In today’s American Spectator, I discuss the gradual disintegration of Obamacare and the growing frustration of its advocates with Obama and the bureaucrats who are supposed to be implementing the monstrosity: I recently came across a post in Time’s Swampland blog titled, “Obamacare Incompetence” … It seems that Joe Klein, a usually reliable Democrat hack, [...]
If so, I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn you might be interested in purchasing. To quote one of Michael Barone’s readers (via PJ Tattler), whose 35 years of IT experience provides the kind of insight required to understand the complexity of the task: The federal government is going to build 50 exchanges, using a data [...]
Before the era of Obamacare, it was well-known among the informed that a significant percentage of the fabled uninsured were eligible for Medicaid and other types of assistance, but were just too lazy to apply. What do you think these people are going to do when confronted with this bureaucrat-spawned morass?
My column in today’s American Spectator discusses the possibility that the states can cause ObamaCare to die on the vine by refusing to set up its insurance exchanges: Although the voters can put an end to the madness on November 6, the states don’t need to wait until Election Day to take aim at ObamaCare’s [...]

If this Obama shill is worried, it should scare the living daylights out of you. In this clip he provides a surprisinngly coherent and succinct explanation concerning why the HHS edict undermines the moral authority of the Catholic church: [ht Breitbart]
Senator Rubio not only explains in clear irrefutable English why this outrageous bureaucratic fiat is a brazen attack on liberty and the First Amendment. He then explains it in clear irrefutable Spanish. Why isn’t this guy running for President?
David Hogberg at Investor’s Business Daily reports another unpleasant ObamaCare surprise: A new Obama administration rule could drive out of the market the low-cost, high deductible plans that are supposed to be available under ObamaCare. Obama’s bureaucrats have been creative with PPACA’s MLR rules: High-deductible plans, sometimes coupled with a tax-free health savings account to help [...]
My column in today’s American Spectator discusses a new federal regulation that will profoundly change your relationship with government and eliminate what vestiges of personal privacy you still enjoy: The new regulation … requires insurance companies to submit detailed health information about their patients to the HHS mother ship.
