In a recent GOP debate Rick Santorum rather heatedly explained why giving Romney the nomination would be tantamount to surrendering the high ground on ObamaCare. The former Massachusetts governor responded thus: ‘First of all, it’s not worth getting angry about.’ In his latest column for the Washington Times, Dr. Milton Wolf begs to differ:
For the […]

DR. MILTON WOLF: OBAMACARE IS DEFINITELY WORTH GETTING ANGRY OVER
NO DAYLIGHT BETWEEN ROMNEY & OBAMA ON HEALTH CARE
Watch this video and tell me that Romney has any prayer of winning a debate with Obama on health care reform. The two might as well be twins. This means that giving Romney the GOP presidential nomination is, as Rick Santorum pointed out in last Thursday’s debate, tantamount to surrendering on ObamaCare:

DEBATE VIDEO: SANTORUM HAMMERS ROMNEY ON MASSACHUSETTS MANDATE
Rick Santorum explains ObamaCare’s importance to the GOP’s strategy in the general election and why Romney can’t effectively make the case for repeal. Santorum pointed out that RomneyCare provided the blueprint for Obama’s plan and addeed:
Folks, we can’t give this issue away in this election. It is about fundamental freedom.
Giving the GOP presidential nomination to Romney will indeed amount to […]
DEBATE VIDEO: SANTORUM CALLS OBAMACARE THE BIGGEST ISSUE OF THE ELECTION
Santorum used ObamaCare to define himself as the only genuine conservative in the race by describing the histories of Romney and Gingrich as fair weather conservatives who caved on health reform:
The biggest issue we have to deal with in this election that’s crushing the economy, will crush it even further and crush freedom … that’s […]
VIDEO: THE JUSTICE WHO KNEW TOO MUCH
Last July, I wrote a column for the American Spectator about Elena Kagan’s conflict of interest where ObamaCare is concerned. Since then, more damning information has come out about her involvement in preparing the legal defense of PPACA. In this video, Michael Ostrolenk interviews Carrie Severino, Policy Director of the Judicial Crisis Network, about their new report: […]
DEBATE VIDEO: ROMNEY & GINGRICH DEFEND THEIR SUPPORT OF INSURANCE MANDATES
In tonight’s GOP debate, Perry called out Mitt and Newt on their support for insurance mandates. Romney defended his position based on the 10th Amendment and Newt defended his support on the fact that many conservatives proposed it in the 1990’s as an alternative to HillaryCare:

VIDEO: GINGRICH ENDORSES MANDATES
Yesterday, I wrote in the American Spectator that Newt Gingrich has been on the wrong side of too many crucial health care debates. In this video, from a discussion in 2005, he endorses insurance mandates.
He begins with a bit of his trademark stream-of-consciousness maundering about the need for 100% coverage if we want proper preventive care in […]
NEWT’S HEALTH PROBLEMS
In today’s American Spectator, I discuss Gingrich’s foot-in-mouth disease as it relates to health care. He has been on the wrong side of every important reform controversy. He has even praised the egregious Donald Berwick:
Don Berwick at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement has worked for years to spread the word that the same systematic approach to quality control […]
ABOUT THOSE “FRIVOLOUS” OCARE LAWSUITS
Remember when the lawsuits filed against ObamaCare were just “frivolous” PR stunts? I guess SCOTUS disagrees. In today’s American Spectator, I discuss yesterday’s Supreme Court decision to hear arguments on four specific issues raised by the various plaintiffs:
Does Congress possess the power to enact the individual mandate?
Is the individual mandate severable from the rest of the law?
Does the Anti-Injunction Act […]
SUPREME COURT TO CONSIDER OBAMACARE CASES ON NOVEMBER 10TH
When the U.S. Supreme Court is in session, certain days are set aside for esoteric onferences during which the justices discuss cases they might decide to hear. On Novemeber 10, the justices will consider 5 seperate petitions for certiorari relating to ObamaCare. As Lyle Denniston at SCOTUSBlog points out:
Although a grant of review is not […]
