I guess the American Medical Association is determined to drive its membership down to some point even lower than the 17% of practicing physicians remaining in the group. Its latest self-destructive tactic is to join the global warming hysterics:
In a Thursday conference call with reporters, the heads of the American Medical Association (AMA) and the American Public Health Association […]

THE AMA JOINS THE WARMISM SCAM
BERWICK BITES THE DUST?
It sounds too good to be true, but that seems to be what’s in wind. According to Politico, Senate Democrats are about to throw in the towel on Obama’s recess-appointed CMS administrator:
Senate Democrats have given up on confirming Don Berwick as CMS administrator … a person familiar with the situation said Senate Democrats and the White […]
VIDEO: HHS SECRETARY ADMITS TO DOUBLE-COUNTING ON OBAMACARE FUNDING
Since ObamaCare passed, congressional Democrats and the White House have claimed that $500 billion in Medicare cuts will help balance the Medicare budget AND help pay for “reform.” This is, of course, not possible.
It can be used for one or the other, but it can’t be used for both. During a hearing of the House Energy and Commerce […]
VIDEO: SEBELIUS ADMITS CLASS ACT IS A FRAUD IN NEED OF REPEAL OR REFORM
The CLASS Act (i.e. the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports Act), according to its supporters, is a provision of ObamaCare that “sets up an insurance system for long-term care for the disabled and elderly.” Among people who can count, however, it is known as “a fraud.”

VINSON FAILS TO APPLY THE TWO-BY-FOUR
In my latest American Spectator column, I discuss Judge Roger Vinson’s surprising decision to stay his own January ruling and question whether the government mule will ever stop its obstinate behavior without the firm application of a two-by-four to the beasts’s occiput.
Vinson makes it clear that he was not taken in by the pretext behind the DOJ’s motion to clarify […]
WASHINGTON GOV. GREGOIRE ENTERS BRIEF AGAINST HER OWN AG IN OBAMACARE LAWSUIT
This is getting weirder by the minute. First, the DOJ pesters U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson with a motion to “clarify” a ruling that he took 78 pages to explain. Now, we get Washington Governor Christine Gregoire filing an “Amicus Memorandum in Support of Continuing Implementation of the Affordable Care Act in the State of Washington.”
Never heard of such a […]
VIDEO: SENATOR HATCH CALLS OBAMACARE AN “AWFUL PIECE OF CRAP”
I couldn’t have said it better myself. And despite the scatological language, he was actually making a useful point about using states as laboratories for health reform rather than imposing a solution from inside the Beltway:
Every state has different demographics, every state has different problems. It’s good to allow them to work out their own […]
