>Courts force 14 States to pay for elective abortions
>Here’s an interesting fact: of the 17 states that use their own Medicaid funds to cover elective abortions, 14 of them were forced to do so by the courts. (Georgia may be the next one.) The “Hyde Amendment” has been added to Federal health care funding bills since 1976. Those who support abortion on demand … Continue reading
>Buzz on SCHIP – crisis interrupted or delayed
>Do we want health insurance for everyone or do we want government health insurance for everyone? The current system increases the chances that employee coverage for children will decrease, that more gaps will occur because of changes in jobs and the delays inherent in qualifying for government assistance. A simple flat tax deduction for health … Continue reading
>More on Clinton Health Plan
>After my review about some of the news coverage of Hillary Clinton’s proposed government healthcare plan, I did some more digging. The Kaisernetwork.org review is here. A Wall Street Journal editorial is here. The proposed Clinton plan mandates coverage and depends on 1/3 of its revenue from “$35 billion in savings to the government through … Continue reading
>Government mandated healthcare is government-controlled healthcare
>According to this article from the Associated Press, Hillary Clinton envisions a day when you will have to show proof of insurance to your employer prior to being hired for a job. By BETH FOUHY, Associated Press Writer Tue Sep 18, 12:59 PM ET WASHINGTON – Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday that a mandate … Continue reading
>More on Liberal Conservative Nature Neuroscience article
>Dr. Amodio, the corresponding author of the report I mentioned Thursday, “Neurocognitive correlates of liberalism and conservatism,” was kind enough to send me the article and the supporting material. The picture above is the figure that accompanies the 2 page report. I believe that the paper may demonstrate some evidence concerning the part of the … Continue reading
>Parental Notification for Abortion Decreases STD risk
>Instinctively, I believe that many of us knew this. However, now we have documentation to point to. The Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization Advance Access published an article online by Jonathan Klick and Thomas Stratmann on September 4, 2007 , entitled, Abortion Access and Risky Sex Among Teens: Parental Involvement Laws and Sexually Transmitted … Continue reading
>Liberal/conservative neuro-experiments?
>Nature Neuroscience has reported on an experiment that is being touted as proving that “liberals” are smarter than “conservatives.” Or, as the LATimes’ Denise Gallene states, “that liberals tolerate ambiguity and conflict better than conservatives because of how their brains work.” I wonder whether these findings mean that all those visual field tests we’ve been … Continue reading
>States demand Feds subsidize middle class insurance
>$82,000 for a family of four is not “poor,” or even the “working poor,” except perhaps in Manhattan. Could it be that the State and local taxes make these families the “working poor” and are more responsible than the “high cost of insurance” for the families’ perception that they can not afford health insurance? Remember, … Continue reading
>The all or nothing dilemma (SCHIP)
> The advocates of government-funded health care are (repeatedly, pleadingly, as though they are in some weakened, minority status) urging doctors and everyone with an eye to see or ear to hear to let our legislators know that we, too, want government to grow, to own medical care, and to tax us and regulate us … Continue reading
>Gambling with CHIP (Pork, Perks and Politics, not Poker)
>We’ve been hearing and reading about how desperately Congress needs to pass the bill to fund – and expand – SCHIP, the Children’s Health Insurance Program. However, you may not have heard about the pork, perks and politics that are included in the current versions of the House and Senate bills, which led President Bush … Continue reading
