If the recent Health Care Summit accomplished anything, it was to demonstrate two facts: Republicans have their own ideas, and these ideas are fundamentally different from those of the Democrats. After having spent months talking up the notion that no right-wing alternatives exist on health care, Democrats seemed genuinely surprised to find their rivals armed [...]

Public option? How about a private option?
Posted: 24th February 2010 by Keith Yost in Education, HealthcareTags: competition, Education, Public Option, school vouchers
The Democrats’ new-found love of competition should be applied to education reform As the national health care debate again rears its ugly head (so much for focusing on the economy), Democrats have begun murmuring that now is the time to put the so-called “public option” back on the table. To hear liberals talk about it, [...]
A Brown Party?
Posted: 22nd January 2010 by Keith Sipmann in Healthcare, Scott Brown, Senate, Tea PartyTags: Conservatism, Political Parties, Republicans, Scott Brown
Many GOP’ers are identifying themselves with Brown, a socially moderate Republican, hoping his good luck will rub off onto them. Anyone following the MA race was most likely shocked and energized when Brown won the seat to replace the late Ted Kennedy (D-Mass). Brown won by running on the healthcare issue, stating that he would [...]
Bitter Healthcare for all….err I mean better Healthcare for all.
Posted: 3rd December 2009 by Keith Sipmann in Barack H. Obama, HealthcareTags: Healthcare
This week the bitter Senate debates started over the Obama/Reid/Pelosi health care program. Democrats call it a historic opportunity to insure millions of Americans who are uninsured, while Republicans see this as a government take over and a move towards a European flavored socialism. The first attempt by a Republican amendment to stave off Medicare [...]
America, the land of dependency…

“I’m from the government and I’m here to help you.” This phrase is more applicable now than ever. For months now Americans have been telling and often shouting what they want and don’t want to their elected representatives with little results. House and Senate Democrats have continued to tell the American public that they know what [...]
I almost couldn’t believe my ears and eyes when watching Congressman Rogers made his opening statement on Health Care reform legislation that is under debate in Congress. Such logic and common sense.
The “Right” to Health Care, the lie of the Progressive movement.
Posted: 3rd October 2009 by Michael Carlson in Barack H. Obama, Economy, Gun Rights, Healthcare, Judicial System, Second Amendment, Taxes, US GovernmentThe fuzzy feel good ideologies of the Human Rights movement play on the human conscience and to us feel… warm and fuzzy. No one should go hungry, no one should go without shelter, no one should have to work for minimum wage (a different topic altogether, damn Keynsians), but most of all no one should [...]
Being frank with Al Franken….
Posted: 8th September 2009 by Keith Sipmann in Barack H. Obama, HealthcareTags: Al Franken, Healthcare
I wonder if Franklin has even read the bill. Because what he is telling these people is something completely different than what is actually written in the bill. There were a lot of other questions that should have been asked, but at least Franklin took the time to talk to these people and provide his [...]

Healthcare for Illegals? "Yes", or "No" Mr. President….
Posted: 31st August 2009 by Keith Sipmann in Healthcare, Taxes, US GovernmentTags: Barack H. Obama, Healthcare, Obamacare
American Healthcare will be provided to everyone regardless of race or other characteristics. President Obama and his supporters continue to state that illegal aliens will not be covered in this bill but they have conveniently left a major loophole…
C.A.R.S. program a model for national health care?
Posted: 26th August 2009 by Kay Gordon in C.A.R.S., Healthcare, US GovernmentTags: C.A.R.S., Cash for Clunkers, Healthcare
As I watched TV yesterday I saw a Ford commercial touting the “Cash for Clunkers” program and found the fine print quite funny which stated something to the effect of: this is a government program that may change at any time. Not more than two hours later was breaking news that the C.A.R.S. program would [...]
The Reality of the “Myths” in the Health Care Bill.
Posted: 21st August 2009 by Kay Gordon in Healthcare, US GovernmentTags: Co-op, Healthcare, Obamacare, Public Option
Liberals and Democrats are frightened, and with good reason. Citizens are starting to publicly voice their opposition to the preposed health care or health insurance bill and the politicians are now getting an earful from their constituents. In response some of those same politicians have resorted to labeling protests as “astro-turf” and belittling protesters as ignorant, [...]
Public Option Dead? Not so Fast….
Posted: 17th August 2009 by Keith Sipmann in Healthcare, US GovernmentTags: Co-op, Healthcare, Obamacare, Public Option
Some of the main stream media would have us all believe that a “public option” to health care has been stopped by the Obama Administration dead in its tracks. The AP recently reported “White House appears ready to drop ‘public option’.” and a article by Politico reads, “White House backs away from public health care option.“. Are [...]
