Although I like Consumer Reports--it is an unbiased source for comparison shopping, as it does not even accept advertising, which could conceivably taint its judgments--I will readily admit that it does have a leftist bias, with regard to its editorial views. And that clearly is the case as concerning ObamaCare.

I've joked -- for years -- that Consumer Reports is one of the few publications that's written by liberals but read by conservatives. One of my wife's ultra-lib friends bought a Fiat. Do you think she researched it beyond the TV ads (which are cute) before she signed on the dotted line? Of course not.

I treat the Consumer Reports editorial content like I treat Section 1 of the New York Times -- except that the New York Times is more useful for housebreaking puppies.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- One in three Americans say they have put off getting medical treatment that they or their family members need because of cost. Although this percentage is in line with the roughly 30% figures seen in recent years, it is among the highest readings in the 14-year history of Gallup asking the question.

According to the Census Bureau (who we pay to gather such facts), the median household income in the US was $53,046. (I'll go out on a limb and guess that the median household income of the Obama advisers and lobbyists who wrote the "Affordable" Care Act was at least ten times that.)

If the Republicans have any sense at all, they will be pounding the fiasco of Obamacare 24/7 between now and November 8, 2016.
