Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Despite assurances to the contrary, Politico.com is reporting that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D, Calif.) does not have the votes to include the so-called public option in the House version of Obamacare making it more likely that a “trigger” will be included instead. Politico also reports that Obama himself announced support for the […]

 

Obamacare Lacks ‘Protection Against Treatment Denials’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The L.A. Times published a story that was probably meant solely as a bash on insurance companies, but still the report brings up several issues that Obamacare will only make worse if passed. The problem raised in the headline, “Healthcare bills lack protections against treatment denials, experts say,” isn’t the only problem the story touches […]

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.

And it’s apparent that a surprising number of people who are living […]

 

Bipartisan B.S.

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Eric Canter says that President Obama hasn’t met with Republicans for four months. So much for bipartisanship. He talks about the health care bill being a “disaster” for the Obama administration. Just a side note: The Senate has two medical doctors. They’re Republicans. The White House hasn’t consulted the only doctors in the Senate on […]

 

Obama keeps Hitler analogy in the public eye

Posted on by Bookworm

Is Obama telling a true story or not? I don’t know and with Obama’s credibility gap, it’s impossible to tell. It doesn’t matter, though.
