Most still oppose health care bill
2009-11-09 20:42:00 This is from Rasmussen Reports: Over the weekend, Democratic leaders spoke of an historic moment as health care reform legislation passed the House of Representatives. But that legislative victory failed to significantly move public opinion. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 45% now favor the health care plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. Most (52%) remain opposed. Only 25% Strongly Support the plan while 42% are Strongly OpposedWhich apparently means nothing to President Obama and the Democrats, because they have decided what is best for us....

Dear Reader....I Need Some Help! Why Should I Care About The NBA/Chicago B
2009-10-22 19:22:00 I've made it a goal of mine (sort of a new season's resolution) to watch more Chicago Bulls basketball this upcoming winter. However, like any other resolution I've tried...I'm already trying to figure a way out of it. Now I will admit I am not the biggest fan of the game. Come to think of it my favorite part of the NBA game is watching what Craig Sager is wearing and the last two minutes of a contest. It's just a slow boring game to me with little suspense or build up that I can get into. After last years' run of the Bulls in the postseason, I really got into the idea of rooting for cinderella only to have...

2009-10-20 21:39:00 [From Pragmatos] This piece by Robert Reich lays out the worst problems with the current health care legislation.

Media boost Obama's health care
2009-09-12 17:07:00 The Hawker-in-Chief managed to win over a few minds with his speech on his version--still Obama goes before Congress to sell health carewaiting to see the printed copy--of health care reform, according to the latest Rasmussen tracking poll. But, said the poll: The gain in overall support for the plan comes entirely from Democrats. Eighty-four percent (84%) of those in the President's party now support the health care plan, up from 72% earlier in the week. Support among Republicans is unchanged while support among those not affiliated with either major party has fallen. In other words, Obama didn't make headway with the cherished independent voters; in fact he lost more of their support.There's also this: If the plan passes, 28%...

Obama's Health Care Address: That's About as Simple as It Gets
2009-09-10 05:52:00 Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy Last night President Obama called upon congress to pass legislation overhauling the nation's health insurance system. If you haven't watched it, I recommend that you do. In the process of giving that speech, he tacked onto his public record a third piece of rhetoric that kids will probably read in history classes someday (or watch on some futuristic, less obnoxious version of YouTube). The first speech I'm talking about was his keynote address at the Democratic convention in '04, an essentially meaningless assurance that this divided country was less divided than it thinks. While this sentiment certainly has yet to pan out, it was nevertheless a poetic and...

Poll: Proof of citizenship should be required for health care coverage
2009-09-07 23:08:00 A new Rasmussen poll finds that 83 percent of voters nationwide say that people should be required to prove they are a citizen of the United States before receiving government health care subsidies.This undoubtedly will be regarded in some quarters as further proof of the ingrained bigotry of Americans, but I have to disagree. Just about everyone in this nation of immigrant citizens values their heritage and can appreciate that value when it is cherished by others. Said the poll: The desire to limit the benefits to U.S. citizens is found across demographic and partisan lines. It is held by 95% of Republicans, 70% of Democrats and 87% of those not affiliated with either major party. It is favored by...

Health Care: No More Baby Steps
2009-09-04 07:36:00 America has never been a country of baby steps. Franklin D. Roosevelt did not dream in baby steps when he imagined the New Deal. John F. Kennedy did not dream in baby steps when he encouraged NASA to reach for the moon. Health care reform has ignited passions on both sides. Those that think we are headed towards socialism are afraid they will be stuck with the bill for those that are not covered now. Those on the left want a plan that will efficiently cover all Americans. President Obama has been pushing this issue with all of his "political capital" after he was elected. Health care has been at the forefront of his political agenda for months now causing his own approval ratings to plummet.In mid-August President Obama signaled that he would be willing to concede ground on the public health care option in his health care reform overhaul. Instead of the public option there would be health insurance co-ops designed to provide low cost health insurance. The question remains h...

OK, did you watch it? Did you hear Coburn tell this woman--sick with grief over her husband's illness and their lack of insurance options--that the "government is not the answer" mere seconds after he told her to come to him (the government) for help? Did you hear Coburn say that the main thing no one is talking about in the health care debate is "our neighbors"? As if rather than having affordable health insurance for everyone, we can all just go... |
