No Change At All

December 15, 2009

The Obama White House and Congressional Democrats are hurriedly wrapping the huge Christmas present they're preparing to give to their bestest friends forever….for-profit coporate health care insurers. Rahm Emanuel, Obama's Chief of Staff, is doing most of the holiday wrapping this year…. Obama administration officials were not pleased when word leaked out earlier today that [...]

Medicare Buy-In

December 9, 2009

Now it's getting embarassing. As I predicted, the Senate has jettisoned the public health insurance option……not that this is a surprise in any way. Many Senators work directly for big medical-pharma-insurance corporations who pay for their elections. Nothing personal against those Americans who need health insurance, mind you……it's just not in their corporate clients' interest……profits [...]

Now It's "Gulags"

December 7, 2009

Here's less than a minute of Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), telling FOX viewers how Medicaid is "essentially a health care gulag"…. Cornyn, as all Republicans do, (perhaps with the exception of Olympia Snowe (R-ME)), is doing the bidding of health insurers and big pharma by floating yet another "death panel"-like meme……in criticism of Democratic efforts [...]

Will Health Care Reform Pass?

November 21, 2009

Tonight's the vote on whether to allow debate in the Senate on the health care reform bill. 60 votes are needed to begin debate….yes, BEGIN debate. If you've been following this congressional soap opera develop…..in a glacially slow fashion…..you also know that it appears as if Senate Democrats will have the votes tonight to BEGIN [...]

Makes No Sense

November 6, 2009

Liberal ideas…truly liberal ideas…..are rarely ever considered by Congress. The reason is that liberal ideas, somehow, are never worthy enough to be called American….even though the strength and character of America was built primarily on liberal ideas. Take, for example, the liberal idea on health care reform. The liberal idea on health care reform is [...]

Opt-Out? Why?

October 27, 2009

I've been busy. Normal daily blogging will continue tomorrow. Here's something quick on yesterday's health reform news-front. Surprisingly, to me at least, the health reform bill to be introduced in the Senate will include a public option….. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced what we've been reporting today – the merged health care bill will [...]

Health Care Reform Debate: Just Starting

October 13, 2009

I've purposely avoided writing very much about the alleged debate allegedly going on over health care reform. As I see it, up til now, we haven't been debating anything. However, now with President Max Baucus' (D-MT) immaculately-conceived version of health reform coming up for a vote today in his Senate Finance Committee, we're getting closer [...]

Pawlenty's name came up quite often as a possible vice-presidential pick for John McCain in 2008. Ex-Alaska governor, Sarah Palin, Senator John Ensign (NV) and South Carolina governor Mark Sanford have also been touted as possible GOP presidential candidates for [...]

Nine big health insurance companies own 76.7% of the health insurance business in America. Unitedhealth Group, WellPoint and Aetna, collectively, insure 48.3% of Americans who have private health care insurance. With Obama explaining last night his version of what a health care reform bill would look like,….including a mandate to buy health care insurance…..we can [...]
