Patients First

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

The health care battle heats up as issue advocacy groups, such as Americans for Prosperity, start running ads against Obama’s government-run plan.

Stop government-run health care

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

An advertisement produced by the RNC that won’t air on ABC because, well, our money (and message) is no good to them. The only currency (and message) ABC currently accepts is unpaid-for, deficit-increasing, bureaucratic-based, and government-run, unless of course, such is proposed by a Republican, and then ABC is automatically against it.

How will they pay for it?

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

Good question.

The Republican strategy to defeat health care looks like it will be to attack the price tag in a time of recession. That may be effective short-term, but I think it is a mistake long-term.
By basing our argument on cost, we essentially are arguing over procedure, not substance; not right now, we cannot afford […]

Bush Vetoes SCHIP Legislation

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007

Bush Vetoed the SCHIP legislation earlier today, citing its fiscal irresponsbility stemming from its coverage of adults, children who already have private insurance and children of parents who make $80,000 a year.

Quote of the Day

Monday, October 1st, 2007

Let’s be clear: This is not a debate over whether we’re going to provide health insurance for our nation’s low-income children, because we all agree that we will do that. This is a debate over whether we should move to nationalize health care.
-Senator Mel Martinez (R-Fl) in today’s Orlando Sentinel on the underlying focus of […]

Extend SCHIP program without spending billions to expand it

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

An article published in USA Today, written by Mike Leavitt:
We all want to see every American insured, and President Bush has proposed a plan to see that everyone is. Congress, instead, is pushing a massive expansion of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) that grows government without helping nearly as many children.
The president’s plan, […]

Obama and his mom

Monday, September 24th, 2007

Barack Obama has a new TV commercial out, titled “Mother.” This is an attempt to stop Hillary’s momentum on the health care issue.

Is it just me, or does Obama sound devoid of compassion as he talks about his mom. He sounds so removed, and distant. And then he launches quickly into “I have a plan,” […]

Hillary Clinton’s Health Care Plan Violates Founding Principles, Freedom and is Ineffective

Monday, September 24th, 2007

Broadly, there are two problems with Hillary Clinton’s recent universal health care proposal – not to mention universal healthcare in general – one is philosophical and the other if empirical
First, assume that Hillary Clinton’s health care proposal is efficient and effective at insuring every American and low cost. Then ask yourself, without considering the […]
