Each time a new study or report sheds light on the Obamacare’s true effects on Americans’ health care, the left fights back with tiresome accusations that the source is disreputable, partisan or “sides” with the insurance companies, ad nauseum.
How many professional experts are going to have to find fault with the House and Senate health bills before the Left and their allies in Congress stop repeating the age-old adage: “Everyone else is crazy, I alone am sane”? The terrible truth, of course, is that

Thanks. Good article.
We have Tenncare, in Tennessee, the for runner of Romneycare in Mass. They’ve had to dump people off it like crazy because it was TO EXPENSIVE. Socialized med doesn’t work. Some tort reform would help tremendously so the sue happy and trial lawyers can’t reap hugemongus profits.

No it doesn’t work.. It is all about control.. Lawyers are his buddy so as long as he is around tort reform is not gonna happen.
Some thoughts. Without non-govt. private healthcare insurance companies, the bulk of American healthcare for the working class not on welfare...DISAPPEARS. Is this really necessary? The Fed thinks so. The Fed, which runs the Treasury currently, desires additional reserve capital for its bankrupt banking system...and is looking, with the asssistance of both political parties, to get it. The 1300+ private healthcare insurance companies have hundreds of billions (tied up as reserve capital requirements against claims) not available for Fed Reserve banking use for the purpose of shoring up totally inadequate banking reserves. By attacking the private healthcare ins.companies, the move intended to put them out of business and eliminate the use of their private capital for maintenance of the private healthcare system, is the main purpose of the healthcare initiative...the style of the healthcare system desired by the Obama administration, or modified by the Republicans is of secondary importance to the Fed. The Fed does not care one “whit” what kind of healthcare system we have...they just want capital wherever it can raid it from. The derivatives rollover obligations are consuming all along with exponential increases in govt. spending, and so, demand of the Fed that it get capital wherever it can to reduce somewhat the amount of debt it must print (the Fed prints debt, not money). Insurance companies, especially healthcare insurance companies are the easiest target. Expect that in time the life ins. companies will follow if the pirate raid against the health insurance companies is successful. The govt. now wants you IRA and 401K capital for TBill or Agency Bond (Fannie and Freddie) support, and new tranches of bundled Fannie and Freddie toxic mortgages are being prepared for consumption by pension plans and your IRA and 401K funds and any other retail source they can find. How this plays out remains to be seen. Expect the Dems to continue with a healthcare bill. “Insurance” reform will remain the highest priority and it remains to be seen if the Republicans will allow the Fed to raid the healthcare insurance companies by forcing a freeing up of their capital from claims reserves by reducing their business by taxing them heavily and making it impossible for them to stay in business.
No private doctor can stay in practice without private healthcare insurance companies. Each private doctor provides direct or indirect employment of 10 others. On NPR a couple of days ago, a facilitative moderator encouraged the opinion of the interviewee that all doctors should be salaried in a govt. controlled system...period...thus supporting the absence of a private healthcare insurance industry. The Fed itself, with the Obama administration are determined to eliminate the private healthcare system for their own purposes, and, the main driver is the Fed.
Exactly, you zeroed in on the problem. It would be cool to see tort reform to limit the big laywer cash contributions to the democratic party. I like this idea and coupled with real term limits could be a powerful change. Maybe the November elections can focus on those two concepts ,,, kinda like a contract with America II but this time actually implement it.
You have also zeroed in on things... I guess the deme are happy to continue to commit suicide in hopes of spending their lives in a command system utopia. They must be voted out in november
Texas is the example of how to do “healthcare reform”.
Tort reform, HSAs, and insurance deregulation.
That’s a simple, good start.
GOP needs to go back to Reagan and keep repeating the mantra CUT TAXES, smaller gov't, and they need to grow SPINES!
If a GOP candidate won't take a pledge to cut taxes, fix the border problem, and DEPORT the illegals, I don't care if they have an anchor baby, leave the baby with legal relatives and KICK the illegal parents out to come back in the proper way, and CUT SPENDING then they don't get our votes.
I can scream all I want, my socialist rep will always be an obamabut, his opponent is a crazy obamabut, little difference between the two except age and skin color. GOP candidate doesn't stand a chance in my district. I abhor abortion, but shut up about it already, it isn't going away until you can flip the USSC by 2 more conservatives and that isn't going to happen until you can flip both houses and the WH and have 2 liberal justices die or retire. Harp on taxes and cuts to Medicare and Tricare to fund FREE health care for illegals.
Take Brown's model and go forth and spread the word, play JFK's cut taxes speeches over and over again at town hall meetings!
