The other day, I wrote about ObamaCare’s war on kids and seniors. Well, as the NYT reports, it’s even worse than we thought:
In an unintended consequence of the new health care law, drug companies have begun notifying children’s hospitals around the country that they no longer qualify for large discounts on drugs used to treat […]

OBAMACARE CAUSING CHILDREN’S HOSPITALS TO LOSE DRUG DISCOUNTS
WILL JUDGE HUDSON GIVE OBAMACARE THE MICHAEL VICK TREATMENT?
My latest column for the American Spectator speculates on the possibility that U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson might strike down not merely the individual mandate but the entire Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act.
The law has no severability clause, which theoretically means that Judge Hudson has to put the hammer down on the whole law […]
OBAMACARE WAIVER TOTAL HITS 222!
Pretty soon, so many entities will have been granted waivers that repealing ObamaCare will be redundant and the various lawsuits will be rendered moot. The total has now reached 222:
The Obama Administration has quietly granted even more waivers to one provision of the new federal health reform law, doubling the number in just the last three weeks […]
VIRGINA MAY SEEK EXPEDITED OCARE RULING
Judge Henry Hudson is due to make his ruling in Commonwealth of Virginia v. Sebelius by the end of the year. Depending on how that ruling goes, Virginia’s AG is thinking about bypassing the appellate courts and taking the case straight to the Supreme Court:
The Virginia attorney general’s office is considering a petition to fast […]
UNEMPLOYMENT CHART: OBAMA’S PROMISES FOR THE STIMULUS BILL VS. ACTUAL RESULTS
According to the projections made by the White House at the time the “stimulus” legislation passed, unemployment should now be at 7%. Unfortunately for the millions of Americans who find themselves out of work, the actual unemployment figure is 9.8%. In the following chart, the blue line is what we were promised, and the brown dotted line above is […]
TOM DASCHLE ON CARE FOR SENIORS: OLD? NEED A BYPASS? GO TO HOSPICE!
Most supporters of ObamaCare simply lie about the plan to cut costs by cutting off care to the elderly. In this interview with talk radio host Steve Malzberg, Tom Daschle slipped up and told the truth.
Daschle, who was President Obama’s nominee for HHS secretary before his tax cheating was discovered, said that an 85 year old […]
OBAMACARE SUPPORTERS TRY TO POLISH … WELL … A THING THAT JUST WON’T SHINE
Since the midterms, ObamaCare supporters in the “news” media have spent a lot of time trying to convince us that the new health care law is popular. Many, for example, produced giddy articles and posts about the risible McClatchy-Marist poll that I wrote about last week.
Michael Cannon believes this is a sign that they are nervous about PPACA’s […]
ANOTHER CLINTON JUDGE RULES OBAMACARE CONSTITUTIONAL
Like his fellow Clinton appointee, George Steeh, U.S. District Judge Norman Moon has ignored the Constitution and upheld ObamaCare:
A federal judge in Virginia on Tuesday rejected a legal challenge to the healthcare reform law, the second time the law’s mandate that people buy insurance has been ruled constitutional.
Like the other Clinton judge, this hack makes the Orwellian argument […]
OBAMACARE VERSUS KIDS AND SENIORS
By now, it’s obvious to the meanest intelligence that ObamaCare rips off seniors. Some of my posts on this subject can be found here, here and here.
But, for most people, it’s less obvious that the new “reforms” will do considerable harm to children as well. Commenter “ECM” points out this in the WSJ:
One of the largest union-administered health-insurance […]
