Ok that article scared me! And what was that about the Stock Act being repealed? Is that for real?

There were some articles about “group appointments” as well. A bunch of people with the same condition all meet with the doctor at the same time. I guess it’s part consultation, part group therapy. I can see where a doctor would see the benefit of not having to answer the same question ten times, answering it once in front of a group.

At the very least, it's partial repeal. Karl flies off the handle on the politics stuff but I go there for the economics.

Frightening! At least when Obama appropriates my retirement funds, I won’t have to decide what to do with them.

Yes but it appears the only part he didn’t repeal was the part that covers the privacy of congress.... so they can invest or devest at their private insider whims...

The mind of the Narcissist-in-Chief is marked by serpentine sinuosity; the mind of Baroness Margaret Thatcher was endowed with sinewy directness.

That explains why Obama’s socialist pals in the UK are dancing on her grave.

One could always execute waivers. HIPPA just says that no one can give out medical information without proper permission.

The sinuous reporting prove this reporter is biased and lying. First off, the woman in the abortion clinic did not "overdose", she was medicated by so called professionals until she died. Second, it was not "late term fetuses"...once the fetus is born it is now a baby. It was babies who had their spinal cords snipped and were left to die. Lying biased reporting...I could not even read more than a couple of paragraphs before the lies overwhelmed me.

The treatment by the Obama Regime of the funeral of this great lady is absolutely appalling.

So basically if you want treatment you have to agree to waive privacy.

Something like that. This was couched in the article as being about routine follow ups for things like diabetes.

All strictly voluntary, of course.

I don’t think if you have a thingy growing on your whatsit that there is a group for that.

It is 72, cloudy and humid here with a cool front on the way tonight-

The substance of Obamascare
Is as sinuous as any snake-
The money wasted far ahead
Of anything it could make

Its budget never balances
Or actually makes any gains-
The only time it ever works
Is on Tuesdays, when it rains

Failing that, the costs go up-
To the taxpayer, of course-
Better to just shut it down
Right now, and at the source...
