Study Devastating for ObamaCare Backers
Within the White House, within the Democratic chambers in Congress and among the (overwhelmingly liberal) health policy community there was considerable anguish this week. The reason: a new study finds that (as far as physical health is concerned) there is no difference between being in Medicaid and being uninsured. It’s hard to exaggerate what a… Read more »
China, US to form group on climate change

Sebelius Tries To Blame GOP For Coming ObamaCare Failures
As Democrats grow increasingly worried that ObamaCare will explode on the launch pad just as midterm elections get going, the Obama administration seeks to pin blame on Republicans.

No Tears for Lynne Stewart
The jihadists’ favorite American lawyer, Lynne Stewart, reportedly has stage-4 breast cancer.

These… Read more »

Raid on Cypriot deposits shakes Europeans’ faith in savings
Europeans’ faith in the safety of their savings has been shaken by a levy on Cypriot bank deposits to pay for a bailout, even though there was no sign of a rush to withdraw cash in Madrid or Dublin. People told Reuters they were angered but unsurprised that politicians should dip into citizens’ deposits. And… Read more »
Three Years On, Obamacare Has Become Irresistable
It has been federal for three years. It has brought chaos to the labor markets. It has cost people their livelihoods and it is more unpopular than ever. So why does “Obamacare” (officially known as the “Affordable Care Act”) remain so irresistible for so many of our fellow Americans? Because at its core Obamacare is… Read more »
ObamaCare Backlash
It’s worth remembering that Obama decided not to let his new ObamaCare scheme take effect until 2014. At the time of its passage in 2010, it seemed politically wise to delay its implementation. Republicans won the election of 2010 and lost that of 2012. But the full impact of the new law will begin to… Read more »
