My latest column for the American Spectator takes a closer look at the President’s harebrained scheme to “control costs” by making Granny skip her meds. He wants Medicare to negotiate (i.e. dictate) prices to the drug companies: Like all price-control schemes, this would inevitably lead to shortages. If Medicare forces the drug companies to sell their products at [...]
Oh, did you think those doctors we saw writing fraudulent sick notes were actually going to suffer serious consequences for their unprofessional and dishonest behavior? Wrong! UW Health doctors who wrote sick notes for protesters at the Capitol in February face penalties up to a loss of pay and leadership positions, the UW School of [...]
We recently learned from a new AP poll that public support for ObamaCare is down to 35%, the lowest level it has reached since its passage last year. So how is the Obama administration planning to respond? Why, with a brainwashing campaign, of course. Pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, Judicial Watch recently obtained documents from [...]
Obama long ago adopted the tactic of appointing policy “czars,” including one for health care (Nancy-Ann DeParle), to perform cabinet-type functions without having to bother with the advice and consent of Congress for such appointees. Now, he has made his power grab even worse by issuing a signing statement to the effect that he will ignore [...]
My latest column for the American Spectator explores the similarities between the ObamaCare waivers and the royal dispensations that were declared illegal in England more than two centuries ago: Obama does not, of course, call his targeted exemptions from the rigors of Obamacare “dispensations.” He and his courtiers at the Department of Health & Human [...]
For anyone who might still be wondering why the MSM has been so reluctant to tell the ugly truth about ObamaCare, I offer this modest theory—they are being paid off: Two mainstream news organizations are receiving hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars from Obamacare’s Early Retiree Reinsurance Program … The Washington Post Company raked in [...]
By now, everyone in tha galaxy knows that the Obama administration issued a new batch of ObamaCare waivers to its political cronies on Friday (nearly half of the recent batch of 128 went to unions). Everyone with any sense of ethics understands that the waivers are indicative of an utterly corrupt administration, but not many have raised [...]
Dr. Boustany is the new Chairman of the Ways & Means Oversight Subcommittee and he opened today’s hearing with a useful summary of why Americans, particularly seniors, should be concerned about the activities and motives of AARP: AARP has morphed into an insurance and advertising powerhouse. According to the most recent data we have, AARP, Inc. and its for-profit [...]
My latest column for the American Spectator discusses the betrayal of seniors by the AARP and the upcoming congressional hearing to which its principals have been summoned: The unholy alliance between AARP and the Democrats on ObamaCare has not been lost on the new Republican majority in the House. Two members of the Ways and Means [...]
Milton Wolf’s latest column for the Washington Times points out that Wisconsin Democrats, like their counterparts from Indiana, Texas and inside the Beltway, are cowards: Wisconsin state Senate Democrats cowering under their beds in an Illinois no-tell motel … Indiana Democrats also turned Hoosier tail and ran to Illinois … In 2003, Texas Democrats went yellow [...]
