The “death panel” provision was originally included in the Democrat’s legislation to takeover health care, but “the Obama administration will achieve the same goal by regulation, starting Jan. 1,” as reported in The New York Times.
The new Medicare regulation detailing “voluntary advance care planning” is to be included during patients’ annual checkups, and “may include [...]

Government’s Track Record - ObamaCare Puts Your Life at Risk

With President Obama demanding an “up or down” vote on sweeping health care reform, it’s worth reminding people of what government has done where involved with medical care and “bringing down costs.” The leadership in Washington will push for virtually any reform bill no matter how bad or unconstitutional, and when things eventually get worse, [...]

Democrat’s Health Care Bill is About Political Gain and Obama’s Legacy

As Thomas Sowell correct explains in his latest article:
In short, this is not about improving the health of the American people. It is about passing something– anything– to keep the Obama administration from ending up with egg on its face by being unable to pass a bill, after so much hype and hoopla. Politically, looking [...]

Growing Concern That Obamacare’s Individual Mandate Violates Constitution

by SteveK @ Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009. Tags: , , , , , ,
Filed under Government, Healthcare

The constitutionality of government health care mandates has not been focused on nearly enough. When questioned about where Congress gets this unprecedented power to force the citizens to purchase something heavily regulated by the federal government, proponents of Obamacare really cannot answer the question.
When House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was asked the question of where [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Obama Admits Goal of a Government-run Monopoly on Health Care

by SteveK @ Wednesday, August 5th, 2009. Tags: , , , , , , ,
Filed under Government, Healthcare, Media

Obama admits in a video he wishes to create a universal health care system in America and eliminate private health insurance. All the reassuring speeches about people being able to keep their own insurance and not competing with private insurers is untrue (as his critics have been saying all along).
Did he change his mind since [...]

Ronald Reagan once observed, “The closest thing to immortality on this earth is a federal government program.” Government-run heath care would create an endless circle of bureaucratic nightmares for Americans to navigate.
Incidentally, the Democrats have blocked Republican House Members from sending the above chart to their constituents. They claim it is not an accurate depiction. [...]
