It could hardly be more obvious that the President and his Democrat accomplices have dropped a twenty megaton bomb on Medicare. ObamaCare strips $500 billion from the program and effectively kills its most popular iteration—Medicare Advantage. Why? Milton Wolf provides the answer in his latest Washington Times column:
The president’s intentions are chillingly clear: ‘I happen […]

HEALTH CARE “REFORM” IS TO MEDICARE AS ENOLA GAY WAS TO HIROSHIMA
OBAMACARE CONTAINS NO WAIVER PROVISION
Yep. You read that correctly. The Department of Health & Human Services has granted nearly 1,400 ObamaCare waivers despite the fact that the “reform” law contains no provision permitting it to do so:
Language granting HHS that power was never in the original law.
So, where exactly did HHS get the authority to exempt hundreds of unions […]
PALIN PUNKS POMPOUS PUNDITS … AGAIN
This has nothing to do with health care, but the schadenfreude was too sweet to pass up. Lefty bloggers, journalists and the rest of the establishment media keep telling us how dumb Sarah Palin is, and yet she keeps demonstrating that she is far better informed than they on a variety of subjects. The latest example […]
WHY KAGAN MUST RECUSE HERSELF WHEN SCOTUS HEARS OBAMACARE CASES
This is the only course of action open to an honest justice. No matter how many whoppers she and her masters in the White House tell, she was clearly involved in orchestrating the administration’s strategy for fighting the ObamaCare challenges. In fact, she assigned at least one of the DOJ lawyers to the defense team—Neal […]
ACO: AN ACRONYM FOR BIG BROTHER
Paul Hsieh’s latest column for the Christian Science Monitor provides a great metaphor for ObamaCare’s top-down, centrally-controlled health care model:
Suppose President Obama declared he would tackle rising food prices by forcing everyone to eat at government-supervised restaurant chains. Small restaurants would be nudged to merge with national ones. Bureaucrats would monitor menu items and prices. […]
OBAMA DOJ TELLS SCOTUS THAT MEDICAID PATIENTS LACK LEGAL RIGHT TO SUE GOVT
One of the ways ObamaCare will “cover” the uninsured is by herding about 18 million people onto Medicaid. But the health care “reform” law doesn’t provide enough money to the states to pay for all these new enrollees. So, the states will increasingly have to cut provider payment rates.
This means that most of the “newly […]
IS CAIN ABLE?
A lot of political professionals have dismissed Herman Cain, but another poll of actual voters suggests that the pros are wrong (again). The latest Public Policy Polling survey shows Cain tied for second among Iowa Republicans:
Romney tops with 21% over Palin’s and Cain’s 15%, Gingrich’s 12%, Bachmann’s 11%, Pawlenty’s 10%, Paul’s 8%, and Huntsman with almost […]
