Obama’s Malpractice

Why the health-care bill isn’t reform.

Pub­lished Nov 14, 2009
From the mag­a­zine issue dated Nov 23, 2009

Robert J. Samuelson

There is an air of absur­dity to what is mis­tak­enly called “health-care reform.” Everyone knows that the United States faces mas­sive gov­ern­mental budget deficits as far as cal­cu­la­tors can project, driven heavily by an aging pop­u­la­tion and uncon­trolled health costs. [Read More →]

Devaluing the Dollar by Trashing Private Health Care

By Eric Singer
The main driver of the col­lapse of the dollar is the liq­uidity pro­vided by the Fed at nom­inal interest rates, which invites a world­wide army of investors to short the dollar and buy for­eign stocks and bonds. If the dollar con­tinues to fall in value, these investors are effec­tively paid to borrow as long [Read More →]

A Warning on Government Health Care From Peter Bocking

Clarice Feldman
For many years Peter Bocking  known online to most as PeterUK or PUK charmed the denizens of Tom Maguire’s blog, Just One Minute, with his wit and intel­li­gence. He died quite recently and for the first time many learned he had been an early, extremely tal­ented part of the Liverpool/Manchester music scene and later [Read More →]

Broadcast debate

This forum  has been inter­esting, but we have lim­ited reach.  Would the con­trib­u­tors to this blog be willing to par­tic­i­pate in a health care debate spon­sored by the Zepher the RM or WGIL?  This might be a way to reach a larger audi­ence.  I feel like you are preaching to the choir and I am singing a solo.

Dems exploit infant deaths to sell ObamaCare

November 6, 2009
There are lies, there are damned lies, and there are the sta­tis­tics that Democ­rats have ginned up to try to sell ObamaCare.The most recent example comes from sta­tis­tics, bandied about by their media mouth­pieces this week, pur­porting that infant mor­tality rates in the U.S. are proof that the health­care system [Read More →]

The “Costs” of Medical Care: Part IV

Thomas Sowell –Cre­ators Syn­di­cate
Friday, November 06, 2009
What is so wrong with the cur­rent med­ical system in the United States that we are being urged to rush head­long into a new gov­ern­ment system that we are not even sup­posed to under­stand, because this leg­is­la­tion is to be rushed through Con­gress before even the Sen­a­tors and Rep­re­sen­ta­tives have a chance [Read More →]

Republican Victory in Virginia and New Jersey

Do the results of these elec­tions have any effect on the chances of passing the cur­rent house or senate bills?  We all know what we are hearing in the media.  I won­dered what this group thought.  Let me know.

Medicare Advantage does not cherry pick

MedicareAd­van­tageEn­roll­ment­Form
I have attached a stan­dard MA enroll­ment form.  Their are no health ques­tions asked except the end stage dial­ysis.  I believe this is because the treat­ment is cov­ered by Med­icaid.
So why are pri­vate insurers willing to accept all Medicare ben­e­fi­cia­ries without cherry picking while enhancing ben­e­fits and reducing pre­mium?  Medicare Advan­tage can deliver a higher level of care [Read More →]

Health insurance is too cheap and covers too much. Really.

… Let me trans­late: just the losses of this one scam shows that a gov­ern­ment run health pro­gram could not pos­sibly be as effi­cient as the pri­vate health insur­ance industry. Pri­vate enter­prise would never let that happen because they could not afford to. In this one scam, the gov­ern­ment was losing about 10% of the Medicare gross. Oops. There goes that 2 per cent profit model — and then some.
