Remember when the President promised that “reform” would not force workers off health plans with which they were satisfied? Well, we have yet more evidence that this was just another of Obama’s trademark lies:
Part of the health care overhaul due to kick in this September could strip more than 1 million people of their insurance coverage, violating a key […]

OBAMACARE TO KICK A MILLION LOW-INCOME WORKERS OFF THEIR HEALTH PLANS
VIDEO: HALEY DECLARES “WE SAID NO THE DARK SIDE OF POLITICS”
Despite all manner of nasty (and unproven) allegations, Nikki Haley got enough votes in South Carolina to put her in the runoff for the GOP gubernatorial nomination. The money quote from her speech:
We said “no” the dark side of politics.
ZOGBY POLL: THE LEFT FLUNKS ECON 101
If you have ever wondered why progressives support so many fiscally unsustainable programs (e.g. Obamacare), a new Zogby survey provides the answer—our liberal friends just don’t get the math:
Who is better informed about the policy choices facing the country—liberals, conservatives or libertarians? According to a Zogby International survey … the left flunks Econ 101.
The Zogby researchers ascertained the political […]
THE IGNORANCE ECONOMY
In his latest column Thomas Sowell explains, in a single paragraph, why the Obama recession continues unabated:
Even though some people say we are living in a “knowledge economy,” we are living in a political atmosphere in which ignorance has more power than ever.
He then explains how this affects the economy:
Washington politicians who have never run […]
OBAMA WILL HOLD TOWN HALL TO PROMOTE BILLION-DOLLAR VOTE-BUYING SCHEME
Tomorrow, the President will kick off a new campaign to sell Obamacare the American public. He will hold a town hall in Maryland to unveil what has to be the most brazen vote-buying scheme of modern times:
Mr. Obama travels to Wheaton, MD … to trumpet one of the law’s most popular features: $250 rebate checks […]
DEMS HIDING FROM THEIR CONSITITUENTS
Having thumbed their noses at the electorate on Obamacare, congressional Democrats are now hiding from the voters. Even the NYT has noticed:
The sentiment that fueled the rage during those Congressional forums is still alive … But the opportunities for voters to openly express their displeasure … have been harder to come by in this election year.
Why? […]
WH DENOUNCES THOMAS’ ANTI-SEMITISM
Showing more alacrity than we are used to seeing from the White House, Robert Gibbs jumped at the chance to denounce Helen Thomas’ recent anti-Semitic remarks as “offensive and reprehensible�:
Obviously those remarks are … do not reflect certainly the opinion of most people in here, and certainly not of the administration.
I wish I could believe Gibbs […]
WHO’S PAYING WHO?
Last year, anyone suggesting that the World Health Organization had prematurely declared the H1N1 outbreak a “pandemic” was treated like an anti-science neanderthal. Well, now it’s pretty obvious that it was indeed premature, and the British Medical Journal may have discovered why the WHO jumped the gun:
Key scientists advising the World Health Organization on planning for […]
DUMBEST BERWICK DEFENSE OF THE WEEK
Earlier this week, I predicted that there would be a lot of disingenuous journalism committed in support of Obama’s choice for CMS head. And, sure enough, we have seen all the usual red herrings, straw men and ad hominem attacks.
I must say, however, that even I was not prepared for the absurd combination of dishonesty and stupidity exhibited in the London Times by Alice […]
THE WAGES OF OBAMACARE
For anyone in doubt about how the Obama regime plans to “control health care costs,” I recommend this piece about the DOJ’s heavy-handed coercion of Idaho doctors:
Today the Antitrust Division, joined by Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden, forced a a group of Boise orthopedists to accept price controls for worker’s compensation and HMO contracts as part of a settlement accusing the doctors […]
