Managed Care Scam
I am a doctor. I wanted to share the below which was first published in an online publication of a physician community, Sermo. It is a rather accurate assessment of what has been the reality of health care in our country. Physicians are being squeezed out of existence. There is the spectre of a 21% [...]

11. March 2010
A non-partisan study finds that ObamaCare will raise taxes on the middle class, a direct violation of his campaign promise not to raise taxes on anyone making less that $250,000 per year. The Senate health care bill crucial to saving President Obama’s signature domestic initiative will hit the wallets of a quarter of all Americans making [...]

9. March 2010
The AP reported this week that: [A] new provision in the health care bill will require businesses to count part-time workers when calculating penalties for failing to provide coverage. As we warned in in October of last year measures such as these hurt small businesses and part-time workers (particularly students, working mothers, and people who [...]

5. March 2010
At his recent health care press conference President Obama told some real whoppers. Among others, he said that his proposal “would bring down the cost of health care for millions—families, businesses and the federal government” and then added that it was “fully paid for.” And not only that, but it would bring down the deficit [...]

19. February 2010
We are being coerced into an electronic medical records system, which the Government will “keep safe” for us and allow access to physicians treating patients. We are to accept the assertion that the data base will be secure and that our most private medical information will never fall into the wrong hands. Certainly the ability [...]

16. February 2010
I am sharing this discussion which was sent to me. It is a retelling of a history of disaster. I also remember the warning that whoever does not learn from history is destined to relive it. Read below to the end. Learn what really happened. It can and will unless we vote out the people [...]

2. February 2010
I remember my first car. It was an old Renault Dauphine. It was a real piece of junk. But it was MY piece of junk. I had worked for it. I saved the money I earned from my after school job and paid for it myself. No one bought it for me. I did the [...]

25. January 2010
Slavery in the United States was officially abolished by the Emancipation Proclamations of 1862 and 1863. That does not mean that there are not people still enslaved in our country. It is not necessarily the kind of slavery that most of us readily identify as such, but a slavery of the spirit. Our welfare system [...]

19. January 2010
Why does the world dislike the United States? We saved France in World War I. We saved Europe in World War II. We rebuilt Europe after WWII. We rebuilt Japan after WWII. We saved South Korea and rebuilt it. We send supplies, rescuers, and money to every natural disaster in the world, even to our [...]

6. January 2010
We’ve worked hard to slow down the passage of the Health Economy Takeover, and we must do more. (Scroll down for the URGENT ACTION ITEMS.) US News & World Report is reporting that Democratic Leaders are planning secret health reform deliberations. Despite their claims to the contrary, the way that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader [...]

19. December 2009
Judas got 30 pieces of silver. Esau got a mess of pottage. Benedict Arnold offered to sell out his countrymen for cash. And now joining the long line of the imbecile pansy squishes is Big Ben Nelson. And for what did he sell his soul? Medicaid subsidies for Nebraska … all paid for by the [...]

15. December 2009
This is a marvelous season of both joy, and, for some, unhappiness over loss, or the perceived loss of what never materialized. I see this in too many of my patients. Never the less, it is a season of love. Love takes so many forms. There is the love of friends who help enrich our [...]

14. December 2009
We all make judgments based on our prior experiences, so for a moment or two, I would like to wax autobiographical. When I was growing up, my father had a retail establishment that was extremely busy during the Christmas season. In the early 1960’s, before it was mandated that high school students were to be [...]

7. December 2009
Michael Cloud, in his wonderful book Secrets of Libertarian Persuasion, teaches a “Six-Step Recipe for Cooking Big Government.” The six steps are a pattern to follow when talking with others about a proposed Big Government program. The steps are predicated on helping others who naively support Big Government programs see that these Big Government programs don’t work [...]

2. December 2009
What follows is excerpted from a letter from Stephen E. Frazer, MD, an anesthesiologist in Indianapolis, to Sen. Bayh. Clearly Dr. Frazer has too much time or insomnia to have read the entire House Bill to “reform health care” in our country. I have not included Dr. Frazer’s pleas to the senator, which will, no [...]

11. November 2009
U.S. employers who tell workers to stay home when they are sick will have to give them paid time off for up to five days. This creates perverse incentives.

9. November 2009
I don’t see the MSM talking about it, but this was clearly the most important takeaway from the PelosiCare vote. Not only was it not bi-partisan, it wasn’t even close to unanimous within the Democratic Party. Divisive. Toxic. Political Suicide. Nearly 20% of House Democrats refused to stand with Pelosi and Obama. Or did Pelosi and Obama refuse to stand with [...]

We got this fantastic email today from an SBABG member. Please follow this member’s lead. You can still make a big difference in the health care debate and influence your congressional representative to vote against PelosiCare. We’ve bolded a few items in the email that we think this member did very well – we particularly love [...]

5. November 2009
Nancy Pelosi is toxic and anyone politically tied to her will be hurt by their association in the next round of elections. Look at this recent chart in the Wall Street Journal. Only 27% of Americans feel positively about Nancy Pelosi. That’s pretty remarkable considering that means that only half of Obama voters like her. In 2006 [...]
