This heart rending story of a denied test on a young woman not only underscores how the ‘death panels’ operate, it thrusts the human tragedy of government run health care deep into one’s soul: Mrs Brickell, first asked for a smear test at the age of 19 but was told she didn’t need one until [...]

One of the strange by-products of the UK National Health Service (the UK’s version of a ‘public option’. a.k.a. government run health care, single payer, Obamacare, etc.) is the complete lack of transparency and accountability regarding malpractice. Government entities usually have the nasty ability to cover up their mistakes and hide them from the public [...]

I know some people are mocking the term “death panel” as it applies to government run health care, but sadly the term is a good summation of what happens when faceless bureaucrats dole out treatments based on cost and not need. What is just ridiculously ironic is how the UK and Canadian models of government [...]

Updates Below! The Liberal Democrats in DC and liberal organizations that have been pushing their far left proposals on government run health care are facing an uprising the likes of which I have never seen before. It is an uprising of the seniors, the soon to be seniors, and their families, and it is spreading [...]

Update Below! It is clear now that our young President probably blew his whole first term when he handed over to the liberals in Congress the design of an economic stimulus package. These people are so wrapped up in fantasy they actually thought government spending, as sluggish as it always has been, could ‘stimulate’ job [...]

Not sure why but we’ve been taken offline twice today. Good thing AJ left me in charge while he’s out watching his Dolphins play! -LJStrata

It is no surprise to most people that America on average leans far more to the conservative side of things than the liberal side. In fact, Gallup has come out with a large study showing that self described ‘conservatives’ outnumber ‘liberals’ in all 50 states. It is so one sided that there is only one [...]

I have been noting the draconian steps the UK is taking and considering to cut costs to its government run health care system. These cost cutting measures include panels who decide what life styles should be barred from treatments, whether the system should be designed to only deal with the sick and not focus on [...]

I was perusing the left wing fevered swamps and noted a lot of crazy reactions to the news Team Obama and the Dems in the Senate are preparing to dump the ‘public option’ of health care reform – a.k.a. government run health care (maybe they could just run it out of spare space in the [...]

Liberals came to DC thinking America would allow them to indulge in their most extreme left wing fantasies. They horribly misread the public’s mandate when they threw the GOP out of power and gave President Obama and a Democrat led Congress a chance to prove they could solve problems. As usual, a party dominated by [...]

Well it seems the liberals are going to self destruct ugly, because now they are harrassing handicapped women in Town Halls who have very valid concerns with the liberal take over of health care and all these plans to triage care to only those who can become useful cogs in society: It seems this angry [...]

I have to agree with Scott Gottleib over at the Wall Street Journal – the health care debacle (can we call this mess a debate?) has exposed our young President’s disturbing naiveté about health care, government and America in general. It’s like his entire life experience base is was formed from watching network TV shows [...]

Major Update: Incredibly we have two examples of the Inquisitor’s death panels in action today. There is one operating in the State of Oregon (one place I was once thinking about retiring to – clearly not anymore): Oregon’s Health Plan does not cover everyone in the state as Obama’s Gov’t Care Plan eventually aims to [...]

I for one do not support everything President Obama has done domestically (though I do soundly support his efforts so far regarding Iraq, Afghanistan and the NSA-FISA changes Bush put in place after 9-11). But I will be damned if I will tolerate anyone threatening our President or his wonderful family. There were signs comparing President [...]

Update: BTW Jay over at Stop The ACLU has an interesting update on one of many of those so called Palin ethics violations – seems she has been cleared again! – end update Right now health care is available to all, no one can be turned away. If you have the means you can buy whatever [...]
