Obamacare's Error
Submitted by Sally C. Pipes on 7.31.2009
DON'T be distracted by the inside-the-beltway haggling over arcane details -- ponder the big picture and apply common sense to the claims of our would-be health reformers.
Schumer Demands "Public Option"
Submitted by Aricka Flowers on 7.31.2009
Senior Senate Finance Committee member Charles Schumer (D-NY) has vowed to “ignore” all health care overhaul legislation that does not include plans to create a government-run health insurance plan, or “public option,” and have it compete “on a level playing field” with private insurance plans.
Costs of Medicare/Medicaid Have Outpaced Other Health Costs by 1/3 Since 1970
Submitted on 7.29.2009
Ezra Klein has posted a blog criticizing the claim (made by Bill Kristol on the Daily Show Monday night) that the costs of government-run health care have greatly outpaced other health costs. But Klein is mistaken.
MAss Disaster
Submitted by Sally C. Pipes on 7.29.2009
It's worth pondering ex-Gov. Romney's promises just over three years after he crossed partisan lines to reform health care in the Bay State. The Obama administration and congressional Democrats are modeling reform on the Massachusetts model, promoting bureaucratic health exchanges, increased restrictions on health insurance and vastly expanded taxpayer-subsidized care. Like Romney, they promise more coverage at lower cost, even as the evidence suggests otherwise.
Beware of Obama Care
Submitted by Lou Treadway on 7.27.2009
If our health care system is as bad as some have suggested in “Letters to the Editor” and responses to the earlier blog, and the Canadian, U.K. and other European styled socialized health care systems are so great, then we should see Americans flocking to Canada to take advantage of that wonderful system.
Obama Misunderestimates Why He Won the Presidency
Submitted on 7.27.2009
There are limits to what a great communicator can accomplish if he is communicating the wrong message. In the last few weeks, Barack Obama has been receiving a lesson in this truth and learning, perhaps, too, that he, in the words of his less audibly gifted predecessor, “misunderestimated” why he won the presidency.
San Francisco Style Health Care May Be Coming
Submitted by John R. Graham on 7.27.2009
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom recently wrote a column for the Huffington Post promoting his Healthy San Francisco plan as a model for the federal “public option” touted by President Obama. Healthy San Francisco could be a model, but not in the way Mayor Newsom imagines.
Haste makes waste has never been truer in terms of health-care reform
Submitted by Peter Trozan on 7.26.2009
Talk about crazy ideas. The NFL wants to try out a new concept during the pre-season. When the Broncos and Raiders play in Oakland, the referees will wear Raider caps and will be chosen from a pool of former and current members of the Raiders organization who have given verbal assurances of being "fair" in their calls as referees.
Government Medicine Machinations pt 2 - Sally Pipes Delivers a Warning
Submitted by Gardner Goldsmith on 7.25.2009
Sally Pipes, the CEO and President of the Pacific Research Institute, talks to Gardner Goldsmith. This audio is very valuable, because Ms. Pipes has a wide-ranging and deep knowledge base about medicine and how government destroys it.
'Cost': Health Care's Four-Letter Word
Submitted by David Gratzer on 7.24.2009
World War II veteran Jack Tagg is losing vision in his right eye. He suffers from macular degeneration, a progressive illness that causes blindness. A drug could slow the deterioration, but the British government refused to pay for it, arguing he wasn't blind enough to justify the expense since his left eye has been spared so far. Tagg's story is one of thousands of examples of rationing we hear every day from government-run health care systems.
