  • White House Delays Asia Trip: Another Sign Obamacare on Code Blue

    Posted March 12th, 2010 at 1:00pm in Health Care 0

    In the face of declining polling numbers, daily Democratic defections, and unfavorable rulings from the Senate Parliamentarian, the White House has devolved into all out panic mode. Politico reports: President Barack Obama is delaying his trip to Indonesia and Australia by three days in hopes of finalizing a health care deal — and will scrap plans [...] More

  • The Constitution: Another Victim of Obamacare

    Posted March 12th, 2010 at 11:59am in Health Care 3

    Reports yesterday indicated that the Senate Parliamentarian “ruled” that the President must sign the Senate passed version of Obamacare before the Senate can act on a reconciliation measure. This ruling would have blown up plans in the House to use a very complicated procedure to pass both a Senate passed health care reform bill [...] More

  • Morning Bell: Obamacare at Any Cost

    Posted March 12th, 2010 at 9:42am in Health Care 25

    Yesterday the White House circulated a memo by pollster Joel Benenson. It was designed to create momentum for Obamacare by convincing wayward House Democrats that support for the President’s plan has been building since the State of the Union. As with everything else that comes out of the White House on health care these days, [...] More

  • Video of the Week: “We have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it”

    Posted March 10th, 2010 at 3:30pm in Health Care 20

    You might have seen this week a stunning demonstration of political condescension on the health care front. In remarks at the 2010 Legislative Conference for the National Association of Counties, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, “But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the [...] More

  • Breaking: The Latest Worthless Medical Malpractice “Reforms”

    Posted March 10th, 2010 at 2:30pm in Health Care, Rule of Law 5

    When President Obama held his health care summit at the White House, Rep. Dave Camp (R-MI) pointed out that a key part of containing medical costs was completely missing from the debate: medical malpractice legal reform. The cost of defensive medicine alone (without taking into account the direct costs of such claims) “could be [...] More

  • Obamacare’s Procedural Fraud on the American People

    Posted March 10th, 2010 at 11:33am in Health Care 34

    The Health Care Nuclear Option is still the stated plan to get Obamacare to the President’s desk. The latest wrinkle is designed to allow pro-life Democrats to vote for the Senate’s taxpayer funded abortion language while still claiming they never voted for taxpayer funded abortions.  Don’t be fooled. First, let’s be clear that the [...] More

  • Deja Vu All Over Again

    Posted March 9th, 2010 at 11:55am in Health Care 4

    President Barack Obama says he will have his health care bill passed by the House before he leaves for Australia on March 18th. Nobody outside the White House believes that is going to happen. Next week’s blown deadline will join a crowded graveyard of past deadlines including July, August, and September. But blown deadlines are [...] More

  • Morning Bell: Dead Legislation Walking

    Posted March 9th, 2010 at 9:33am in Health Care 58

    Another day, another stream of health care fantasy from the White House. A quick look at two health care events from yesterday, one in Glenside, Pennsylvania, and the other in Tawas City, Michigan, clearly exposes the yawing gap between the Obama administration’s health care rhetoric and cold hard legislative reality. First in Glenside, President Barack [...] More

  • What the House Would Have to Swallow in the Senate Bill

    Posted March 8th, 2010 at 5:00pm in Health Care 20

    Amidst all the intense speculation about quickly passing the President’s health care agenda through the Budget Reconciliation process before the Easter Recess, ordinary Americans should remember one thing: the House of Representatives must first pass the 2,700-page, $2.5 trillion, Senate health bill. So, the next big step in the national health care debate is floor [...] More

  • Health Reform That Breaks the Bank

    Posted March 8th, 2010 at 4:00pm in Health Care 8

    During last month’s Blair House health care summit, President Barack Obama was forced to change the subject after Rep. Paul Ryan(R-WI) Blair House thoroughly refuted the President’s claim that his health care plan would reduce the deficit. It took over a week for the White House to respond to Ryan, but last Thursday they finally [...] More
