That's the format of a joke I often told about calling up state regulators when I was in private practice. They go off duty at 5 p.m., so the phone stops being answered at a few minutes before because a conversation started at 4:57...
The University of Virginia expects to incur a $7 million bill from Obamacare’s employer penalties, said Susan Carkeek, the University’s vice president and chief human resources officer. “We’re expecting fairly significant cost implications from the Affordable Care Act that pass on new penalties and charges,...
Now they tell them! President Obama's enemies often accuse him, in the starkest political terms, of crudely acting to shift resources toward his political base: Green energy donors; single women; Latinos; African-Americans. But the next 12 months are likely to reveal the opposite. Imminent elements of Obama's...
I previously posted about The first battle of the next Tea Party wave — December 5 rally in Nashville against Obamacare exchange. The protest, while not huge, was well attended. Governor Bill Haslam was on the fence. No more. Via Linda in Tennessee, Haslam says Tennessee will not...
Short answer, Yes. But please keep reading, anyway. I have pointed out many times that we should not be fooled into siding with large corporations just because the left claims to hate them. The enemy of our enemy is not always our friend. We saw that in...
Opposition to Obamacare fueled the Tea Party wave of 2009-2010. The next wave will include continued opposition to Obamacare, along with other fiscal issues, The Tea Party tsunami at the gates. The fight over Obamacare as a law ended when Chief Justice John Roberts enganged in...
The Supreme Court has issued a summary Order (h/t @JamieDupree) vacating the 4th Circuits decision in the Obamacare case brought by Liberty University. Via ScotusBlog: The Supreme Court on Monday arranged for a Virginia university to go forward with new challenges to two key sections of the...
I have written numerous times about AARP's love affair with Obamacare, including recently disclosed documents showing coordination of strategy. Proponents of Obamacare often cited AARP's support as the equivalent of the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. Few AARP members probably realize how big a role AARP...
I haven't written much lately about the insurance sales organization doing business as a senior citizens advocacy group using the name AARP. You have AARP, among other corporate sell-outs, to thank for Obamacare, as I posted in 2009-2010: When Will AARP, Consumers Union and AMA Be Held To Account...
There are times it seems overwhelming how corrupted various aspects of society have become in the effort to impose Obamacare on the country. Hollywood is being pitched by the ad agency hired by California to promote its Obamacare health exchanges to promote Obamacare through sitcoms, reality shows...

A.F. Branco produced this cartoon last April for CDN, but it is amazingly appropriate right now. Democrats, not Paul Ryan, throw granny over the cliff by failing to act like adults in saving Medicare and Social Security. It's a fact just now being told in the media, and it is...
Ron Wyden has rolled out a Cory Booker-like hostage statement rejecting the notion that he and Paul Ryan cooperated in developing a solution to the looming Medicare collapse. Via Roll Call, Ron Wyden Takes Issue With Mitt Romney Linking Him to Paul Ryan: At a Saturday...
There is no more misleading imagery than the ad run by Democrats in which a Paul Ryan-looking figure throws Granny off a cliff due to Medicare cuts: The ad has it exactly opposite to reality. Republican proposals would keep Medicare the same for people already in...
Fortunately, I missed most of the Olympics opening ceremony. Reader Matt sent this link to the BBC with the request "Please tell me this will get a post!!: AP also is running this photo and explanation: Actors lying on beds meant to represent Britain's National Health Service (NHS)...
Via Fox News: The Catholic family that owns a Colorado-based company won a court victory in their battle to stop the Obama administration from requiring them to provide insurance coverage for abortion-inducing drugs, sterilization and contraception, a mandate they say violates their religious beliefs and First...
Saving Obamacare by calling a penalty a tax has created all sorts of political contortions. What if the Supreme Court had called a dog a cat, would we then be required to call a dog a cat, particularly if it were better for us? That's where we...
