American Thinker: Sarah Palin: A Leader Without A Party:
The Democrats -- and the Republicans too -- may find the next stage of Sarah Palin's public career uncomfortable. True to form, Sarah Palin, her Governorship behind her, clearly and forthrightly declared her intent: to take up arms against the forces dedicated to tearing down our Constitution, destroying our principles of government, disparaging our history of defense of democracy and free enterprise, weakening our military, and saddling generations to come with oppressive debt and entitlement programs.

Rick Scott Calls Out New York Times' Krugman on Health Care
"Mr. Krugman gets it partly right: meaningful health care reform should be based on four pillars. But his pillars of regulation, mandates, subsidies and competition are all about the heavy hand of government. The four pillars that work are
1) choice: of doctor and of health plan,
2) competition: as in allowing insurance companies to compete across state lines for business as life insurers now do,
3) accountability: as in allowing individuals the same tax deduction for health care as employers get, and
4) rewards for personal responsibility and healthy choices.
And these reforms don't come with a trillion-dollar price tag financed by higher taxes and higher premiums. They're cost-effective and proven to work - exactly the kind of solutions America is looking for right now."

Military planning for possible H1N1 outbreak - CNN.com:
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. military wants to establish regional teams of military personnel to assist civilian authorities in the event of a significant outbreak of the H1N1 virus this fall, according to Defense Department officials.
The proposal is awaiting final approval from Defense Secretary Robert Gates.
The officials would not be identified because the proposal from U.S. Northern Command's Gen. Victor Renuart has not been approved by the secretary.
The plan calls for military task forces to work in conjunction with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. There is no final decision on how the military effort would be manned, but one source said it would likely include personnel from all branches of the military."

Oddly enough, as the nation considers ObamaCare, the press is completely uninterested in the experience of Massachusetts and Hawaii, both of which have ambitious, and failed, experiments in trying to provide universal health care. Mitt Romney, the architect of the Bay State's health care plan, which is costing far more than expected, is largely absent from the airwaves, despite his legitimate claim to be an expert. The Boston Globe calls the plan a 'failure' and notes 'The state's plan flunks on all counts.'"

If you haven’t, read Erick’s post about an Oregon public health plan (”public option”) administrator responding to a cancer patient’s request for subsidized chemotherapy with a denial of treatment but an offer to fund a physician-assisted suicide.
Now, know this: over the course of this decade, the state of Oregon has put in place a formal procedure for rationing care to patients whose health coverage is subsidized by government (i.e., who are enrolled in some form of the state’s “public option”). To date, they are the only government in the world to have formally done this, though many — from Britain to Canada to states here in the U.S. — work “cost-effectiveness” into their official denials of medical treatment."

False Assumptions About Medicare
Illusions of Cost Control in Public Health Care Plans: "This rationale for creating a new public program modeled on Medicare is based on four erroneous beliefs:
(1) that Medicare, compared to private-sector health plans, provides comparable access to health care at costs that grow more slowly than those of the private sector;
(2) that Medicare has lower administrative costs than private insurance;
(3) that Medicare uses superior bargaining power to reduce health care costs without harm to patients; and
Help Wanted. Not.

All advocates of socialized medicine, including the President and his congressional accomplices, believe that government-imposed rationing is necessary to control health care costs. Having little faith in the judgment of individual patients and even less in the workings of the market, they are convinced that only the state is capable of efficiently allocating our medical resources."

Both U.S. political parties offend Joe the Plumber | Politics | Reuters:
HOLLAND, Ohio (Reuters) - 'Joe the Plumber,' who came to symbolize U.S. taxpayer frustration during last year's election, sounds even angrier now at what he sees as excessive government spending on the economy and healthcare reform.
'The politicians in Washington are spending trillions of dollars of our money. When are Americans going to stand up and say enough is enough?' said Joe Wurzelbacher, 35, in an interview on Friday at his modest suburban Ohio home."

DickMorris.com: Obama Healthcare Collapse
President Obama’s rhetoric last night summoned the memory of “1984,” George Orwell’s novel of a nightmarish future — where the slogan of the rulers is “War is peace; freedom is slavery; ignorance is strength.”
The president assures us that he will cut health-care spending . . . by adding $1 trillion to health-care spending."

American Thinker: Who Will President Obama Drum Up Hate Against Next?
Perhaps "We the People" who don't agree with his every "glorious" decision....????
American Thinker: Who Will President Obama Drum Up Hate Against Next?:
We have all watched this scene in numerous Western movies. The sheriff says his prisoner will receive a fair trial when the judge arrives in the morning. But, one loud mouth stands on the steps of the jail house and works the crowd into a frenzy. The enraged mob breaks down the door, brutalizes the sheriff, drags out the prisoner and hangs him. It is later discovered that the prisoner was innocent. As a child watching these movies, I was amazed how people sheepishly followed one loud mouth."

We call this "The devil in the details"...and this is why Obama and Co. want Healthcare rushed through before anyone can really read it and see what we're in for....Soylent Green anyone? And, if you don't know what that means....LOOK IT UP!
American Thinker: Useless Eaters:
While Americans worry over government insurance plans, longer waits for treatment, and 'healthcare rationing,' a more sinister agenda lurks in the shadows of the healthcare bill now before the House of Representatives. Today's Medicare recipients could be the first to experience our government's new solution to America's 'useless eaters.'"

Ha! As a small business, I can't get a $1.50 from this government in aid/and or lending right now (not that I'd really want it) .
