Since when does religious freedom equal the freedom for religions to control the lives of people, even people who don’t believe in their religion? Religious freedom is the freedom for people (not corporations as people, not churches as people, but real people) to practice whatever religion they please, without interference from the government. So how […]
An interesting opinion piece in the New York Times predicts that a little known provision of the health care reform act will mean that American health insurance companies will go the way of the dinosaurs by the year 2020. The provision in question sets up Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), which are paid not for preforming […]
The Republicans have managed to frame public opinion about Obama with the constant media noise about how he hasn’t accomplished anything. It doesn’t matter that the Republicans have filibustered just about everything Obama does, but that hasn’t stopped the media from convincing former Obama supporters to feel betrayed by him. For example, the LA Times […]
Speaking at a Christian college in Iowa, presidential candidate Rick Santorum was asked an interesting question by a student. Citing a study from Harvard University, the student asked if “God appreciates the fact that we have 50 to 100 thousand uninsured Americans dying due to a lack of healthcare every year.” “Dying?” he countered. “I […]
A comic and commentary from Ed Stein: © Ed Stein Surprise! Health insurance went up again this year , at many times the inflation rate. A family of four now must spend more than $15,000 for health insurance. By the time deductibles and co-pays are factored in, who but the rich can afford it if […]
© Jen Sorensen What I don’t get is that if Ron Paul wants everyone to chip in to help out people who have medical problems, why wouldn’t he just want the government to do it? Isn’t that somewhat the whole point of government — to provide things like education, police, defense, roads and other things […]
Most of its provisions have not even gone into effect yet, but according to Forbes there is solid proof that Obama’s health insurance reform is already working. One of the major goals of reform was to reduce the number of people without health care insurance, and in the first quarter of 2011 alone at least […]
This comic is from June 1952. I guess the Tea Party has been around for a while.
Now all countries with a AAA credit rating have universal health care.
Democratic Senator Max Backus is a hypocrite: Back when he presided over the Senate’s health care reform debate, Max Baucus, chairman of the all-powerful Senate Finance Committee, had said everything was on the table — except for single-payer universal health care. When doctors, nurses, and others rose in his hearing to insist that single payer […]
James Verone is a 59-year-old man with medical problems. He has a growth of some sort on his chest, two ruptured disks, and a problem with his left foot. But he has no job, no health insurance, his bank account is empty, and he isn’t quite old enough for Medicare. So he figured out an […]
[Brilliant satire, reprinted from Bullseye Rooster by Fred Wickham] The Ryan Senior Voucher Plan has been pretty well misrepresented by the liberal-left-loonies-on-lorazepam battalions. Here’s what it isn’t: it isn’t pretty, but pretty doesn’t win sailboat races. Here’s what it is: it’s pretty sensible. You give us cash, we give you vouchers for up to 50% […]
© Jeff Danziger No, I absolutely am not making this up. Rick Santorum, in his speech announcing he was running for the Republican nomination for president, declared that the D-Day Troops fought for freedom from Medicare. Almost 60,000 average Americans had the courage to go out and charge those beaches on Normandy, to drop out […]
While the media was preoccupied with Congressman Anthony Weiner’s wiener, the real news — released last Friday night just before a major holiday weekend so it would be buried — was the release of the data about a major conflict of interest for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Why did I mention Weiner? Because he […]
