Senate Democrats Health Care Ruse

11 hours ago ago from Speaking of Precision Blog

Guest post by Peter Morici, professor at the Smith School of Business, University of Maryland School, and former Chief Economist at the U.S. International Trade Commission. Executive summary: More jobs will be lost. Inferior patient care. We will all be losers. Senate Democrats have managed a compromise on a health care bill that is a fraud on the American public, which is increasingly leery about a government run health care ...

Democrats Massively Expand Government Reach Into Health Care

16 hours ago ago from Quipster

The Illusion of Design .  Hot Air's The Green Room. A great read on the demise of health care as we know it today.  The Democrats have calculatingly parlayed faux attempts to reform health care intobackroom deals for selfish gains, in the name of providing everyone health care, that will cost America money, and bureaucratic nightmares of socialized, government-run health care for everyone else. So, in summary, the case for ...

Sarah Palin wins PolitiFact's "Lie of the Year Award" for "Death Panels"

18 hours ago ago from Jeff Weintraub

This strikes me as a very plausible choice for the top spot--at least in the context of US politics--not only because of the audacious and reckless dishonesty of this particular lie (even for Sarah Palin), but also because it really took hold in public discourse, was exceptionally successful in helping stir up political hysteria and paranoia and poisoning the whole political process, and generated a whole range of quotable Republican ...

Racist Tax and Government Doctors by Democrats!

7 hours ago ago from Marbie's Blog

News flash.  Fox News is reporting that the Democrats' health care bill has a 10% tax on tanning beds.  Now who do you think uses tanning beds?  White people!  I've never heard of African-Americans or Latinos going to tanning salons to get a tan!  Have you?  This has to be a racist tax! This health care bill will drive private doctors to leave their practices because of the cuts in their payments.  Earlier, the government took over ...

Cecile Richards: Women on the Verge

5 hours ago ago from Huffington Post

A reporter asked me today if I was surprised that the issue of abortion has become, yet again, the midnight issue in health care reform bills. Once again, at the final hour, women's rights and access have been traded away in the new Senate health care bill. Rights and access that we may not get back anytime soon, if ever. It's hard not to be discouraged when health care access for millions of women is traded away for one vote -- but that's ...

Employee Mobility, Options Would Increase Under Health Care Reform Bill

11 hours ago ago from BloggingStocks

It's been overlooked -- it's received scant coverage by the popular press -- but it's worth repeating: one benefit of the health care reform legislation will be enhanced employee mobility. Don't misunderstand: a bill that prohibits discrimination by insurance companies due to medical condition/history, provides substantial subsidies for those who don't have health insurance from their employer, and that also offers much-needed tax breaks ...

Mark Drapeau: What If Government Were On-The-Record 24/7?

11 hours ago ago from Huffington Post

Recently, I wrote a post about Government 2.0 predictions for 2010-12 , and one of them was that government would "always be on-the-record." By that I meant that the combination of (1) the proliferation of tech-savvy citizens with mobile camera/video devices, (2) the prevalence of wi-fi or other Web connections, (3) the massive number of people using social networks like MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter, and (4) the great interest that people ...
