Healthcare
As someone who has been following the health care bills, I read Steve’s recent post with interest. All along in this process President Obama has pledged to the American people that if they wanted to keep their current health insurance they could, as nothing in any of the proposed bills would prohibit that, or make…
Another great ZoNation video on health care. “The health care issue was supposed to be televised. But the people have gotten wise and Obama has realized that he can’t socialize with the eyes of the people on ’em. You’ve been duped and cut from the loop. Health care reform will not be televised.”
From a poll released yesterday by the Yankee Institute in Hartford, we find Connecticut likely registered voters oppose current legislation in the House and Senate to reform health care by a margin of 51 percent to 34 percent. I thought Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) was telling us Connecticut voters wanted this legislation?
Although this is premature, it certainly is worth contemplating. Rep. Courtney (D. Ct.) may well have a problem on his hands. With the prospect of Republican Scott Brown winning the election in Massachusetts for that state’s vacant Senate seat, the Democrats have come up with a way to still get Obamacare passed without control of 60 seats in…

Last Thursday, we learned of yet another “deal” that has been struck, this…
When I read the headline of the Washington Times piece, I was surprised, but certain I must be missing something. I read the full article and the truth comes out within one paragraph in the middle of the story.
Speculation everywhere concerning why health care insurance and pharmaceutical companies are tossing money at Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley in support of her bid for Senate. When you’re a big company, you’ve got to play both sides.
There has been a significant amount of e-mail and blog traffic since last fall concerning proposed marriage penalties within the health care legislation. The penalties could be significant, so much so we have to wonder if Democrats proposing the legislation want to completely destroy marriage in lower and middle class America.
