Page 425 (end of life counseling)
I received several emails over the last few days concerning page 425 of the House Bill on Health Reform, HR 3200, which outlines mandatory end of life “options” counseling. Technically, it appears on the surface to allow doctors (and other “providers”) to charge for the counseling. But, yes, it’s mandated counseling and in the wrong … 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.

Nevertheless, doctors at Minnesota’s Mayo Clinic have come out against the current plans for health “reform.” They are joined by … Continue reading
Governor Jindal reminds us how FEMA helped flood insurance
You may not be aware that the only way to buy flood insurance is through FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency. In fact, the Agency draws the lines for the Flood Plains and so, decides whether you need flood insurance. Executive Order 12127 President Carter’s 1979 executive order merged many of the separate disaster-related responsibilities … Continue reading
Redefining, Reducing and Rationing Health Care
Peter Singer, in his op-ed for the New York Times this weekend, seems to be unaware of the difference that our mobility in the United States – both in geography and society – can make. We have choices, can call on friends and family and/or gain sympathy of the wider community (as demonstrated by the … Continue reading
