If The Government Can’t Get Medicare Right…
Here’s something I’ve had trouble understanding from the start. Government already has one health care solution that it provides: Medicare. How is it doing?
Who’s Right on Healthcare?
One of the trouble with numbers is that with the size of the numbers that were being thrown around the other day at the health care debate was that it’s extremely difficult to tell who is using the right numbers and what the truth is. President Obama uses numbers that back up his argument, and [...]
Congress Really Doesn’t Care If It’s Constitutional
When a person is brought into an office in the Federal Government– from the President down to the Senators and Congressmen– they are administered an oath of office that includes upholding and defending the Constitution. And it seems that’s the last time that they actually think about it. After that oath, everything becomes all about [...]
Big Bird Takes Mrs. Obama To Task
Poking fun at our First Lady by dubbing over Sesame Street characters, this video is good for a laugh.
You Must Buy This, Or Else!!
Can the Federal Government of the United States force anyone to buy a good or service? That’s the big underlying question in the Health Care Debate that our Representatives in the House and Senate refuse to comment on other than assuming that they have the authority. They assume that they can do whatever they please. [...]
Defending the 10th Amendment
I bet you didn’t know it needed defending? The Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. This is a statement made by the Federal Government about the [...]
Are You Going to Get the H1N1 Flu Shot?
My wife is pregnant with our fourth child. That puts us close to first in line for the H1N1 flu vaccine—only with the conflicting stories that we hear, we’re currently favoring taking a pass.
Health Care Insurance: Thinking Outside the Box
In American life there are a number of different “insurances” that one can or has to purchase. Life Insurance: Based on your age and health you are insurance for a certain dollar amount against your death. Auto Insurance: Based on the car’s age and replacement value, you are insurance a certain dollar amount against damage [...]
Florida Democrat Claims To Know GOP Health Plan
On Tuesday night, Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) brought three poster boards with what he claimed was the Republican plan for health care. It had three points—though someone should have reviewed them before he presented them, as #2 was just a lead in to #3 and should have been #2. In any case, the plan he [...]
When is a Lie a Lie?
Two individuals were engaged in name calling, but only one has been forced to apologize. The question I have is not the decorum question, but the question is “Who’s right?” You see, when you call something a lie or a person a liar, you’re making a statement that should be verifiable, one way or the [...]
Who’s Worse? The Congressman or the Insurance Companies?
In what felt more like a State of the Union Speech than one on policy, President Obama stood before a joint session of Congress to talk to those gathered and the nation—at least, those that weren’t tuned in elsewhere—about what he envisions health care insurance to look like under his plan. A few observations:
How the Health Care Mess Could All Go Away
Let it never be said that I don’t try to be helpful. After giving this whole thing careful thought, I think that the easiest way that President Obama could get out of this whole mess about health care is to propose a unique solution. But not just any solution, but a few solutions—and the way [...]
The Health Care Debate
The group that was behind the Loose Change video—those that think that the government was behind the 9/11 attacks, that it wasn’t really airplanes—are now out with another mission. Health Care. Like most of this kind of thing, there’s grains of truth and it’ll play to your suspicions, but does it pass the sniff test?
ABC Responds
Responding to critics in the Republican party that claimed ABC was not being fair in holding it’s ABC World News broadcast inside the White House without a single opposing view point voiced, ABC says, “Don’t worry about it, we’re above all this partisan politics:
