Karl Rove sums up the health care bill’s fiscal effect

I like how clearly Karl Rove sums up the economic pain the Democrats’ proposed health care plan will impose on the economy as a whole and on individual Americans: For starters, the bill is a lot more expensive than advertised. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) pegs its cost at $1.055 trillion over 10 years, not [...]

Call your Congress person on SEIU’s dime

Got the following email from a friend, which is an appropriate follow-up to the post I did about Michele Bachmann’s recommendation that you call your Congress person daily to protest Obama Care: Hey, all! When you make those phone calls to senators and congresspeople in response to Michelle Bachman’s call for help, Roberto suggested we [...]

Blast faxing Senators regarding the upcoming vote on Obama Care *UPDATED*

Just got the following message: Citizens in Action is providing Americans who are opposed to the proposed health care legislation  with an easy and effective way to fax the 31 Senators who could vote one way or the other on health care reform. Because the first important Senate vote is Tuesday, the time to act [...]

Forcing all of us to pay for others’ indulgent priorities

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 [...]

An excellent summary of the whoppers in Obama’s speeches about health care

Obama lies.  He does not merely prevaricate, waffle, beg the question, evade, mince words or engage in any other delicate dodge around the truth.  When it comes to the health care bill he is trying to sell American, he and out and lies.  He tries to sell us big, fat, juicy, completely false representations of [...]

AARP runs meeting consistent with their paper’s Leftist management

It was only last week that I wrote about the fact that the AARP’s weird support for Obama Care, a plan that is likely to ration care its members, might be connected to the fact that at least one branch of its management, the magazine editorship, is to the left of Left.  I think that [...]

An insight into the physician’s eyeview of rationed care

The debate on Obama Care has tended to focus on money and on vague accusations of probable racism.  Zane Pollard, an opthamologist, spells out precisely what that rationing will look like.  And no matter how the Dems dress it up, for the vast majority of Americans, it will look much worse than what they have [...]

The bottom line on Obama Care

Karl Rove nicely articulates the bottom line facts driving Obama’s fear-mongering game to force through immediate and irrevocable changes to America’s health care system: Mr. Obama’s problem is that nine out of 10 Americans would likely get worse health care if ObamaCare goes through. Of those who do not have insurance—and who therefore might be [...]

Obama and the AARP — partners in crime

A consensus seems to be growing that the ObamaCare bill does not bode well for seniors.  Aside from the mandatory “counseling” for all seniors, counseling that’s only worth doing if it’s meant to steer seniors away from obtaining treatment, simple common sense dictates that the health care cannot work without rationing — and rationing will [...]
