One of the most irritating ironies of the ongoing health reform debate is that the advocates of government-run health care claim to be in possession of the high moral ground. In this clip, Beth Haynes, M.D., of the Benjamin Rush Society, explains why that is false and shows that individual liberty and free markets provide [...]
James C. Capretta of the American Enterprise Institute outlines the genuine health that should be put in place once the voters have kicked out Obama and repealed the monstrosity known as ObamaCare: 1) Defined contributions 2) Continuous & uninterrupted coverage 3) Tax reforms for individuals & employers 4) Premium support for Medicare 5) Private insurance [...]
On Thursday, the Supreme Court will hand down its ruling on the constitutionality of the ironically titled “Affordable Care Act.” If you’re a young adult, you’d better hope they strike it down. ObamaCare actually raises the cost of your health care if you’re under 30. Watch this video and then go outside and scrape that [...]
I’ve been up to my neck in alligators all week, so I missed this. At the beginning of the week, Obama’s reelection team released an ad listing the President’s “accomplishments.” The list, however, has a singularly glaring omission: It notably does not mention his signature legislative achievement — the Affordable Care Act. Yep. That’s right. [...]
Another video from Jill Vecchio. In this one, she his discusses a set of ideas that collectively amount to GENUINE health care reform. Our alleged President insists that no one opposing Obamacare has suggested a better alternative. That’s horse manure, of course, and this is just one example of many that would actually accomplish good things without [...]
More evidence that Newt Gingrich has been on the wrong side of every aspect of the health care debate. In this video, from a discussion with congressional staffers in 2003, he compares the government’s role in health care to that which it played in building the interstate highway system … sigh. [ht Breitbart]
The latest Kaiser health tracking poll shows that fewer Americans favor ObamaCare than ever. Even more startling, the latest decline was driven by Democrats: The October health tracking poll finds a more negative overall public mood about the health reform law, driven largely by changes in support for the law among Democrats. Democrats? Yep, a 20% dive in [...]
There’s a reason why ObamaCare and RomneyCare bear a close family resemblance. They share the same parents. During 2009, when ObamaCare was conceived, Romney’s people and Obama’s people were spending a lot of time together: White House visitor logs obtained by NBC News revealed that three of Romney’s healthcare advisers had up to a dozen meetings with senior [...]
In a comment on the preceding post about Herman Cain, “Milla” asks (in reference to single-payer health care), “Do you have a better solution?” As a matter of fact, I do. Or, rather, Congressman Paul Ryan does. Here he is explaining it in speech to the Hoover Institution at Stanford University: Because Ryan is a serious [...]
It has been 5 years since Mitt Romney signed the Massachusetts universal coverage bill into law. And, although most people in the state now have “coverage,” the health “reform” law has been a miserable failure at controlling costs: Massachusetts’ uninsured rate plunged to the lowest in the nation … At the same time, health care premiums continued [...]
