Government Diabetes Programs

Who benefits from diabetes prevention? If the government pays for all a person’s prevention and treatment, it saves a lot by convincing the person to prevent diabetes by walking and eating less food, proper foods. Assume that prevention programs, where persons are put through lectures, weigh-ins, group-support meetings, cost the government $1,100 per year. Assume [...]

Resisting Obama Care in Montana

It looks like the window of opportunity for forbidding implementation of federal health care in Montana is rapidly closing. (Read the news article below.) Is there any way for the legislature to require that no state agency or employee be permitted to enact, implement or change agency procedures at least until the constitutionality of FHC is [...]

Health Care Passes. Sound the Dirge.

R.I.P., U.S.A. Dastardly! They passed the loathsome thing. Oh, the perfidy, the chicanery! Obama and Pelosi scaled the summit. But every step, underfoot, lie crushed the liberties, lives and health of their subjects. We have witnessed the hasty dismantling of the rule of law, of freedom of contract, of an economy based on individualism and [...]

Everyone is a Child

The Washington Post reports: Regardless of the political fallout, historians say health-care reform will take its place in the same category as the enactment of Social Security in 1935 and Medicare in 1965, and only a rung or two below passage of the major civil rights bills of the 1950s and 1960s. In addition to [...]

Napoleon and Obama

When Napoleon marched on Moscow in 1812, he had 600,000 troops. After defeat, only 40,000 frost-bitten and half starved survivors stumbled back into France. Are Democrats setting themselves up for this kind of debacle? Hopefully so. Passage of the unpopular health bill could sink them. Their big gamble might be as disastrous as Napoleon’s, Rahm [...]

Sex-change Operations On Demand

Forcing Taxpayers to Support Abortion, Sex-Change and Physician Assisted Suicide It should be alarmingly clear that if national health dictates pass, it will only be matter of time before advocates secure payments for abortion, sex-change operations and physician assisted suicide, either by forcing private insurers to cover them, or under government-run plans. Every American will [...]

New ObamaCare Cost Estimate

New ObamaCare Cost Estimate By me Healthcare reform is projected to cost $900 billion. Don’t believe it. Like yeast, waistlines and Gore’s rhetoric, government costs expand. Take Boston’s Big Dig, the massive tunnel project. Estimate: $2 billion. Actual: $15 billion, more than seven times as high. Take Scotland’s Parliament building. Estimate: $680 million. Actual: $7.70 [...]
