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

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 [...]

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

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. [...]

Are Canadians Happy With Their Health Care System?

Filed under Government, Healthcare

This can be a somewhat tricky question. Those defending nationalized medical care offer primarily one argument - that people are happy with it according to polls. A more important question is whether or not the actual medical care for serious conditions is better or not. But let’s go back to the first question.
The results of [...]

Obama Pushes to Nationalize Health Care - More Socialism?

by SteveK @ Tuesday, June 16th, 2009. Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,
Filed under Economics, Government, Healthcare, Media

If state-run health care has more benefits than drawbacks, then why are countries with socialized medicine reforming with more privatization? European countries are starting to move away from socialized medicine as larger percentages of the population are losing faith in their government-run systems. The dissatisfaction is not only over longer waiting periods for elective procedures, [...]
