The ugly truth of government rationing: In a letter to The Daily Telegraph, a group of experts who care for the terminally ill claim that some patients are being wrongly judged as close to death. Under NHS guidance introduced across……

Dave Barry on 9-11, at Wizbang:

"The people who did this to us are monsters; the people who cheered them have hate-sickened minds. One reason they can cheer is that they know we would never do to them what their heroes did to us, even though we…

Ensign Ed wonders if the subject of Red Barry’s latest weekly radio address – not BarryCare – is a tacit indication that his health care putch-push has run out of gas: Obama appears to want a way to ride out……

Only a state of morons and imbeciles could have brought us Ventura, Smalley, and Ellison. Aside from the few who carry water for conservative causes, Minnesotans have become both a laughingstock and the shame of this country.

Here are last week’s Council results, barely a day before this week’s nominations get posted. I know that’s the kind of timeliness and efficiency you’ve come to expect from MR, and I wouldn’t dream of offering any less. Joshuapundit’s……

He is also an example of a PC elected representative who gathered votes because of his uniqueness, not necessarily his qualifications or his positions. (Sound familiar?)

What if the “out of touch people” decide they don’t WANT to pay for your healthcare as well as their own? And yes,he sure does represent his district–Uptown yuppies,(who love their tax write-offs almost as much as they love socialism,)marxist wannabees,”artistes,” “urban pioneers,” U of M students,illegal aliens,the Somali community,(those who are not back in Africa blowing themselves up,)Yep, “regular” people.The entitlement mentality abounds in Ellison-land and he encourages it.
Bachmann’s district? Farmers, factory workers,people who actually pay taxes and support the sorry lazy butts of the “regular” people in Ellison’s District.Yeah, LOTS of Minnesotans feel at home there.
You incredible elitist.

You beat me to the punch, thanks for posting…..

Onward Forward and Upward!!

That leaves local insurers who provide purely local facilities and practices a chance to remain out of the hands of larger companies that will then ‘standardize’ them and remove locally adjusted services and pricing. If you truly want less Federal government and want cross-state health insurance, then the place to start is not at the top, but the bottom: work with your State governments to do this.

Mind you that doesn’t take getting an Act of Congress passed, just some hard, local lobbying and work. And since it keeps the Federal government OUT you don’t have to pay the Federal government FOR it.

I still place tort reform first: it has worked well where tried, like Texas, and really should be investigated by other States, as well. Folks do want their States to be involved in purely State and local matters, no?

Ellison’s idea of “diversity” is having a teleconference comprising people who all believe the same thing.

Actually, Ellison said that they had a diverse groups on the left, not that the groups were diverse because they were on the left.
Hey, at least Ellison admits that he is on the left.
Kudos EM on a great analysis regarding life expectancy numbers which directly relate to quality of care and innovation in treatment. By the way, another factor is our relatively high rate of vehicular traffic fatalities.

Is that also in Obamacare?

It’s completely about control of money (ours) and control over who lives or who does not. For this administration, that’s like buy one get one free.
