Senate Republicans have had health care plans. They also have the only two medical doctors in the Senate. The docs discuss why the health care bill is “scary”: The bill is here. Dr. Coburn says in his Wall Street Journal op-ed: I recently suggested that seniors will die sooner if Congress actually implements the Medicare […]

The honest truth is that Obamacare, at its heart, is not really about healthcare. To the contrary, it’s about giving more power to the government and by extension, the Left. If this health care bill breaks the budget, leads to millions of Americans dying prematurely because of rationing, and drives costs up, liberals are fine […]

Conservatives were shut out of giving input on Obamacare from the beginning, so there has never been any support for it from the Right. Independents have also long since turned on the bill. Now that the stealth road to a single payer system appears to have been ripped out of the bill, even a significant […]

Deep in the bowels of the health care monstrosity being rammed down our throats, there is a provision that will add a 5% tax on a “cosmetic surgery and medical procedures.”:  The $849 cost of this bill, which Democrats in Congress have done such a brilliant job of ignoring thus far, has to be paid […]

Despite the Democratic attempts to paint the health care bill as an inevitability, the signs of life for the bill are looking ever more faint. The bill is extremely unpopular and the poll numbers seem to be getting worse for it by the week. Moreover, Harry Reid is having an extremely difficult time getting to […]

Are you starting to breath easier because it looks like the Public Option is toast? Don’t. The guys from Verum Serum explain: Earlier today I referred to the Senate compromise plan as “RahmCare”, given a similar proposal that the President’s Chief-of-Staff made at a congressional healthcare forum in 2007. But it turns out this isn’t […]

The liberal line on Obamacare is that despite the fact that it’s unpopular with the public and won’t start paying off until 2014, the smart political move is for Democrats to vote for it. So, how is that theory working out so far for Blanche Lincoln, who’s up for reelection next year? According to Rasmussen […]

What do liberals do when they lack substance or lose the argument on the merits? They resort to the Compelling Life (or in this case dying) Story. It’s like the world is one long After-School Special to leftists–all weeping tears and make-it-better-actions by government. The only problem is that these stories are often bogus. Michelle […]

Crossposted at TabithaHale.com. UPDATE: After making the threat earlier this week, Coburn said, “I don’t know” when POLITICO asked if he would force a reading by Senate clerks on the floor. With his colleagues eager to go home for the Thanksgiving break, it’s possible that Coburn may backoff. Thanks, Coburn. The 2,074-page Senate health care […]
