Death Panel Redux

Mark | December 26, 2010

Death Panel Redux   “If at first you don’t succeed” goes the traditional phrase.  Our president is a believer in that coloquialism.  Democrats were hammered last year on death panels.  Sarah Palin hammered zerO in 2009 on end of life bullying paid for by our tax dollars and is doing so again now.  One of the things [...]

Medicare Actuary says cuts will put hospitals in the red

Mark | April 25, 2010

Well, a month or so after the democRATS passed the health care reform bill on their own (remember the only thing bipartisan about this bill was the vote against it) we find out in a report by the Medicare’s Office of the Actuary that: In particular, concerns about Medicare could become a major political liability [...]

HCR wont stop premium increases

Mark | April 14, 2010

I’ve said it over and over again … health care reform is not about reducing the cost of insurance and improving access. The LA Times agrees: Public outrage over double-digit rate hikes for health insurance may have helped push President Obama’s health care overhaul across the finish line, but the new law does not give [...]

obama-don’t-care will bring us less care not more

Mark | April 13, 2010

A new article from the Wall Street Journal tells us: Experts warn there won’t be enough doctors to treat the millions of people newly insured under the law. At current graduation and training rates, the nation could face a shortage of as many as 150,000 doctors in the next 15 years, according to the Association [...]

obama’s “Health Care” Army

Mark | April 13, 2010

Do you remember during the campaign when obama said this? “We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” Well guess what … he got it! [...]

Repeal obama-don’t-care

Mark | April 9, 2010

Republicans are split on whether or not they should try to repeal what I call obama-don’t-care.  The American people, however, are not split. Healthy margins in all polls suggest that there is broad support to repeal this horrible legislation.  Why are these stupid politicians so wishy washy?  They drive me friggin bananas (not a long [...]

Transparency Paradigm Shift

Mark | April 7, 2010

Here’s our government in Colorado working to shift the paradigm on transparency.    Transparency is a term that is bandied about constantly these days.  It came from folks wanting the government process to be less secretive about their machinations.  That’s a noble goal. The link above however shows our government here in CO working to [...]

Sarah Palin Targets Betsy Markey and John Salazar of Colorado

Mark | April 3, 2010

Quick note here … Sarah Palin targets Markey and Salazar, both here in Colorado, for their health care reform votes.  Yes, I said targets, but not with a gun you ninnies.  

Side Effects from obamaCare

Mark | April 1, 2010

Despite my advocacy of the status quo in health insurance even I understand that there are things that need to change in health care or medical insurance.  However, there are many many things that do not need to be changed and work extremely well. Two of those things are Health Savings Accounts (HSA’s) and Flexible [...]

Baucus and Dean: Health Care Reform is Redistribution of Wealth

Mark | March 31, 2010

 A while back I wrote this piece about redistribution of wealth disguised as health care reform.  Well, turns out I was right!!   And right again: First thing first … What the hell is wrong with Baucus?  He is blotto, twisted! Second it seems the lefties are very comfortable these days speaking openly about their love [...]
