From one flip-flopper to another…

It looks like it’s McCain’s turn to be called a flip-flopper…
The problem I have isn’t the flip flop. What bugs me is the ‘I am 100% convinced’ line of arguing that isn’t 100% correct, words like ‘no doubt in my mind’, ‘we are not going to XYZ thing’, etc.
McCain was being a cheerleader for the [...]

I love Obama but…

I really cannot stand his healthcare argument. Coverage should be mandatory. For him to say that the only problem is affordability is really bogus. Some people, even if healthcare would cost 1$ a month, would not take it. Yet at the end of the day they will go to the hospital and force everyone to [...]

Sad story about the limits of healthcare

The story about the 17 year old that recently died “because of” Cigna (who refused to pay for what they called an ‘experimental procedure’ is really sad.
 I am so tempted to jump on the ‘its the insurance’s fault’ bandwagon.
Yet I won’t.
Why?
We have no idea if another system would have covered the procedure. Even in universal [...]

Universal healthcare, God, and conservatives…

Hillbilly has a terrific post on an article she found that relates to universal healthcare.
Randall Hoven at American Thinker has an article up entitled “A Conservative Case for Universal Health Coverage.”
First, I am really amazed someone on the right would post this article since it goes at the foundation of what conservatives have been claiming all along [...]

Don’t be fooled by imitations. This is no Hillarycare!

Michelle Malkin is trying to equate the recent proposals on the credit problems to Hillarycare.
This is a faulty comparison.
Hillarycare is about PREVENTION. Hillary says we should all be insured. She wants to ensure no American becomes sick without having healthcare coverage. We could go in and debate the merits of her proposal, but the point [...]

Poor Edwards has to be a contortionist thanks to the right…

Instead of proposing a single payer income tax funded system, Edwards has to go through all sorts of hoops to avoid that.
 Per Hotair:
Do these Democrats really think that they’re helping anyone by threatening to take their earnings away via the IRS?Do they think the American people see the IRS as anything but a necessary evil [...]

Your cheap populist gimmick is my poignant message

Hot air has a post about the claim made by John Edwards that he will remove the healthcare of politicians in DC if they don’t pass health care reform that gives every American access to health care.
They make the claim he can’t do that, but don’t substantiate their claim. Maybe he can do that by [...]

One more reason to move to a single payer system..

Hotair has an article about the cost of the health care given to undocumented immigrants….
Although I disagree with their approach, I think Hotair is right that we should be dealing with this issue. The fact is that the risk of illegal immigration isn’t spread out over every individual but is often localized. If we had [...]

Democratic advantage on health care?

From dailykos (well really quoting something else):
Americans, by a more than 2-to-1 margin, say Democratic presidential candidates have better overall solutions to health- care questions than do Republicans, according to a new Bloomberg/Los Angeles Times poll.
Personally,, I think the issue is more that the Republicans aren’t really proposing anything serious on healthcare. But even if you [...]

The aftermath of the SCHIP debate…

This is crazy. We had a serious challenge: what were we going to do with SCHIP… reform it? expand it? remove it? status quo? tobacco tax? etc…
What will we remember? Close your eyes and tell me, what do you see?
a 12 year old, 300 000 $ house, late model cars, private schools, blog wars, insults [...]
