Obamacare Pushes Healthcare Costs Higher — Did You Really Believe Obama?

admin — Sat, 11 Sep 2010 14:40:30 +0000

A Wall Street Journal article in the September 8, 2010, edition reports that the Federal government’s own analysis rebuts cost-saving claims by Democrat-Socialist leaders. Healthcare cost increases are projected to be almost 40% higher in 2014 under Obamacare than they would have been without it.

The definition of a biological parasite is directly applicable to labor unions: An organism that grows, feeds, and is sheltered on or in a different organism while contributing nothing to the survival of its host.

A current example is the Postal Workers union.

Obamacare Considered As Dispassionately As Possible

admin — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 12:54:11 +0000

Will it really reduce costs of medical care? Is it, instead, pie-in-the-sky?

If it really will reduce costs, why has Massachusetts’s similar program led to punishing cost increases? According to a Wall Street Journal op-ed piece (The Failure of RomneyCare, March 16, 2010):

One third of state residents polled by Harvard researchers in a study published in “Health Affairs” in 2008 said that their health costs had gone up as a result of the 2006 reforms. A typical family of four today faces total annual health costs of nearly $13,788, the highest in the country. Per capita spending is 27% higher than the national average.

Why Aren’t Government Planners Doing A Better Job Managing The Economy?

admin — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 12:54:08 +0000

Answer: Democrat/Socialists and liberal-progressive Republicans are more interesting in protecting their sources of campaign financing, notably public employee labor unions, than in helping you.

If you still believe that social engineers can effectively run a planned economy, why are the Post Office, Fannie, and Freddie financial basket cases?

Moving Closer To World Government

admin — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 19:40:40 +0000

Ignoring the complete falsity of man-made global warming alarmism, the International Monetary Fund is organizing a world-government effort to impose procrustean energy-use regulation upon governments that oppose it.

It’s now clear that global-warming hysteria is nothing more than a tactic for grabbing political power. The UN, and now the IMF, are acting in behalf of liberal-progressives who would impose the Socialist International as a supervening, worldwide regulator.

News And Opinions About Obamacare, Version Two

admin — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 14:17:11 +0000

A new fiscal policy website, The Fiscal Times, provides a balanced presentation of news and a thoughtful presentation of opinion. Unlike mainstream liberal-progressive media such as the New York Times, news articles do not state ideological positions as settled fact. Instead, news articles report both conservative and liberal-progressive views, identifying each as such.

The reason for this balance undoubtedly is that the website is funded by Peter G. Peterson.

With regard to Obamacare, see two opinion pieces, Bipartisan Indifference to Controlling Health Care Costs and Health Reform Preview: The Obama Plan.
