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

I could be wrong, of course—maybe Obama’s ...

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 say that the main thing no one is talking about in the health care debate is "our neighbors"?
