Are You Ready To Have The IRS & DMV Involved In Your Health Care?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Everything the government gets involved with inevitably turns into a horrific mess. Think FEMA and Katrina. Think ICE and the border. Think about the Post Office vs. Fed Ex or UPS. Think about our nation’s budget and Medicare. Think housing projects. Think welfare. Think about the economic crisis we’re in right now — the one […]

 

Hey, Cool, Obama And The Dems Finally Have A Health Care Opponent

Posted on by William Teach

I’m guessing the Washington Post forgot all about the Republican electa-critters who decried government run health care and offered up all sorts of plans, not too mention the TEA Parties, and all those folks who were questioning their electa-critters at Townhalls, who knew more about the legislation than the electa-critters. Moving on Now they have […]

 

White House Fights Back On AHIP Study, With Typical Venom

Posted on by William Teach

During the Bush years, one of my biggest complaints, and certainly a complaint of most supporters, was that he and his administration just wouldn’t fight for his policies. But, then, you never heard the Bush administration consistently insulting, demeaning, demonizing, assaulting, abusing, and denigrating private citizens and entities that oppose, criticize, and/or take exception to […]

 

AP: Citing a Fact is Not Playing Nice

Posted on by Lee Doren

Leave it to the Associated Press to demonstrate its Leftist bias and economic illiteracy in one sentence. Apparently, the insurance companies are citing the fact that if they have to cover all preexisting conditions, the price for everyone’s insurance premiums will increase. Yes, and the sky is blue. Insurance companies aren’t playing nice any more. […]

 

Maine, Tennessee, Massachusetts Universal Healthcare Plans a Bust

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Both President Obama and the Democratic Congress have ignored the mess that three states have made of their economy and tax burden by attempting to create a public option and/or universal healthcare. Tennessee has its TennCare program, Maine has tried a “public option” program, and Massachusetts has its RomenyCare system that promises healthcare for all. […]

 

Artificial Breasts for Transsexuals on Someone Else’s Dime May Be a Human Right

Posted on by Dave Blount

In exchange for real rights as enshrined in the US Constitution, such as our rights to free speech, to bear arms, and to own property that’s ours and not the government’s, moonbat authoritarians offer their own version of “rights” — i.e., special goodies that it’s your right to force someone else to pay for. The […]

 

8 Dem Senators Push Reid for Transparency on Health Bill

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

As reported earlier, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has been fighting against efforts to institute transparency in the healthcare debate by posting SB3200, the House healthcare bill, online for at least 72 hours before the bill comes to the floor. Similarly, efforts to bring transparency to the Senate’s Baucus bill are also in the […]

 

ObamaCare And The “New Mommy Tax”, Ie “Why Does Obama Hate Women, Children and Minorities”

Posted on by William Teach

Yeah, yeah, I know I really shouldn’t call it ObamaCare, since, like virtually every other policy, Obama gives a speech then votes “present!” In this case, he has outsourced all the health system destruction legislation out to Congress. We’re still waiting for Obama’s actual plan, which he said weeks ago he would supply. Anyhow, Amanda […]

 

Pelosi Thwarting Transparency Measures, Won’t Allow Public to See Healthcare Bill

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On September 25, we reported on the Walden Discharge Petition that Representative Joe Wilson informed us about in a conference telephone call. Wilson told us of a resolution that would force all bills that come before the House for a vote to be posted on the Internet for 72 hours before the members can vote […]

 

Obama’s Socialist Doctors Photo Op: Fail

Posted on by Dave Blount

The teleprompter presidency again degenerated into farce yesterday when it staged a spectacle intended to create the impression that doctors welcome absorption into Comrade Obama’s socialist blob: In a heavy-handed attempt at reviving support for health-care reform, the White House orchestrated a massive photo op to buttress its claim that front-line physicians support Obama. A […]

 

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Demonizing Private Insurance Companies

Posted on by William Teach

Over the past few months, we have heard and read about Democrat leaders doing their typical “hey, let’s insult, demean, damage, and demonize yet another private entity” in regards to the health insurance industry. They tell us that the private health insurance companies should be more like the selfless government run Medicare. Yeah, about that […]

 

Dems False Talking Point of 80% Agreement

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Obama has repeatedly been heard to say that Congress agrees on “about 80% of what needs to be done” on healthcare. And many Democratic congressmen have been echoing this since Obama’s Sept. speech. The meme has been used to present their case as if Obamacare is somehow mostly acceptable by all concerned. Even some Republican […]

 

A Democratic Philosophy Against Transparency

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

We can look at four of the amendments offered as additions to the healthcare bill that Democrats defeated and what we see gives us a glimpse into the Democratic Party’s true soul. And it is a dark look, indeed. At least it’s dark if you are one of those lowly citizens that thinks government transparency […]

 

Forcing all of us to pay for others’ indulgent priorities

Posted on by Bookworm

All of us have long known that poverty in America isn’t like poverty anywhere else in the world. There really isn’t anything here comparable to the poverty in Haiti, or Calcutta, or large swathes of Africa. Even poor people have televisions and phones. And it’s apparent that a surprising number of people who are living […]

