Well, under some circumstances it would most definitely be. However, SUPPOSEDLY, at this time, his wife was in the hospital struggling to deliver a still-born baby. [...]

Barack Obama is concerned about scare tactics in regards to the health care debate: President Barack Obama, whose effort to revamp U.S. health insurance has run into angry protests and slumping public approval, urged Americans to ignore opposition “scare tactics” fanning baseless fears about Democratic health-care plans. Nancy Pelosi is too: “People should not be [...]

I’ve been watching some videos of people getting very agitated while attending health care reform forums. In some cases, legislators have resorted to locking people out entirely, such as this: To ease the tensions surrounding the issue, Obama’s staff have vowed to “punch back twice as hard“. And of course, some Democrats are accusing Republicans, [...]

When Bill Clinton was in charge of things, he gave his wife the dubious task of reforming health care in the United States. When it was all said and done, lots of rural hospitals had closed, 75% of all home health agencies quit, 75% of all national health insurance providers got out of health insurance, [...]

First of all, let’s see what MEDPAC is. From their site: The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) is an independent Congressional agency established by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (P.L. 105-33) to advise the U.S. Congress on issues affecting the Medicare program. The Commission’s statutory mandate is quite broad: In addition to advising the [...]
