ABC explains the Obama Administration
ABC News Senior White House Correspondent Jake Tapper has written an article, “When Academic Words Become Political Ammunition,” that gives an anonymous “White House official’s” rebuttal to the many concerns expressed about President Obama’s choices for advisers and “czars” who will affect the shape of health care policies. He attempts to debunk criticisms of the … Continue reading
>Congressman Henry Cuellar on Planned Parenthood
>Went to this morning’s McQueeney, Texas meeting where Henry Cuellar was met with an overwhelming group of constituents upset over what’s happening in Washington, DC. Rep.

Myth: doctors take out tonsils needlessly
Then, there’s the charge that doctors will needlessly take tonsils out. First, it’s unlikely that your Family Physician or Pediatrician does surgery. Second, I don’t think the ENT’s are getting paid for these anymore, unless they jump through hoops to prove that they’re not over-doing it. AP: In trying to rally support for health care … Continue reading

>Thoughts on Obama’s health speech July 22, 2009
>Why doesn’t the President just say that the Executive branch employees in his Administration will get rid of their insurance and go on Medicare???

>Ann Coulter on government Health Care finance
>On the other hand, there’s Ann Coulter’s take. Give Ann a chance, here. She makes some very good points. Addendum — Including this one: Now the Democrats want to force us all into one gigantic national health insurance plan that will cover every real and mythical ailment that has a powerful lobby.

>Health Care Reform: Tax and Spend (and abortion on tax dollars)
>(Editorial correction: Sermo was not begun by the AMA. It is a private group, possibly funded originally by pharmaceutical companies. But, no one there knew the funding source.)(The vote is now nearly 11,000, and still against the new plan.) How about a simple solution to the rising government expenditures for health care: don’t “force Congress” … Continue reading
Obama cancels meeting of President’s Council Bioethics
I wonder whether the new commission/committee/council will have even one pro-life member? Will Robert P. George (one of only 3 or 4 conservative bioethicist with tenure at a major university), for example, have a spot? And remember the fuss and bother when some of the members of President Bush’s Council were replaced in March, 2004? … Continue reading
>$1 Trillion to cover 11 Million people
>According to the Associated Press, 37 Million people would remain uninsured under the legislation discussed in Kennedy’s Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. If there are 48 million uninsured, now (not, more below), then one trillion dollars to cover an additional 11 million people. Can you imagine? There’s no coverage at all for people … Continue reading
