Now that Donald Berwick has resigned, President Obama has nominated Marilyn Tavenner to replace him as Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). One wonders if she’ll get the Rick Scott treatment.
What, you ask, is Catron raving about now? Well, Rick Scott once ran a company called Hospital Corporation of America (HCA) that […]

DEM SENATOR CALLS FOR PROBE INTO OBAMA ADMINISTRATION NO-BID VACCINE CONTRACT
Last week we learned that the Obama administration gave a $433 million no-bid contract to Siga Technologies, whose controlling shareholder is a Democrat donor, to make a smallpox vaccine that may not be needed and might not work. That deal stinks so badly that even a Democrat Senator has asked for an investigation:
Sen. Claire McCaskill, […]
OBAMA AWARDS DEM DONOR A HUGE NO-BID CONTRACT FOR A DRUG WE DON’T NEED
In the fall of 2008, a certain Senator from Illinois—who also happened to be running for President—indignantly denounced the Bush administration and made the following promise to a group of gushing supporters:
I will finally end the abuse of no-bid contracts once and for all. The days of sweetheart deals for Halliburton and the like will be over […]
VIDEO: OBAMA FANTASIZES ABOUT BYPASSING CONGRESS & MAKING HIS OWN RULES
The scariest part about this extraordinary video is not Obama’s assertion. He eventually admits that this isn’t how our system works. The unnerving part is the response of the crowd. They are obvously all for it. With such supporters, how long will Obama be able to control his inner fascist?
HOW CAN YOU TELL WHEN A DEMOCRAT IS LYING?
When his lips are moving, of course.
As Milton Wolf points out in his latest Washington Times column, Obama’s shameless whopper about his own mother’s tragic cancer death is by no means the first time a prominent Democrat has told a brazen lie to the voters. Wolf begins by reminding us of this stretcher from Senator John Kerry:
I […]
OBAMACARE WAIVER TOTAL NEARS 1,500
In mid-June the Obama administration announced that it would soon stop issuing ObamaCare waivers. They did, however, add the caveat that the transparently corrupt scam would continue until September.
This was presumably a warning to the rest of their cronies to get with the program or join the remainder of the country in adhering to what the Obots tell us is […]
VIDEO: THE SENATE SPEECH THAT KILLED OBAMACARE’S “SECRET SHOPPER” PROGRAM
This afternoon, HHS announced it would kill the secret shopper program. The apparatchiks claim that the decision was the result of careful review of “feedback received during the comment period,” but the obvious reason was the uproar caused the NYT piece noted in this post and this floor speech by Republican Senator Mark Kirk:
AMA STILL SUPPORTS OBAMACARE AS ITS MEMBERSHIP SHRINKS
As has been discussed here often, the AMA pursued a collaboration strategy on ObamaCare in exchange for an empty promise from the Democrats to fix the broken Medicare payment system. The AMA leadership was played for chumps.
The Dems, as I and many others predicted, failed to keep their side of the bargain. Nonetheless, the quislings who run the […]
YOUR TAX DOLLARS ARE PAYING FOR MORE OBAMACARE ADS
Oh, you don’t want your money used to pimp a program that you don’t support? Still pissed off about AnDy Griffith’s grotesque propaganda last year? Tough!
The Obama administration is kicking off a nationwide ad campaign urging seniors to take advantage of free preventive services such as cancer screenings made possible in Medicare by the new […]
OBAMACARE WAIVERS TO STOP IN TIME FOR ELECTION
The ObamaCare waivers that have caused so much controversy, not to mention violating the Constitution, will end next September:
Removing a potential political distraction ahead of next year’s elections, the Obama administration Friday announced an early end to a health care waiver program that has come under fire from congressional Republicans.
But it has nothing to do […]
