'Reform' horrors: O's Total Disconnect
Submitted by Sally C. Pipes on 9.30.2009
The disconnect is just about perfect: President Obama's utopian promises for what his health-care agenda would bring are the opposite of what the plans on the table would produce.
In Delivering Care, More Isn't Always Better, Experts Say
Submitted by Ceci Connolly on 9.29.2009
A dirty word in health-care reform is "rationing," a term that conjures up the image of faceless government bureaucrats denying lifesaving therapies in the name of cutting costs. But what if the real issue is not the specter of future rationing, but the haphazard, even illogical, way in which care is delivered today?
Dispelling the myths about American health care
Submitted by Jim Blasingame on 9.28.2009
Sally Pipes and Jim Blasingame examine the health care debate elements and dispel some of the myths, including the uninsured number and whether Americans will have longer waits for care under the Obama plan
With ObamaCare in a Hole, Will the White House Stop Digging?
Submitted by Hugh Hewitt on 9.28.2009
Increasingly in Washington over the last few weeks, we have heard this assessment of the president’s health care upheaval prospects: Something will pass, because the president and his party have such large majorities (nearly 60 percent) in both chambers of Congress that it is inconceivable that they could not bludgeon their way to the necessary majorities. But victory will be the product of power, not debate – and it will cost them control of the House in the next election.
A Baucus-sized blunder on health care reform
Submitted by Sally C. Pipes on 9.27.2009
Senate Finance Committee chair Max Baucus, D-Mont., has taken center stage in Washington with the release of his highly anticipated health care reform plan. His proposal will likely serve as the foundation of whatever legislation emerges from Congress.
Torts, taxes hinder Pennsylvania's prosperity
Submitted by Jake Haulk, Matthew J. Brouillette on 9.27.2009
Wrongheaded economic development policies and one of the nation's worst labor climates are serious impediments to Pennsylvania's prosperity. As if those obstacles were not enough, the commonwealth also has saddled itself with a tort system that deters job and income growth and a collection of taxes on business that puts the state at a severe disadvantage in startups and attracting companies and capital from out of state.
GOP ideas are ignored
Submitted by Kerry O'Hara on 9.25.2009
OK, I'll admit it. I'm a senior fast approaching Medicare eligibility and I'm worried. I'm worried about our nation's future, and I'm worried that if President Obama's proposed health care plan goes through, Medicare will be reduced by $500 billion. There will be 30 million citizens added to the health plan. (It used to be 46 million until Obama, in response to the town hall "mobs," added the word "citizens" meaning illegal aliens would not be included). And there will be no additional doctors, nurses or hospitals to accommodate these 30 million people.
Expand High-Risk Insurance Pools To Handle Pre-Existing Conditions
Submitted by Jeffrey H. Anderson, Ph.D on 9.23.2009
With his public option stalled on the tracks, a centerpiece of President Obama's health care agenda is emerging. This new one would require insurers to cover those who have pre-existing conditions — while making them charge prices that ignore those conditions.
Federal Medical Malpractice Law Would Hinder Reform
Submitted by Maureen Martin, J.D. on 9.21.2009
The nation's doctors are rightly concerned about the need for medical malpractice reform, but their clamor this week for passage of a federal reform law raises troubling legal questions and likely would do little to stem malpractice case filings, says Maureen Martin, a senior fellow for legal affairs at the Heartland Institute.
Health-reform follies: Who's more efficient?
Submitted by Sally C. Pipes on 9.19.2009
OF all the wishful thinking, denial of realities and blatantly false assertions that surround President Obama's push for government-dominated health care, the biggest whopper is the claim that public administration will be more efficient than private health plans.
