According to Dick Morris, the Obama-Pelosi-Reid gang is planning more devious shenanigans in order to pass Obamacare without the necessary votes. Even the bluest of blue states recently rejected the enormous corruption involved in the Health reform bill, but it simply does not matter to the plutocrats in government.

Despite repeated assurance from President Obama about honesty and transparency, it seems the White House will not post the final version of the Health Care bill online for 72 hours. White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs dodged questions when asked whether or not the bill will be posted on the internet for the public prior to [...]

Democrat’s Health Bill Would Still Leave 23 million People Uninsured, Raise Taxes, and Ration Care

This nearly $900 billion bill would be paid for by $483 billion in cuts to Medicare and other federal health programs, as well as tax increases. Of course the real costs will undoubtedly be much higher as the government is notorious for grossly underestimating costs. Not to mention this is the same government with a [...]

European Style VAT Tax in Health Care Reform Bill

Filed under Government, Healthcare

True to form, politicians in Washington are pushing yet another tax, but one that closely resembles the European ‘value added tax’ - a type of national sales tax. A VAT is among the most regressive taxes that can be imposed and disproportionately harms the middle and lower classes.
The Democrat’s Health Reform bill contains a provision [...]

Some Disturbing Parts of the Health Care Bill – Vote Coming Soon

Here are some highlights from the atrocity that is the Pelosi-Obama health care bill taken from an article from the Wall Street Journal. Politicians and bureaucrats in Washington want to force this, and more, on America:
• Sec. 202 (p. 91-92) of the bill requires you to enroll in a “qualified plan.” If you get your [...]

Filed under Government, Healthcare, Legal

Many legal challenges to government-run health care may be in the works due to the unprecedented  - and in all likelihood unconstitutional - power Obamacare gives the federal government.
Various issues include the regulation of interstate commerce (probably the most abused power next to taxation); privacy concerns related to doctor-patient relations; and restrictions on the federal [...]

Americans Evenly Split on Obamacare – Media and White House Spin Working?

by SteveK @ Thursday, October 8th, 2009. Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

It seems the mainstream media’s nonstop advertising for government-controlled health care is starting to sway more gullible Americans. When the media supports just about anything the government proposes, usually nothing good can come from it. If government bureaucrats and paper-pushers end up controlling medical care, that care will inevitably suffer in the long run. But [...]

White House Required Doctors to Wear Lab Coats to Obama Rose Garden News Conference

Filed under Government, Media

NewsBusters reports that the Obama Rose Garden health care reform pitch was nothing more than a photo-op. Most doctors arrived in business attire, but were handed out white lab coats to make a more powerful scene for Obama. Desperate to show how popular his plan is with physicians, the White House would not start the [...]

Obama Called A Liar During Health Care Speech

Filed under Government, Healthcare

South Carolina Republican Rep. Joe Wilson shouted “You lie!” after Obama had talked about illegal aliens not receiving taxpayer-funded medical coverage (even though they already do in many ways). The media is hyping his outburst as something unusual that will unify Democrats around Obamacare, but Democrats routinely had similar outbursts during the Bush years. But [...]