 

Podcast: Dr. Palimisano: “The Public Option Is Not Dead”..And How Young Is Too Young? Kids & Technology

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Dr. Donald Palmisano, former President of the American Medical Association and Director of The Coalition To Protect Patients Rights joined me and discussed the Health Care legislation, the AMA’s support of it and much more. It is a must listen. In the second half, I discuss kids and technology with my producer Mike Williams (who […]

 

Health Care: Treating A Life And Death Situation Like A Mere Political Game

Posted on by John Hawkins

I believe that one of the unspoken reasons for the furious tenor of the health care debate has been the profoundly non-serious way the whole issue has been handled by the Democrats. We’re talking about a government takeover of 1/6 of the US economy — so, this is an issue that will literally affect the […]

 

Unions Threatened by New House Healthcare Provision?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Democrat leadership of the House of Representatives now wants to pay for H.R.3200 — the House healthcare bill — by charging a tax on the so-called Cadillac healthcare plans. This surtax is something that has been talked about in the Senate and forms an integral part of the Baucus bill, but this is the […]

 

What’s the Difference Between a Conservative and a Liberal?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

People often wonder what is the difference between a conservative and a liberal. The simple fact of the matter is that the major difference is that conservatives wonder first what it is they are responsible for while liberals wonder first what everyone else should be doing for them. Here are some brief rules of thumb: […]

 

Obama Plays Race Card, Links Health Care To Civil Rights

Posted on by William Teach

Yes, yes, I know, we are supposed to be boycotting The Politico for their idiotic lawsuit threat against The College Politico, but, they are the only one with the complete story and the information to match it up (others have some, but, not enough), so, I hope you’ll excuse this one lapse: Obama links civil […]

 

Capital Hill Switchboard Illegally Being Used to Push Obamacare? (Question Solved)

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

**UPDATE** NUMBER IDENTIFIED** I have finally tracked down what this number is. Apparently it is a left-wing group that uses this 1-800 number as a re-direct to the Capitol Hill switchboard. You call the number, hear the message, and then it re-directs you to the real switchboard. The message is not being hosted on the […]

 

Drop the gag order, Sebelius.

Posted on by Tabitha Hale

Who knew they still had a spine? Sept. 24 (Bloomberg) — Senate Republicans vowed to block President Barack Obama’s nominee for surgeon general and other health officials unless the government drops what they said is a “gag order” barring insurers from lobbying their Medicare policyholders on the health-insurance overhaul. The move by Senate Minority Leader […]

 

Paranoid Racist Whack Jobs.

Posted on by Tabitha Hale

Remember all the outcry when we raised hell about President Obama’s address to students? Our concerns were “baseless“. We’re clearly nothing but “paranoid right wing nut jobs“. And of course, don’t forget RAAAACIST!! Fine, other Presidents have spoken to students before. THAT is not what we took issue with! How many Presidents issued study guides? […]

 

Bloomberg: Food Rules Are for Thee, Not for Me

Posted on by Dave Blount

Nanny Nazi Mike Bloomberg — who insists on regulating every last bite New Yorkers put in their own mouths — has dietary habits that must put his cardiologist into shock: He dumps salt on almost everything, even saltine crackers. He devours burnt bacon and peanut butter sandwiches. He has a weakness for hot dogs, cheeseburgers, […]

 

Indoctrination: Quizzed on Obama’s speech

Posted on by Tabitha Hale

From Smart Girl Nation: A member’s daughter, a senior in high school, had come home upset because, although the speech was not shown in her school, her anatomy teacher had made the class watch the President’s health care speech. After the video was shown, the students were given a short quiz about the speech. The […]

 

I Agree: Birth Control COULD Save the Planet

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This may shock many of my conservative fans, but I cannot remain quiet about my support for the singularly brilliant idea that Obama’s so-called science czar offered in the 1975 college textbook Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment. Birth control, it was theorized, could save the planet. I have to say that I wholeheartedly agree. In 1975, […]

 

Dick Morris Knows How To Kill Obamacare

Posted on by John Hawkins

Dick Morris has done an absolutely fantastic video talking about how to stop Obamacare: Now you’re probably saying, another health care argument? We’re hearing these day in, day out, all over the place. What makes this one so exceptional? I’ll tell you what makes this one great: In this video, Dick Morris completely ignores ideology […]

 

Killing private insurers… it begins.

Posted on by Tabitha Hale

From the Wall Street Journal: Earlier this month, Humana sent a one-page letter to its customers enrolled in its Medicare Advantage plans, which offer private options to Medicare beneficiaries. Humana noted that, because of spending cuts proposed by Democrats, “millions of seniors and disabled individuals could lose many of the important benefits and services that […]

 

Mandates Must be Unconstitutional

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Imagine a day when a president could tell you that you have to buy something or become a criminal via federal law if you don’t. Imagine a day when you are not allowed to choose not to buy a certain product. In a land of true freedom and liberty worrying about the arrival of such […]
