Why Save Medicare?
Comments OffEPIC v. DHS Lawsuit — FOIA’d Documents Raise New Questions About Body Scanner Radiation Risks
Comments OffThe Supreme Court and FDR’s Power Grab
Comments OffApparently, this exemption will apply similarly to believers in Islam, which considers health insurance – and, for that matter, any form of risk insurance – to be haraam (forbidden).
Rank-and-file House and Senate staffers will be forced out of the Federal Employees Health Benefit Plan (FEHBP) and into the restricted federal health insurance exchanges, but not the leadership or committee congressional staff or the federal civil service bureaucrats who will be making your health care decisions for you.

Comments OffExposing hypocrisy from within the womb
Comments OffGood Catholic Nancy Pelosi prayed to Joseph, patron saint of expectant mothers, to assist in convincing legislators pass a “life affirming vote” for a bill that provides pregnant women the funds to purge fruit from the womb. If Pelosi gets her way, answered prayer would have assisted an unwed mother named Mary the means to get rid of an inconvenience named Jesus.

Comments OffProcess Is Liberty
Comments OffObamacare is a move towards dictatorship
Comments OffTo begin with, much of what has been said about the law and its implications is in fact true, despite what the Democrats and the media are saying. The law does provide for rationing of health care, particularly where senior citizens and other classes of citizens are involved.
MY HEALTH CARE PLAN
Comments OffWe can’t have a free market in health insurance until Congress eliminates the antitrust exemption protecting health insurance companies from competition. If Democrats really wanted to punish insurance companies, which they manifestly do not, they’d make insurers compete.
Health Care Expands IRS by 16,500 Agents
Comments OffThe IRS is the Democrats’ chosen instrument of enforcement for the new health insurance mandates. Should the bill become law, the IRS will have sweeping new powers and authorities and will grow in size exponentially to accommodate its new role in health care mandate enforcement.
• IRS agents verify if you have “acceptable” health care coverage;
• IRS has the authority to fine you up to $2,250 or 2 percent of your income (whichever is greater) for failure to prove that you have purchased “minimum essential coverage;”
• IRS may need to hire as many as 16,500 additional auditors, agents and other employees to investigate and collect billions in new taxes from Americans;
• IRS can confiscate your tax refund;
• IRS audits are likely to increase;
• IRS will need up to $10 billion to administer the new health care program this decade; and
• Nearly half of all these new individual mandate taxes will be paid by Americans earning less than 300 percent of poverty ($66,150 for a family of four.)
The Republicans noted that despite the new mandates on American citizens, the Democrats prohibit the IRS from imposing these same taxes and penalties on illegal immigrants.
