And your opinion on Dred Scott v. Sandford is?
Or how about Korematsu v. United States? Or maybe Plessy v. Ferguson? I’m quite annoyed at the people who keep saying “the Supreme Court has decided” and the debate about the so-called “Affordable” Health Care Act is over. We’re supposed to just shut up an take it? What do those of you who have called Vicevich and…
Read MoreThe Obamacare & Economy Effect: Part-time employee hours being cut
It’s the economy, it’s company restructuring, it’s Obamacare. Companies are reducing the hours of part-time employees as a result of changing business conditions. It’s not exclusively about Obamacare, but for the administration to claim the so-called Affordable Health Care Act is not partially responsible for any of it is pretty ridiculous.
Read MoreObama – “Health insurance … is your right”
No, it is not. A [human] right is one that exists simultaneously between people. In no way, may one of your “rights” diminish the rights of another person. Let me explain the brutal circle here.
Read MoreObamacare too important to allow midterm elections to destroy it
When I heard the Obama administration had unilaterally delayed an important milestone in the Affordable Health Care Act, I had to chuckle. Certainly there may have been some implementation issues, but you know this move was to delay the implementation – at the employer level – until after the midterm elections.
Read MoreHalf of health care uninsured don’t know they are required to buy insurance under Obamacare

Read MoreInfo you should know: Retirement facility staff won’t help if residents have emergency
I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up! There is a story in the SF Gate about a nurse at a retirement facility who would not preform CPR on a resident who collapsed and had a heart attack. This is not something new, but standard policy for many facilities.
Read MorePhysician shortage in California leads lawmakers to consider new definition of “doctor”
More than three years ago, this website told you about the physician shortage that would be coming and we’re starting to see reaction from states as the problem becomes noticeable. California is suggesting regulation changes to expand responsibilities of nurses, physician assistants and other health care providers when it comes to patient care.
Read MoreDo you have employer sponsored coverage? Take a look at box DD on 2012 W-2
Part of the Obamacare legislation was a requirement employers who provide/sponsor health coverage let employees know how much they are dishing out for your health care insurance. You might be surprised.
Read MoreDemocrat Senators: Wait, there is a medical device tax in Obamacare?
If find it pretty much unacceptable, but completely normal, for 18 Democrats to “all of a sudden” realize there is a medical device excise tax of “only” 2.3 percent in the Affordable Health Care Act. Of course, they found out about this “hidden” tax in December, after the election was over.
Read MoreAs expected: Health care costs rise … insurance rates going up
As we told you. When you start mandating coverage and benefits, the costs to provide care will increase. As such, health care insurance premiums go up. Remember, insurance companies in most cases must go to the state to request premium increases and they must prove why rates must increase. They states will soon be approving 20 percent-plus…
