Today, President Obama released his proposal to reform health care, in advance of Thursday’s health care summit.

I can say this with complete certainty. If President Obama gets his way and institutes price controls to “ensure” health care premiums don’t increase “too much”, insurers will simply drop out of the market.

Obama takes over Congress’ job – writes his own health care bill

By Steve McGough | February 20, 2010 |

It’s not supposed to work this way, but our federal leaders continue to make up new policy, procedures and unconstitutional legislation at every turn. President Obama will introduce his own health care legislation and post it on the White House Web site tomorrow or Monday.

Game on. Obama pushes health care plan, tells audience to “Brush your teeth.”

Here is the plan.  Remember the negotiations between the…

More proof Obamacare will not work

By SoundOffSister | February 12, 2010 |

The lead article in Thursday’s Boston Globe should be required reading for our president, and all those in Congress who are still pushing for Obama’s health care legislation. The Massachusetts health care law, upon which Obamacare is based, is falling apart at the seams.

Obama demands health care insurers justify premium increases

By Steve McGough | February 9, 2010 |

This is dangerous ground, and not unexpected. The Obama administration continues their assault on insurers by demanding Anthem Blue Cross in California justify a proposed 39 percent rate increase by customers. Certainly, this is a huge premium increase, but why the jump?
