RealClearPolitics - What 'Right' to Health Care?
RealClearPolitics - What 'Right' to Health Care?:
As the issue of health care reform builds to a legislative climax, it is important that we not merely parrot the same kinds of proposals we have seen for the past 50 years. A Point of View writer on this page recently lamented that 'after a half-century of attempted reform' we have not reached the promised land of equality in health care. Let me rephrase this: After 50 years of increasing government interventions, through a maze of agencies that now control half of all medical dollars in America, the financial mess is getting worse."

Charles Lane - House Health-Care Reform Bill Oversteps on End-of-Life Issues - washingtonpost.com:
About a third of Americans have living wills or advance-care directives expressing their wishes for end-of-life treatment. When seniors who don't have them arrive in a hospital terminally ill and incapacitated, families and medical workers wrestle with uncertainty -- while life-prolonging machinery runs, often at Medicare's expense. This has consequences for families and for the federal budget."

Obama Says Grandmother’s Hip Replacement Raises Cost Questions - Bloomberg.com:
April 29 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama said his grandmother’s hip-replacement surgery during the final weeks of her life made him wonder whether expensive procedures for the terminally ill reflect a “sustainable model” for health care.
The president’s grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, had a hip replaced after she was diagnosed with cancer, Obama said in an interview with the New York Times magazine that was published today. Dunham, who lived in Honolulu, died at the age of 86 on Nov. 2, 2008, two days before her grandson’s election victory."

NBC, CNN and MSNBC All Assign Communist LaRouche's Obama-Hitler Poster to Conservatives, Limbaugh | NewsBusters.org
NBC, CNN and MSNBC All Assign Communist LaRouche's Obama-Hitler Poster to Conservatives, Limbaugh | NewsBusters.org:
The media have repeatedly stated how 'angry,' 'hostile' and 'ugly' town hall meetings across America are becoming. They are of course largely ascribing the nastiness to conservatives voicing their opposition to (among other things) President Barack Obama and Congress' proposed government takeover of the health care system.
The press has been particularly offended by the 'extreme' use of references to Adolf Hitler specifically and Nazis generally. One image they have repeatedly used as an example of this alleged right-wing extremism is a poster of President Obama - on whose face a Hitler mustache has been Photo Shopped - bearing the caption 'I've Changed.'"

Obama's healthcare horror | Salon
Even when saying something I agree with - Pelosi, Boxer....you name them...they must go....they cannot RESIST taking another smack at GWB as "feckless and buffoonish"...good lord let it go....
Obama's healthcare horror | Salon:
Buyer's remorse? Not me. At the North American summit in Guadalajara this week, President Obama resumed the role he is best at -- representing the U.S. with dignity and authority abroad. This is why I, for one, voted for Obama and continue to support him. The damage done to U.S. prestige by the feckless, buffoonish George W. Bush will take years to repair. Obama has barely begun the crucial mission that he was elected to do."

American Thinker Blog: Obama Lies About Supporting Single Payer at NH Town Hall
So the Drive By Media wonders aloud why the Town Hall Meeting in NH was so calm...while others are so "harsh"....couldn't be that they stacked the audience, could it? Now, I don't blame them for doing so, it's an adept political move....just don't act like we're all too stupid to see it for what it was....
American Thinker Blog: Obama Lies About Supporting Single Payer at NH Town Hall:
In response to an ill-framed question - one of only two that were not from Obama supporters - asked of him at the Potemkin Village-style health care 'town hall' in Portsmouth, New Hampshire on August 11, President Obama said this:"

American Thinker: Michelle is Right: America is Mean!
American Thinker: Michelle is Right: America is Mean!:
Last year, when Michelle Obama declared, 'America is a mean country,' I disagreed. As the white mom of multi-racial children, I knew our country had its share of race problems, but I never would have called America 'mean.'
Apparently, Michelle's 'mean America' comment was simply premonitory. Last year, I was a sweet, na�ve, middle class, white Italian-American businesswoman and single mother. This year, I'm a racist, Brooks-Brothers'-suit-wearing, rabid, Nazi, right-wing, political terrorist wacko. How did that happen?"

American Thinker: Midas Muffler, Not Canada is the Model for Health Care Reform
American Thinker: Midas Muffler, Not Canada is the Model for Health Care Reform:
Today's healthcare debate often focuses on helping the uninsured, the unemployed, the working poor or those who otherwise cannot afford expensive insurance or hefty out-of-pocket fees. This 'under-served' population may be relatively small in number, but their easily publicized problems -- sick children needlessly suffering when parents cannot afford a $200 doctor office visit -- in many ways drives Obamacare."
