Reid Senate Bill: Uninsured Americans Will Pay Penalty… Uninsured Aliens Won’t

Papa Mike's Blog (Free subscription) | 11 hours ago

More hope and change… Obamacare will penalize uninsured Americans but uninsured aliens will get a pass. What a shock. Keith Hennessey reported, via Instapundit: Under Leader Reid’s amendment, in the year 2019 about 16 million U.S. citizens would be uninsured and be forced to pay a penalty tax of almost $800 per year. About eight million illegal [...]

On finances in the states

It's My Mind (Free subscription) | yesterday

Almost a week ago I ran across this Wall Street Journal column at Instapundit regarding the dire straits of state finances in both Michigan and California. Both of those states have well reported problems. In Michigan we see some evidence of how well that state is doing by looking in part at Detroit as we did on Friday. I wasn't going to excerpt, but let's look at California: As of July 2009, California's...

SNL rips Obama a new one

Ace of Spades (Free subscription) | yesterday

Instapundit has this embedded, but it's not NBC's copy so they will probably get it pulled. The bloom is certainly off Obama's onion and this opening sequence for SNL is absolutely wicked. It takes a minute to get rolling, you...

A Climate of Lies and Intimidation

Daily Pundit (Free subscription) | yesterday

Instapundit CLIMATEGATE STORY makes the Washington Post in a big way. And don’t miss Charlie Martin’s piece on what it all means. Yes, the story of the hacked document dump from the Climate Research Unit at East Anglia University (UK) does make the WaPo, but in a very dishonest and disingenuous piece of “reporting.” The whole thing is [...]

On the changing relationship between doctor and patient and that element of distrust

Chicago Boyz (Free subscription) | yesterday

Jonathan highlights an Instapundit discussion that caught my eye, too. The discussion is about mammograms and the latest proposed guidelines for screening: do the guidelines represent good science, or are they simply meant to save money (these are not mutually exclusive goals)? I don’t know the science, and don’t have any reason to distrust the [...]

[Dubious claim: Global warming detected 4,000 meters beneath the ocean's surface] At such depths and being so remote, Snelgrove assumed they would find little evidence of human impacts on habitat and ecology. But even at 4,000 meters he said they detected the effects of climate change through warming temperatures and a depletion of food sources. [Can we see some data to back up this claim'] Green Inc....

The Public-Health Fallacy

Chicago Boyz (Free subscription) | yesterday

The discussion at this otherwise-good Instapundit post is typical. The discussion is misframed. The question isn’t whether a specific medical procedure is a good idea. The question is who gets to make the decisions. This is a comment that I left on a recent Neo-Neocon post: It’s the public-health fallacy, the confusion (perhaps willful, on the part of [...]
