Mitt Romney’s health care reform presentation

By Steve McGough / May 12, 2011 /

Without a doubt, one of Mitt Romney’s hurdles for conservatives will be his support for a state government health care mandate in Massachusetts. But something immediately caught my eye while reviewing his presentation today. For those of you who read my stuff, can you guess what it is?

The Masachusetts plan to control health care costs

By SoundOffSister / August 1, 2012 /

Yesterday, the Massachusetts legislature passed a bill which Governor Patrick is expected to sign, that is claimed will dramatically lower health care spending in the state.  How will they do this?

Baucus health care bill includes pay-offs to senators

By Steve McGough / October 15, 2009 /

You can call them bribes if you’d like. Sen. Max Baucus’s (D-Mont.) health care bill is filled with pay-offs, bribes and graft to other senators just to get his mark up (it’s not in legislative format yet) proposal through the Senate Committee on Finance. This post details those bribes and provides the full text of…

The definition of health care insanity (see MA, ME, TN, HI)

By SoundOffSister / October 3, 2009 /

Someone, far smarter than I, once defined insanity as repeating the same behavior over and over again, and expecting a different result.  Were that same person looking at the current proposals for health care reform, I suppose that person would conclude that both Congress and the President are insane. All of the health care proposals floating…

Government Health Care Cost To You …. $4000 more!

By Jim Vicevich / October 12, 2009 /

This is an insurance industry study, and it has its own agenda (see below) but it is making waves. Understandable. Four thousand dollars more per year by 2019. That’s $4000 dollars more than you are paying now. That’s $4000 more than if they did nothing. Kinda remind you of the stimulus, huh? (From Hot Air)…

Rep. Hare: Where does the Constitution allow for federal involvement in health care?

By Steve McGough / April 2, 2010 /

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.

Rhetoric vs. reality – Obamacare will increase health care premiums

By SoundOffSister / December 3, 2009 /

Once again, what the proponents of Obamacare say about it is, well… not exactly. Rhetoric: Obamacare, by establishing insurance exchanges, will reduce health insurance premiums for all. Reality: Obamacare will increase health insurance premiums for all far beyond what they would have been if Congress did nothing.

CBO takes a stab at calculating the cost of federal health care

By Steve McGough / July 14, 2009 /

Two stories just caught my eye within the last hour or so. First of all, the Congressional Budget Office sent a 14 page report to Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) with a wrap-up review of America’s Affordable (hah!) Health Choices Act. Second, Reuters is reporting there will be a 5.4 percent surtax on millionaires to help…
