Obamacare: Attacks and a Bright Future
April 15th, 2012 · 1 Comment · Health Care, Politics, Populism
There is no dearth of those on the media horizon ready to attack the Affordable Care Act. It all stems from one thing…the desire of the health insurance companies and all the related services who have been raping American families for decades to continue their luxurious lifestyles. You can throw about 90% of everything you [...]

The Ryan Road to Ruin
March 28th, 2012 · 1 Comment · Capitalism, Economics, Health Care, Politics, Populism, Social Security, taxes, The Budget
Paul Ryan had the courage to put his name on a budget that was announced last week. This budget will change his image from one of a sincere, small town Republican congressman to that of a pandering, foolish, pretentious, faux-economic hack. His goal seems to be to move the country from Recession to Depression and [...]

Romney Lies about the President
February 5th, 2012 · 2 Comments · Culture, Health Care, Politics, Populism, Social Security, taxes, wars and militarism
There is a point beyond which credulity will not go. You can lie to some of the people, as Lincoln said, all of the time, or all of the people some of the time. But over a longer period, people will discover the truth. As an aside, this is what happened in 2010. The people [...]

“It’s a beautiful day in this neighborhood…a beautiful day for a neighbor..would you be mine…could you be mine….” Oh, yeah.

Michele Bachmann and Lies About Health Care Reform
April 1st, 2011 · 1 Comment · Health Care, Lobbying, Politics
The Republicans said that they wanted to repeal the health care reform bill. Then they said that they wanted to de-fund it. In other words, if we can’t remove it altogether, they said, we will simply not let anyone participate in any kind of better health. Why would a United States Congressman or Congresswoman want [...]

Americans Do Want Health Care Reform.
February 6th, 2011 · Comments Off · Health Care, Politics
Here’s the problem with the Neocon Republicans’ argument about health care. The fact is that their argument is simply a lie. It’s a big lie, but it’s a simple lie. The lie is this: health care reform is bad for America. It isn’t. It is good, very good, for most Americans. Here are the ones [...]

Do Americans Really Want Health Care Reform?
February 25th, 2010 · Comments Off · Health Care, Politics
We have spent an entire year listening to politicians talk about health care, argue health care, debate health care and even do their best to obstruct health care.

Health Industry Greed and Democratic Reform
February 23rd, 2010 · Comments Off · Economics, Health Care, Politics
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…. Yes, indeed. It was the best of times for the health care industry in 2009. And the worst of times for their customers. And it continues in 2010. Let’s get right to it. Wellpoint, UnitedHealth Group, Cigna, Aetna and Humana…the top five health [...]
