And I have no doubt that Barney’s claim that he told Obama to not push for the government takeover of healthcare seems a lot like this tool is again trying to dazzle people with his bullshit. Monday morning quarterbacking, and a piss poor attempt at it at best:
Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., said he advised President Obama against taking up health care reform following a special election in 2010 that changed Democrats’ fortunes in the
So the consensus, even among liberals, is that Obamacare did not have a good week at the Supreme Court. It was so bad, in fact, that I heard people speculating that the Solictor General deliberately did a bad job to get it struck down.
Huh?
The thinking is that if Obamacare is struck down, this will pave the way for … a single payer system. Seriously:
In the face of a total strike down,
As I said on Twitter, the Obama’s administration’s ridiculous fight against the ministerial exemption — a fight they lost 9-0 in the Supreme Court — suddenly make sense:
The Obama administration announced today it will wait for a year (coincidentally until after the elections) before requiring religious organizations to comply with an Obamacare mandate that they provide coverage for contraception — including controversial drugs that can abort an early pregnancy.
This started with a
I have a sort of like-dislike relationship with Politifact. I think they are useful for gathering facts and providing background. I actually find their long-form articles, where they hash out the details of claims and allow both sides to make their case, much more illuminating than their offhand ratings, which are a bit arbitrary. They are certainly superior to, say, Media Matters, which unabashedly touts the liberal line. But I do occasionally find they get … Read more
Recently I posted about how the CBO had to downgrade the effects it was claiming for the Patronage Bill. Certain people then proceeded to not just question that this was what happened, while trying to defend this epic trillion dollar failure, but to imply I was purposefully being dishonest about the CBO being dishonest – leaning left in that dishonesty – or the way the LSM reports on this crap. Well, the the usual … Read more
Seems that last Friday, when they hoped the least amount of people possible where paying attention, that Sibelius and some of the other Obama Administration people finally came clean and admitted what every non-math & economics challenged person, i.e. conservatives, pointed out about the CLASS Act in Obamacare: only a damned liar would pretend this stuff could work. In an AP piece that no longer seems to be around – I wonder why? – we … Read more
Really, Montana?
Gov. Brian Schweitzer said Wednesday he will ask the U.S. government to let Montana set up its own universal health care program, taking his rhetorical fight over health care to another level.
Like Republicans who object to the federal health care law, the Democratic governor also argues it doesn’t do enough to control costs and says his state should have more flexibility than the law allows. But Schweitzer has completely different plans
As many of us predicted then, and have been saying all along, Obamacare was without a doubt going to drive up the cost of healthcare for those of us with it already – employer provided or otherwise – and do so drastically, and the article by Allen Rappeport in FT titled “Health insurance costs deal blow to Obama” shows we where spot on:
The cost of health insurance has surged in the US
Remember the good old days when anyone that vehemently hated the old Bush guard and “spoke truth to power” against them was being patriotic for evil fascist challenging government? You might not, since now that anyone doing the same, since the occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania street has a (D) next to his name, gets called a racist for doing so.
Well, it looks like we have another such a moment in the works. We got … Read more
Remember, friends: Medicare is the model for how we should reform healthcare. Medicare for all is what Van Jones Propaganda Party, among others, is demanding.
On Tuesday, a jury found Iruke, his wife and an employee who worked for the couple guilty of healthcare fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud in a scheme that involved more than $14 million in illegitimate Medicare claims.
Authorities said Iruke and associates often supplied power wheelchairs to Medicare
