healthcare reform act: Obamacare Gets Holes Punched in It through the Courts - 10/23/10 09:59 AM
Over 20 state attorneys general filed a lawsuit charging that ObamaCare is flatly unconstitutional.
The great news is that they were told by a federal judge late last week the lawsuit you helped inspire can go forward.
Judge Roger Vinson said that the states "have most definitely stated a plausible claim" that the federal government has absolutely no authority under the Constitution to require people to purchase health insurance.
He also indicated that the sovereign right of states under the 10th Amendment have likely been violated by the federal government's order under ObamaCare to increase their Medicare budgets, which will, in … (17 comments)

I don't care if your Democrat or Republican or whatever or whoever. This stuff scares the crap out of me. Let's be honest....the health care system is broken. It just is. It's broken and needs to be fixed. But the government?????? The track record stinks and they can't run this business.

healthcare reform act: Why We Need Government Sponsored Healthcare! Count Me In! - 10/04/09 08:35 PM
I want to apologize for all these years of being considered "right wing conservative." I must admit, now that I've seen the truth, I can't believe that I've been sooooooo dumb for all these years. I'm so sorry Barack Obama. You bankrupted Chicago and Illinois. But the United States is sooooo much different. I'm yours. I'm all yours. Please lead me. This time I promise to be a lemming. I'm all yours.....If you would just think for me, I wouldn't need the stress of thinking for myself. My apologies. … (12 comments)

healthcare reform act: Fined $3,800 for not carrying health insurance...... - 09/09/09 01:39 PM
OK...so here's the latest breaking news last night.
Americans would be fined up to $3,800 for failing to buy health insurance under a plan that circulated in Congress on Tuesday as divisions among Democrats undercut President Barack Obama's effort to regain traction on his health care overhaul.
As Obama talked strategy with Democratic leaders at the White House, the one idea that most appeals to his party's liberal base lost ground in Congress. Prospects for a government-run plan to compete with private insurers sank as a leading moderate Democrat, Sen. Max Baucus of Montana, said he could no longer support the … (7 comments)

healthcare reform act: Senator Rogers tells us why Obamacare Can't work! - 09/09/09 12:41 PM
. This really sums up the new plan for Obamacare. It's now to the point that independents don't want this bill either. Tomorrow is the new sales pitch from Obama on this. Watch this and make sure that your educated as to what's acceptable for the American People. We need to fix healthcare, but you can't sink a ship to save the vast minority. You keep working to fix what you have. You don't punish the supermajority. Independents now see the problem as well. … (2 comments)

healthcare reform act: Finally Someone Get's Part of the Health Care Bill Right - 09/08/09 04:39 PM
On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a two-page amendment courtesy of Republican Tom Coburn that would require all Members and their staffs to enroll in any new government-run health plan. Yet all Democrats - with the exceptions of acting chairman Chris Dodd, Barbara Mikulski and Ted Kennedy via proxy - voted nay. It took me less than a minute to sign up to require our congressmen and senators to drink at the same trough! Three cheers for Congressman John Fleming of Louisiana and the 3 Democrats that are trying to think as the American People Think. Congressman … (16 comments)

OK, so this weekend I go up to my farm in Wisconsin for a kids weekend. I leave my wife home so that she can have her reunion with her college buddies while I take my 5 kids and my niece with me to the farm for the weekend. My brother, Mark, lives close by in the booming metropolis of Sheboygan, Wisconsin. We hook on Saturday. He's there with his 8 kids and then mom and dad stop by on the way to their vacation home up in Door County.
