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 [...]

It used to be, not so very long ago, that the first numbers assigned to each newborn were date and time of birth, weight, and Apgar test scores (ratings on muscle tone, respiration, reflex irritability, pulse, and skin color).

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 [...]

Yesterday President Obama stuck his foot in it. It was a gaffe worthy of Vice President Biden! But let your mind not be troubled. I don’t think he noticed. He seems to struggle with the first half of his message, but delivers big at the end.

My recent toon, Are Grandma and Grandpa the Target? presented the full text of what will be in store for those over 65 years of age. You won’t hear much about this in the MSM, of course.

In today’s LA Times, Peter Nicholas reports White House declines to disclose visits by health industry executives, “citing an argument used by the Bush administration, the Secret Service rejects a request from a watchdog group to list those who have visited the White House to discuss the healthcare overhaul.”
Reporting from Washington — Invoking an argument [...]

The pharmaceutical industry is having a half-off sale! President Obama just couldn’t gush over it enough.
Soon, seniors trapped in the so-called Medicare drug coverage donut hole will be able to purchase their medications for 50% off the usual outrageous rate. As of now, Medicare helps pay for seniors’ medications (75%) up [...]

(bumped up from earlier this evening — it is the most fascinating history, and a true must-read! - Susan)
In the first post on our nation’s Social Security system I tried to give a brief history of how the program came about and the immediate needs of people suffering from the Depression that caused FDR to [...]

Editor’s Note: Thanks, Uppity, for a great piece, for which I’m planning a follow-up. This is precisely what terrified me about Obama’s health care and privatization plans for Social Security, which his ga-ga supporters utterly ignored because they were in fantasy land over this phony baloney post-partisanship (whatever that is, well, it’s nothing but B.S.
