And those differences are going to prove deadly in many different ways. HillaryCare was brash, in your face, frontal attack. In the mindset of a newbie to Washington and a "I know better what you need than you do; just trust me and all my secrecy", it was repulsed. It actually was fairly easy to …

I’ve blogged about socialized medicine (aka, "Universal Healthcare") a number of times here at the ‘Grok (here, here, and here for examples). And you know that the lure of "free" healthcare will appeal to a lot of people now that we are in an economic downturn. The problem is, once done, it will be a …

It just keeps going on in a rampage of self-fulfilling prophecies – cries that health insurance is too expensive. Well, of COURSE it is when States decided to fix their coffers on the back of the sick. NY has been spending lots lately – and why not? Much of their state income has been from …

The Immigration Department this week rejected Dr Moeller’s application for permanent residency, saying the potential cost to the taxpayer of 13-year-old …

I keep saying the same thing over and over again, and Liberals just seem to look at me as if I had two heads sticking up above my shoulders (with nary a brain between them). Problem is, they keep ignoring empirical evidence that, and much more often than they are willing to admit, it IS …
