Will he answer the question? As a reminder, this conservative writer would be perfectly fine with individual state legislatures and the people discussing health care and implementing solutions on their own with absolutely zero interference from Congress or federal bureaucrats.

Congressman Phil Hare: I don’t care about the Constitution

By Jim Vicevich | April 2, 2010 |

Why should we be surprised? Didn’t the Democrats already tell us that they pass the bills and then let the Supreme Court sort it all out? And I am sure they told us they make up the rules anyway.

Henry Waxman and fellow Democrats are shocked!

By SoundOffSister | March 28, 2010 |

Henry Waxman (D. Ca.) and other House Democrats intend to haul the CEO’s of several major companies before Congress on April 21 , and demand explanations about recent disclosures by those corporations concerning the true costs of Obamacare.  Actually, the true cost of Obamacare to these corporations is sizable, but that apparently was supposed to be kept a secret.…

What is a “qualified” plan?

By SoundOffSister | March 27, 2010 |

As you know, beginning in 2014, all individuals must have a “qualified” insurance plan, or pay a tax. Congressman Weiner’s protestations to the contrary notwithstanding, that tax will be enforced by the Internal Revenue Service as the tax imposed “shall be included in a taxpayer’s return”.  And, we all know who enforces information on tax…

Health care HSA changes result in higher taxes for all

So much for the promise that Americans making $200,000 or less would not pay one single dime in extra taxes. Just another promise that reached it’s expiration date, but at this point can we just call every Obama promise a lie?

Now that the bill has passed, let’s see what’s in it!

By SoundOffSister | March 22, 2010 |

According to Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi (D. Calif.), with the passage of Obamacare yesterday, now is the time to find out what it includes.  Most of you won’t like it any better now, than you did before passage, but, let’s begin.

Senate abortion special rules in health care legisation (H.R. 3590)

By Steve McGough | March 21, 2010 |

There has been a great amount of discussion concerning abortion and current health care legislation. Is it in? Is it out? First of all, the entire concept of the fed’s involvement in health care is unconstitutional, but that seems not to matter. So here’s info on the abortion language for readers.

Health insurance companies responsible for only 5% of premium increases

By Steve McGough | March 20, 2010 |

Read the headline again. Then, think about the written and spoken attacks on health care insurance companies from Congress, pundits and directly from the president. This industry is a convenient and popular target for the left, just like oil and banking firms with their $3 gas and $2 ATM fees.

Uh Oh, Healthcare Bill leads to rift in the RC Church

By Jim Vicevich | March 20, 2010 |

Editors Note: I owe much of this post to the hard work of Ed Morrissey at Hot Air. He has a specific take on this and it is well worth reading. I am posting on this because it is of great importance to me.
