Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
According to Reuters, President Trump announced at his press briefing on Sunday that he has decided to extend the Great Hunkering through the end of April and that he will be unveiling a nationwide plan for the Wuhan Flu on Tuesday, March 31: “The peak, the highest point of death
Continue readingPeople are rightly protesting on religious grounds the fact that Obama has mandated that health care plans must cover birth control and morning after pills: Most healthcare plans will be required to cover birth control without charging co-pays or deductibles starting Aug. 1, the Obama administration announced Friday. The final
Continue readingI’m surprised that there’s so little news about an upcoming nurses’ strike in Northern and Central California. This story should be a big deal, in large part because the nurses who are going on strike in thirty-four Northern and Central California hospitals actually have no complaint. Instead, they’re putting thousands
Continue readingI spent four hours at my Mom’s yesterday trying to organize her medicines. I am more gray now than I was before. My son, who was with me, kept saying “This is insane. This is insane.” The insanity operated at a lot of levels. Some of the insanity comes about
Continue readingMy daughter is trying to compare medical treatments and outcomes during the Civil War and during the current wars. Broadly speaking, that’s quite easy, ’cause all you really need to know are antibiotics and sterile techniques. Everything else is a subset (and yes, I know I’m grossly over-simplifying). The problem
Continue readingObamaCare represents an effort to bring America in line with European and other socialized health care systems. The sales pitch is now, and has always been, that “studies” show that the other, socialized, systems are “better” than the American system. The crown jewel of these “studies” is a 2000 World
Continue readingI’m not actually sure what to make of this. Is it a smart way to prevent life-changing impulse surgeries or is it another socialist medicine throwaway for the cause of the day? Hat tip: Sadie
Continue readingMy mother is very old. This means that she no longer actively contributes to society. Her working and child-rearing days are over. She lives off of her diminishing savings, a small pension and her social security checks. In a utilitarian world, she has no value. Because — thankfully — we
Continue readingFrom the moment Gov. Walker squared off against the public sector unions in Wisconsin, conservatives noticed something interesting: The mainstream media, which was all aflutter about politician safety after a paranoid schizophrenic aimed a gun at a Democratic Senator, wounding her and killing a heroic Republican judge), showed remarkable restraint
Continue readingIn the old days, medical treatment was more likely to kill than to cure. For example, one can make a good argument that George Washington died because his physicians bled him to death. It’s scarcely strange, then, that homeopathy was such a hit when it first appeared on the scene.
Continue readingWhen we met the Blues, one of the people we met was the team’s flight surgeon, who struck me as a lovely young woman: warm, dedicated and intelligent. I’m sure Neptunus Lex wasn’t talking about her when he wrote this hysterically funny post a few years ago. (And no, I
Continue readingThis is a matched set of stories from the London Times, both about British dental care, and both warning of the travails when the government both controls much (not all, but much) of the market. The first story involves the horrible teeth British children enjoy under national dental care. You’ll
Continue readingKarl Rove nicely articulates the bottom line facts driving Obama’s fear-mongering game to force through immediate and irrevocable changes to America’s health care system: Mr. Obama’s problem is that nine out of 10 Americans would likely get worse health care if ObamaCare goes through. Of those who do not have
Continue readingFaced with an epidemic, England is already planning on rationing: Thousands of patients could be denied NHS treatment and left to die under ‘worst-case’ emergency plans for a swine-flu epidemic. The blueprint would force doctors to ‘play God’ and prioritise intensive-care treatment for those most likely to benefit – ruling
Continue readingDon Parker nails both the costs and hypocrisy behind the mandate in the new health care bill that seniors be gently steered towards a cheap death. UPDATE: Thanks to Old Flyer for reminding me of this, which fits in so perfectly with the new plan: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Sp-VFBbjpE[/youtube] UPDATE II: A story
