Predictably, Barack Obama’s pregame show was not only cheesy and trite, it contained a number of hopelessly implausible claims about his health care plan:
My health care plan includes improving information technology, requires coverage for preventive care and pre-existing conditions and lowers health care costs for the typical family by $2,500 a year.
I think not.
His plan does not […]
Not satisfied with his egregious misrepresentation of John McCain’s Medicare proposal, Barack Obama has deployed another whopper about how McCain’s health care tax credit would compare to employer-based insurance:
This morning, we were offered a stunning bit of straight talk – an October surprise – from [McCain’s] top economic advisor, who actually said that the health […]
The other day I did a post on the attempt to toss out military ballots in Virginia. Attorney General Bob McDonnell put a halt to that skulduggery, but no one has explained why a Democrat hack from Ohio is counting votes in Virginia.
The primary figure in the vote-tossing scam is one Rokey Suleman, Fairfax County General Registrar. This character, […]
George Will’s latest column is about a last ditch effort in Arizona to stop our long slide toward government-run health care:
On Election Day, Arizonans can give the nation the gift of a good example. They can enact a measure that could shape the health care debate that will arrest or accelerate the nation’s slide into statism. […]
Today’s WSJ exposes the cynicism of Barack Obama’s main health care advisors, Jason Furman and David Cutler, who executed neat pirouettes on health policy after signing on with “the One.”
Before becoming an Obamaton, Furman was a vocal advocate for very type of reforms that John McCain proposes to make in the employer-based insurance system:
When President Bush unveiled a health reform […]
Remember back in 2000, when Al Gore attempted to steal Florida by tossing out legitmate military absentee ballots? Well, a group of Obamatons in Virginia are at it again. Per the Virginian Pilot:
State officials confirmed Thursday that they’ve instructed local registrars to set aside any vote submitted on a federally furnished write-in ballot unless the ballot includes both […]
One reason some pollsters show Obama with implausibly wide leads over McCain is that they have adjusted their normal demographic assumptions in anticipation of a surge in participation by first time and young voters. There’s only one problem with this, as Gallup reports:
Gallup finds 13% of registered voters saying they will vote for president for the first time in 2008. That […]
While Barack Obama runs for President on an ostensibly ”moderate” health care reform proposal, his accomplice Ted Kennedy is busy putting together the actual program they plan to shove down our throats:
From his sickbed, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy has secretly been orchestrating meetings with lobbyists and lawmakers from both parties to craft legislation that would greet the […]
Since 1980 about 2,000 community hospitals have closed. Lincoln Park Hospital is the latest, and the CEO lists the causes:
A higher than anticipated level of uncompensated care (charity care, Medicaid reimbursements) that has resulted in an unprofitable hospital, regulators imposing facility upgrades that are extremely costly and not feasible given our existing financial state, and the credit […]
Advocates of socialized medicine often cite “equality” as a major advantage of their preferred health care delivery model. Recently, however, the NHS demonstrated that some patients will be more equal than others when government bureaucrats run the system.
An NHS trust has spent more than £12,000 on private treatment for hospital staff because its own waiting times are too long.
In […]
