Hey, do you remember when President Obama promised that if you like your insurance, you can keep it, even after the passage of his signature legislation? I’m sure there are a few people out there who still believe it. If you’re one of them, I certainly hope your policy lives up to the standards...
Catherine “Kiki” McLean bills herself as a “true DC insider” who served as a surrogate for the Obama for America campaign” on her Porter Novelli bio page. (There’s a screen shot below, just in case.) It so happens that Porter Novelli won a $20 million contract to promote Obamacare at the expense of taxpayers....
The Wall Street Journal’s editorial today takes Democrats and their friends in the media to task for their attempts to intimidate the Supreme Court and Chief Justice John Roberts before they rule on Obamacare. According to the article, Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) went so far as to send a warning from the Senate floor,...
Dozens of Catholic organizations are suing the Obama administration over the mandate to provide employees coverage for birth control, sterilization and abortion-inducing drugs. The administration had to see this coming, but they didn’t care. Now these schools, charities, dioceses and health care providers will spend a great deal of money bringing these suits, while...
I was perusing Capitalism Magazine and came across an article written by Richard Ralston and posted about a week ago. He explains how the FDA is not allowing a stem cell procedure in which one’s own cells taken from one part of the body are used to repair cells in another part. I remember...
Franciscan University of Steubenville is the first Catholic college to drop student health plans thanks to the mandate imposed on religious institutions that they cover contraceptives, sterilizations and abortion-inducing drugs. Expect more to follow. Here’s the announcement from the university’s website: The Obama Administration has mandated that all health insurance plans must cover “women’s...
What business is the federal government good at? Everything they touch turns into a money pit, so why would we think that the Department of Health and Human Services spending billions to finance new non-profit health insurers would be any different? Doug Ross asks, “What could go wrong?” I can think of a few...
Scott Gottlieb has a piece up at Real Clear Politics explaining how middle income families will be financially squeezed by ObamaCare. The problem is the incentive for employers to drop coverage because the fine is so much cheaper than the cost of a health care policy. It’s likely that only the largest employers will...
The folks in the Obama administration must not be feeling very confident about Obamacare’s fate in the hands of the Supreme Court. So now they’re sending letters to the Court with arguments they failed to raise during oral arguments. Ben Shapiro at Big Government: The Obama administration warned the Supreme Court this week via...
There’s another new study showing that under Obamacare employers will save billions of dollarsby dropping health insurance coverage. This is like jumping into a pond without knowing how deep it is. If we don’t get a grasp on what Obamacare actually represents, it would be like searching online classifieds for discount health insurance. Hopefully the Supreme Court...
I guess when the left says everyone deserves health care, they really mean it. In all seriousness, money from one of Obamacare’s slush funds was used to spay and neuter dogs. It’s part of an anti-obesity effort. They said that by spaying these dogs people won’t be afraid to walk around outside. I’m not...
According to The Washington Times, the FDA is considering allowing patients to purchase certain prescription medications without seeing, or obtaining a prescription from, a physician. I’m not entirely against the idea, but such a move could cause some problems. The FDA says over-the-counter distribution would let patients get drugs for many common conditions without...
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius testified before the House Education and Workforce Committee last week about the contraception mandate her agency has imposed on religious institutions. Her responses to questions on the constitutionality of the mandate would have been laughable if this wasn’t such a serious issue. She hadn’t a clue about any...
At a campaign event the Obama campaign coached an Iowa woman to speak about her trouble finding health care due to a preexisting condition. She did obtain coverage through a 25 year old state program that covers people in her situation. (It was signed into law by a Republican.) But that’s not the way...
