More “comforting” words from Dr. Berwick

By SoundOffSister / July 15, 2010 /

I’ve done a few posts about Dr. Donald Berwick, the man appointed by Obama to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.  Now, thanks to an article by Daniel Henninger in today’s Wall Street Journal, we learn more about the “good doctor’s” view of our future under Obamacare…and, it isn’t pretty. Here are a few of…

Obama names health care “rationer in chief” Update

By SoundOffSister / July 7, 2010 /

Today President Obama named Donald Berwick to the position of head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. This is not good news for anyone who relies on either Medicare or Medicaid for their health care. Dr. Berwick, a Harvard medical school professor, was appointed by Obama to this post in April, but no Senate…

Now here is something for which to be thankful

By SoundOffSister / November 25, 2011 /

On Wednesday, Dr. Donald Berwick submitted his resignation as Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid.  Dr. Berwick was yet another recess appointment made by President Obama when even Senate Democrats proved “hostile” to his confirmation.  Although his recess appointment would expire at the end of this year, Dr. Berwick announced he will be…

Caution: Medicare may be hazardous to your health

By SoundOffSister / June 7, 2010 /

If you are currently on Medicare, by now you have already received the nifty 4 page flyer from the Department of Health and Human Services extolling the virtues of Obamacare for those on Medicare.   Unfortunately, much of what is contained in the flyer is untrue.  Now, however, you have even more to be concerned about.…

Obamacare: the arrogance of the elite

By SoundOffSister / August 5, 2013 /

Steve posted a short piece about this today, and I would like to expand upon it.  Let me begin with the words of Dr. Donald Berwick, the President’s original pick to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Not so NICE news

By SoundOffSister / October 2, 2011 /

NICE stands for the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence. This is a wonderful sounding group (heck, even their acronym sounds comforting), but, in reality, it is the United Kingdom’s version of death panels.  And, perhaps NICE is coming to a Medicare recipient near you.

Death panels? What death panels?

By Jim Vicevich / August 16, 2010 /

Oh, those death panels. No, no, no … ignore that. That’s just prostate cancer … nothing to see here. Move along. As I always say, turn your college, retirement or health care over to the government and they will tell you, where you can go to college, when you will retire, and apparently if they…

Cavuto vs Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee- Playing the human shield game

By Jim Vicevich / January 20, 2011 /

It’s not new. Democrats use human shields to push every piece of big government legislation they propose. It’s just unusual to find someone like a Neil Cavuto to call Democrats on it. Fantastic ands funny … it’s your Cavuto moment of the day.

Obama appoints a new Czar…er Czarina, courtesy of Senator Dodd

By SoundOffSister / September 16, 2010 /

A piece of the Dodd-Frank “Financial Reform” bill recently signed into law creates a new Bureau of Consumer Protection.   No one is really sure what this new “bureau” will do that isn’t already being done by several other bureaus, or agencies, or sections, or departments, but we now have this nifty new, and yes, costly,…

Obamacare “re-education”…game on

By SoundOffSister / August 31, 2010 /

One would be hard pressed to prepare a “public service announcement”  any more deceitful than that recently released by the Department of Health and Human Services.  Apparently, it’s Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, who hasn’t bothered to either read the bill or any of the myriad of analyses prepared by either the CBO, or the Office of the Actuary for…
