Friday Fly-By

Friday, May 9th, 2008

There are football fans and then there is this young man:

The most sensible and concise article I have read to date on “Operation Chaos” appeared in the Washington Post:
Those looking for evidence of Limbaugh’s influence pointed to Clinton’s edge among Republicans in Indiana and North Carolina. In Indiana, 10 percent of Democratic primary voters [...]

Do You Really Want Government Sponsored Health Care?

Monday, February 11th, 2008

The joke going around now is if we get government sponsored health care where will the Canadians go for medical treatment.
How would you like to be the patient or the patient’s family in this situation?
We know they are sending mothers to the US to give birth or sending the babies to the US after being [...]

Decreases seen in the child mortality rate in Afghanistan

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

This is indeed good news from Afghanistan.
Six years after the Taliban’s ouster, medical care in Afghanistan has improved such that nearly 90,000 children who would have died before age 5 in 2001 will survive this year, Afghan President Hamid Karzai said Sunday.
Saddled for years with one of the world’s worst records on child health, Afghanistan [...]

Hillary’s Propaganda Machine

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

I ran into an interesting piece in Slate today and thought I’d share it with you:
Politicians don’t call it dissembling, deceiving, or lying. They call it media management, and no administration has practiced this black art better in recent times than that of President Bill Clinton. In his 1998 book, Spin Cycle: Inside the Clinton [...]

So You Want Socialized Medicine? Read This First

Friday, October 12th, 2007

From The Midnight Sun with permission to publish in its entirety:
Got this from via email from a friend today. Worth reading, and quite informative.
Subject: Canada’s Health care system from a Canadians point of view.
Hey Guys; I saw on the news up here in Canada where Hillary Clinton
Introduced her new health care plan. Something similar to [...]

Canada’s Highly Praised Health Care System Strained

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

It seems there is a baby boom in British Columbia. So much so that the nationalized health care system can’t handle the load.
Mothers in British Columbia are having a baby boom, but it’s the United States that has to deliver, and that has some proud Canadians blasting their highly touted government healthcare system.
“I’m a [...]

It’s That Time of Year Again

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

Yesterday I had my regular 3 month check-up with the doctor.
Because I’m a diabetic I see him every 3 months to check my blood sugar levels over the past 3 months. We’ve had a bear of a time keeping my triglycerides under control, so I’m hoping for some better news in that department.
Since I [...]

How Will We Pay for S-CHIP as Proposed?

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

On Sunday Senators Trent Lott and Chuck Schumer debated the S-Chip program on Fox News Sunday.
After reading the full transcript I can’t understand how the Congresscritters who voted for this increase realistically plan to pay for the program.
Senator Schumer says it’s pay as you go.
In one way or another, they lose out for the rest [...]

Mark Steyn on HillaryCare II

Monday, September 24th, 2007

Mark Steyn, in his usual (some would say sarcastic) way, explains HillaryCare II to us.
A year ago, I wrote that “the story of the Western world since 1945 is that, invited to choose between freedom and government ‘security,’ large numbers of people vote to dump freedom – the freedom to make your own decisions about [...]

A Tale of Canadian Socialized Medicine

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

A Liberal Member of Parliament in Canada, home of the world’s greatest health care system according to some, has come to the United States to get an operation for her breast cancer.
I actually found some of the comments in the article quite interesting:
Flanagan
If I had her money, I’d receive my primary care in the States [...]

Hillary Gives AP Interview on Her Healthcare Plan

Wednesday, September 19th, 2007

Hillary Clinton says her healthcare plan does not have anything punitive in it as of now, but at some point she can see showing proof of insurance in order to get a job.
“At this point, we don’t have anything punitive that we have proposed,” the presidential candidate said in an interview with The Associated Press. [...]

Karl Rove: Republicans Can Win on Health Care

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

Karl Rove has an opinion piece in today’s Opinion Journal, saying the same things I’ve been saying about the dangers of socialized medicine.
All around America, families are grappling with health-care concerns. They wonder if they’ll have insurance at a price they can afford. They worry about how much out-of-pocket health costs take from the family [...]

Socialized Medicine Hugo Chavez Style

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

A Venezuelan man who was injured in a car accident was declared dead and an autopsy begun and then stopped when the pathologists saw he was bleeding.
CARACAS (Reuters) - A Venezuelan man who had been declared dead woke up in the morgue in excruciating pain after medical examiners began their autopsy.
Carlos Camejo, 33, was [...]

The New, Improved Hillary Care

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

The new, improved Hillary health care program sounds a lot like the old one and more like Big Brother on steroids.
The plan would mandate everyone have health insurance or they would lose some tax breaks.
Anyone making over $250,000 a year would have their existing tax cuts expire and the government would fork over $110 billion [...]

You, Too, Can Have A Bionic Body

Friday, August 24th, 2007

I’ll take one.
Susan Burke’s left knee was humbling her. At 54, she wanted to hike and whitewater raft through the national parks or, at the very least, to stroll around the block with her husband at night, as she’d always done. Instead, she could barely walk from her desk to her office parking lot [...]

New Rules May Limit Health Care Program Aiding Children.

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

I just don’t understand this administration. I try but I just can’t. Why can’t we take just a few billion from Iraq and put it towards full coverage for our children?
The Bush administration, continuing its fight to stop states from expanding the popular Children’s Health Insurance Program, has adopted new standards that would make it [...]

Romney Talks Healthcare

Saturday, August 4th, 2007

Former Massachusetts governor and current presidential candidate Mitt Romney was in a diner in New Hampshire when the question of health care came up.
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Michele Griffin didn’t want to hear Mitt Romney talk about how to fight the spread of AIDS around the world.
“What about our nation? How ’bout the USA? C’mon!” yelled [...]
