As I have pointed out before, the one health care position John McCain and Barack Obama have in common is their wrong-headed support of prescription drug reimportation. It appears, however, that both candidates may be waking up:
Barack Obama and John McCain are reviewing their support for allowing individuals to import cheaper prescription drugs in light of tainted medicines and […]
As it happens, I’m not very religious. I do, however, respect those for whom religion is important. And, as any informed observer knows, this group includes many of our greatest leaders—-past and present.
On the other hand, I have nothing but contempt for people who combine smugness, faux-secularism, and historical ignorance. As the following video demonstrates, this group includes Charlie Gibson:
What […]
While head inquisitor Hollis French waited in vain for Todd Palin to appear for his show trial, ABC News was trying its best to breath new life into the sham troopergate investigation:
An internal government document obtained by ABC News appears to contradict Sarah Palin’s most recent explanation for why she fired her public safety chief, the move which […]
While participating in a debate about universal health care, Paul Krugman apparently wanted to demonstrate how happy Canadians are with their health care system. So, he decided to involve the audience in the discussion, with the following result:
PAUL KRUGMAN
And private insurance? That’s the thing, I— Actually, can I just —I wanted to ask a question. And—
JOHN […]
Barack Obama is not the only one lying about John McCain’s health care reform plan. Many of his supporters in the establishment media and blogosphere are being equally mendacious. An illustrative example is the following assertion by Joe Klein:
John McCain wants to tax your employer-provided health care benefits. He wants to replace those benefits with an insufficient tax […]
Among the canards promulgated by Barack Obama’s increasingly desperate presidential campaign is that John McCain has gone through a sudden and shocking metamorphosis. The ”once-principled” Republican (i.e. one willing to supinely accept defeat) has somehow become a pathological liar.
This nonsense is, of course, being robotically repeated by all of the usual Obamatons. Yet, with the laudable exception of Andrew Sullivan, none of these people seem to notice any of Obama’s stretchers. […]
Although we can safely disregard the WSJ piece by David Cutler and Brad DeLong on Obama’s health care plan, there is an excellent article on the plan in Health Affairs, and its conclusion is not flattering:
It greatly increases the federal regulation of private insurance but does not address the core economic incentives that drive health care […]
The tide is turning on the Obama partisans who concocted the “troopergate” fraud. In addition to Governor Palin’s refusal to particpate and the lawsuit filed by Alaska legislators to stop it, Alaska’s AG has put them on notice:
Alaska’s attorney general says state employees subpoenaed in the investigation of Gov. Sarah Palin will not testify. In a letter to […]
Today promises much toil for a blogger dedicated to cleaning the Augean Stables of the health care reform dabate. I guess a good place to begin shoveling is the steaming pile of BS deposited by David Cutler and Brad DeLong in the WSJ.
An important part of their argument for the superiority of Barack Obama’s health care plan involves the claim that Obama will cure U.S. […]
When “the uninsured crisis” is covered in the news media, the stories always insinuate that vast hordes of people are doing without coverage because they can’t afford it. The reality is, however, quite different.
In fact, as Devon Herrick of the National Center for Policy Analysis points out, the fastest-growing segment of the uninsured population has been upper-income […]
