ObamaCare Inch by Inch
ObamaCare, HillaryCare, national health care, universal health care and single payer are all euphemisms that have been used for socialized medicine.
Why all the euphemisms? It’s because socialized medicine has been a abject failure and has never been able to deliver on its advertised promise of better health care for less. In fact, the hallmark of socialized medicine is just the opposite. It delivers less quality health care and the costs skyrocket with every passing year until. . . rationing is imposed.
Some of you are under the notion that we dodged a bullet with ObamaCare, that the so-called “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” left the president far from his initial goal. Read the rest of this entry »
Obama’s kinder, gentler “Death Panels”
Truth is in short supply in Washington.
That is why recent statements made by Donald Berwick, President Obama’s Nominee to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, are both refreshing and chilling.

And every senior should know there is no cutting of your guaranteed Medicare benefits. Period. No “ifs,” “ands,” or “buts.” This proposal makes Medicare stronger. It makes the coverage better and it makes the finances more secure.
Health Care and the Scraggly Broom
Everyone needs a broom. It’s a basic cleaning instrument. Cleanliness is important to one’s overall health and well-being. Therefore, everyone should have a “right” to an effective broom.
All brooms are not equal. Some brooms are too heavy. Other brooms are too light. Still, others are too thin to do an adequate job. The good citizens of the United States of America demand broom standards.
Congress begins crafting a bill. Brooms must be made to accommodate Americans of various weights and heights. Also, brooms must be light enough to be operated by the weak and infirm. The lobbying continues. One group demands that the straw be “odder free.” Another group wants the broom manufacturers to certify that the brooms are made of “all natural” materials. Still, another wants to set the wages and benefits for the workers in the broom manufacturing industry. Read the rest of this entry »
