In today’s American Spectator, I discuss the new cuts to Medicare Advantage proposed by the Obama administration. No, I’m not talking about the $200 billion Obamacare cuts that have been so controversial. These are brand new cuts that CMS unveiled a couple of weeks ago: If President Obama’s rhetoric on domestic policy can be said [...]
In today’s American Spectator I discuss the whining of Shadowfax, a long-time advocate of government-run healthcare who has just figured out that it is “arbitrary and disconnected from reality”: When I began writing about the menace of increased federal involvement in our medical delivery system, I was surprised to discover that some doctors actually supported [...]
This has received a lot of play, but it gets a lot its “facts” wrong. For example, it misses the most important difference between hospitals and free-standing surgery centers. The former are more expensive because hospitals are required by federal law to take all comers. It also compares hospital list price to actual payment received [...]
In today’s American Spectator I lament my decision to leave my patented BS Detector on during the President’s speech to last week’s AARP convention. His whoppers about ObamaCare and the Romney-Ryan Medicare plan came so fast and furious that they fried the machine’s circuits: I probably should have turned it off after observing its reaction [...]
In today’s American Spectator I debunk the brazen lies told at the Democratic National Convention about the Ryan plan for salvaging Medicare: He and Democrat Ron Wyden have proposed a package of reforms that combine free market competition with premium support that is so eminently sensible it has attracted more bipartisan accolades than any plan [...]
On “Situation Room” DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz offers no credible response to Wolf Blitzer’s questions concerning the transparent lies she and her accomplices have been telling about the Romney-Ryan plan to fix Medicare. It’s good to see Wolf do his job for a change. [ht Breitbart]
As soon as it became known that Paul Ryan was Romney’s pick for VP, the White House and its media lickspittles attempted to depict him as some sort of monster who wanted to take Granny’s health care away. Well, it looks like seniors aren’t quite as dumb as the President thinks they are: In Florida, [...]
In a speech today, Paul Ryan accused the President of using Medicare as a piggybank for Obamacare (the White House has already raided Medicare and siphoned more than $700 million from the program). He also discusses IPAB, the 15-member Obamacare rationing board that will decide who receives care and who does not:
Falling in with the party line on Paul Ryan’s Medicare plan, HHS Commissar Sebelius repeats the idiot canard about “ending Medicare as we know it.” She fails mention that “Medicare as we know it” is going to go broke soon and that neither she nor her boss have put forward any serious plan to save [...]
The White House and its MSM lickspittles want you to believe that Paul Ryan wants to destroy Medicare. As I wrote in my most recent AmSpec column, however, it’s Obama and his congressional accomplices who seniors should fear. As this video makes clear, they have already raided Medicare to pay for ObamaCare. [ht Hot Air]
