Republicans Have Health Care Plan.
The buzz around the internet is that now that the Republicans have taken control of the house, gridlock will ensue and nothing will get done. That is fine with me, considering that nothing good has gotten done in the last two years anyhow. I would have preferred if even less of the nonsense the Democrats have forced down our throats had failed to launch in the first place. The problem I have with all of the hoopla from Washington is not that they are proposing ideas in such arenas as health care, it is that they are doing it blindly; an…

The Real Cost Of PCIP(Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan) Health Care.
For those uninsured in America because of a pre-existing condition, Obama says help is on the way. And by help he means a vague new insurance that costs a lot and the benefits of which are as of yet completely unknown. Sounds like the government to me. The new Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan went in to effect July 1st and is aimed at covering people who were previously uninsurable because of a wide range of 'pre-existing' conditions. Health Insurance companies had some pretty broad definitions of what that meant. Diabe…

Obamacare:Socialism Arrives in America
R.I.P. Lady Liberty, you shall not be forgotten. Obama claims it's a "Victory for the American people." Victory is about overcoming an adversary and insuring the continued survival of your side. 54% of Americans are opposed to the Obamacare bill. 57% believe it will drive the cost of health care up and 54% believe that it will drive the quality of health care coverage down. This according to a Rasmussen poll. But don't take my word for it, you can take the word of every polling agency and news service you can think of…
Democrats accuse Republicans of not having an alternative health care plan.
The White house has decided that the best way to start off their feel-good bi-partisan health care bonanza was to accuse Republicans of not having a plan of their own. Doesn't really help the matter in the least, and, it's a lie. The GOP has had a summary and a 219 page document outlining their alternative to the Democrats nearly 2,000 page monstrosity. I had read the original House bill in it's 1,100 pages of glory many months ago. It was to say the least, vague and full of services that were unnecessary, or incomprehensible to a…

Talkmaster Neal Boortz wrote an interesting piece in the Atlanta Journal Constitution n Friday the 13th.(ooh, spooky.)Spelling it out in plain English how health care is not a right, and the federal government has absolutely no business in making legislation for or against it nor does it have the right to force it's citizens to have it. Neal's Argument that it is not right for the government to reconnoiter a doctors time for one second to appease a government run program.
