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 [...]

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 [...]

I’ve said it over and over again … health care reform is not about reducing the cost of insurance and improving access.

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! [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
