Obamacare in one (long) sentence
Summed up rather neatly by a congressional hopeful in Illinois. (Considering how easy it is for federal pols to legally get wealthy these days, who wouldn’t want to be a congressional hopeful?) “We are going to be gifted with a health care plan that we are forced to purchase, and fined if we don’t, which [...]

Happy Dependence Day, sheeple
Independence Day? Ha! Used to be, but it sure ain’t any more. It’s not even close to the way it was when it all started back in 1776 when Americans had the highest incomes and the lowest taxes in the civilized world. These days it’s high unemployment, higher taxes on the way and just one [...]

Aiding the Mexican economy
Just one of Obamacare’s unintended consequences. A Passing Parade reprise. Ross Perot’s 1992 giant sucking sound soon will be “the sound of Grandma going to one of the scores of new hospitals in Tijuana, Nogales, and Ciudad Juarez that will cater to Americans getting around the restrictions of ObamaCare. Yes indeed, the President’s health care plan [...]

Behind Uncle Barry’s warning to the Supremes
“The president and his followers want to be able to labor on our behalf, and to make all of our important decisions. Many of them, like their European counterparts, firmly believe this is the best way to achieve the common good. “Others are driven by disgust with contemporary America and the American people, and see [...]

Beggars In Spain
This first of a Nancy Kress sci-fi classic trilogy could as readily be titled Beggars In Dallas, even though it was only a metaphor in the first place. Some of the rest of the book, despite its focus on genetic enhancements, has a sort of outdated feel to it, as well. Well, it was written [...]

Memo to the Titanic
I’m trying to ignore our ignoble politics, wishing a pox on both parties. So I think the best way to deal with this weekend’s takeover of the health-care system is to ignore it. But the Seablogger’s take is just too good to miss (including the title above): “I am a cancer patient, and I would [...]

The Doc In The Box
I’m glad to see these retail-ish medical clinics, which are very popular in Austin, are proliferating. But I’m surprised to see there’s only 1,200 plus across the country. They are pretty cheap and they really do give the lie to the supposed need for Obamacare. Even the illegal hoards the Dems want to insure (so [...]

Goodbye health insurance, hello FEMA
“…the most basic human right, the right to bargain in a free marketplace.” –from The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein Mrs. Charm insists that we’ll still keep our health insurance under Obamacare. But it’s becoming obvious that is not the plan. The Dems want us all to report to FEMA, or [...]

Hatin’ on Obamacare
The latest hater? Jeffrey S. Flier, the dean of Harvard Medical School, who says it is not real reform because it will only increase costs, not improve quality and, worse: “Ultimately, our capacity to innovate and develop new therapies would suffer most of all.” Stuff like this really beautiful new result: A one-shot gene therapy [...]
