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, [...]

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 [...]

(CNSNews.com) - Forget the public option. Even without it, the health care bill presented in the Senate by Majority Leader Harry Reid (D.-Nev.) would make some middle-class American families pay what amounts to a $15,200 annual federally-mandated insurance fee, according to facts revealed in analyses published by the Congressional [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]
