in Presidential bullying, depending on your perspective, no one mentioned this rather shocking tidbit about the [...]

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 bunch, in [...]

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 close vote of [...]

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 could [...]

All this talk about Obama speaking to the *shoochildren* got me thinking about the school system. Can’t one look at the education system when pondering what a government run health care program would look like? Like health care, the US spends more than any other country on education (except Switzerland). And like health care, we [...]

There has been lots of talk recently about the Health Care Bill, what it contains, how it will be run, and who it will cover. Many folks claim that since the government does such a bang-up job with Medicare, it should be no problem for them to pick up millions and millions more people with [...]

My good friend and neighbor, let’s call him, Roger, depends entirely on his pitifully small Social Security check as well as Medicare. He called up his senators and representative yesterday, and also sent all three of them this e-mail: I am stunned that the Obama administration has the nerve to refuse to give senior and [...]

Yes, yes he has. Here’s the video of TYT pondering this question in light of the recent “revelations” of Obama’s duplicity:

(Updated at end of post with excellent video of Dylan Ratigan’s Morning Meeting talking about the administrations “un-American” deals.) We must have misunderstood. We actually thought the whole point of reforming health care was to help the american people have better, more affordable health care. We thought the promise was: BARACK OBAMA’S PLAN FOR A [...]

I know this isn’t much of a cartoon. But it’s the look that I needed to illustrate what I think you will find much more interesting in my story. When I was doing health care research for General Wes Clark’s team a few years ago, I gained some fascinating insights into what it would take [...]

The other day, I saw a post by Greg Palast, one he originally wrote for Huffington Post. When you read it, you will see why that is kind of funny. I wonder how they responded to it over there? I’m not about to go there and give them the traffic to find out – I’ll [...]

Wow, have I ever been laboring under a false impression! I thought, from what the Constitution (and Bill of Rights) contained, that US citizens have the right to assemble, and the right to free speech. Oh, and that our representatives worked for US, and not the other way around. Was I ever misled by my [...]
