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, [...]
As I pointed out last Friday in the American Spectator, the HHS contraception mandate is little more than a political payoff to Big Pharma. And judging from the “revision” to the mandate issued by HHS on the same day, the fix is still in. As Yuval Levin at NRO phrases it: It doesn’t actually exempt [...]
In today’s American Spectator I point out that the HHS contraception mandate is nothing more than a payoff to Big Pharma for its support of Obamacare: Why would the Obama administration, having won the legislative struggle to get Obamacare passed and fought a brutal legal battle to prevent it from being overturned by the Supreme [...]
Yesterday I wrote a piece for the American Spectator about the illigal IRS rule that would allow Beltway bureaucrats to illegally funnel money through federal insurance exchanges. This bureaucratic fiat has alarmed two congressional representatives enough to introduce a bill to stop it: Representatives Scott DesJarlais, MD, (R-Tenn.) and Phil Roe, MD, (R-Tenn.), have introduced [...]
In today’s American Spectator, I discuss the latest skulduggery the Obama administration has been up to with regard to PPACA: Recently I wrote that the states could kill Obamacare by refusing to implement its insurance exchanges. This strategy would be effective because the survival of PPACA depends on the ability of Beltway bureaucrats to dole [...]
This movement against the Obama administration’s anti-conscience mandate may, in the end, have a more profound effect on the election than the recent decision by the Supreme Court. It’s not just Catholics anymore: Today Wheaton College filed a lawsuit alongside The Catholic University of America in the Washington, D.C. District Court opposing the Health and Human Services [...]
My column in today’s American Spectator discusses the coordinated nationwide legal action taken against the Obama admininistration by dozens of Catholic organizations (in twelve seperate lawsuits): If the President and his apparatchiks at HHS thought the outrage voiced by various cardinals, bishops, and countless lay Catholics over the anti-conscience mandate was mere bluster, they got [...]
As I wrote the other day in AmSpec, the Obama regime is attempting hide its deep Medicare Advantage cuts with an $8 billion “demonstration project” that will prop up its benefits and keep down its co-pays until after the election. The GAO and MedPAC have publically called for HHS to shut down the transparent fraud [...]
For those of you who believe that all the warnings I and many others have repeatedly issued about health care rationing under ObamaCare amount to nothing more than scare-mongering, I recommend this eye-opener from Dr. Hal Scherz: CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services) is notifying doctors about overutilization of services. My partners and I were among [...]
Obama and his HHS Commissar are moving forward with their anti-conscience mandate, despite widespread discontent about its requirement that religiously affiliated employers pay for contraception and sterlization procedures that conflict with their own beliefs and teachings: Officials at the Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS), Labor, and the Treasury today took the next step in [...]
