More Health Insurance Mandates from the House of Democrats

Oh yeah, this is going to help the cost of medical insurance. Mandate that caffeine-induced sleep disorder, caffeine intoxication, sibling relational problem, academic problem, substance-induced sexual dysfunction disorder be covered by insurance companies.
Just another way down the road to socialized medicine. Let’s see how the Senate handles this one. Can’t […]

Now a more virulent strain of MRSA/USA300 (Staph Infection)

15 January 2008
Filed under: Statistics, Technology/Medical, Health Care

I thought MRSA/USA300 (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) was scarey enough but nope. There’s a new staph variant and it’s more resistant AND there appears to be a concentration of the bug in San Fransisco. In fact, it’s spreading like wildfire in the gay community but also expanding it’s reach beyond. Not terribly surprising […]

But “it’s for The CHILDREN”

You knew it wouldn’t be long before someone created a video to satirize the ridiculous premise of funding the Democrats expansion of SCHIP through an increase of the cigarette sales tax. Not only do the Dhimmicrats do this on the Federal level but the Dhimmicrats in Tennessee have increased the state cigarette […]

Guess it isn’t really “Children’s Health Care First”

The Senate just voted down Senator Tom Coburn’s amendment - The Children’s Health Care First Act.  Apparently most Senators care more about pork or earmarks!
“The Children’s Health Care First Act,” that would have delayed funding for special interest pork projects until the Secretary of Health and Human Services certified that all children have health insurance. […]

Antibiotic Resistant Staph Bug kills more people than AIDS

18 October 2007
Filed under: Technology/Medical, Health Care

Why is it that we haven’t heard much about this? I’ll tell you why - there’s no victimhood club associated with this killer bug. This bug attacks everyone equally. There also isn’t a whole lot the average person can do to protect themself aside from locking yourself away from society whereas AIDS […]

SCHIP for the Children? Really?

There is not only a problem with the recently passed SCHIP bill which President Bush vetoed but there is a problem with the EXISTING SCHIP program. What a shocker huh? Turns out there’s an awful lot of adults on the program “for the children”!
From KJL at The Corner:
Democrats’ Children’s Health Bill […]

Socialized Healthcare - Canada Style

Here’s a sample of what we in the United States would have to look forward to if Hillarycare or whatever any other psuedo named government health/medical care came to fruition.  Doesn’t sound much different than what I’ve read about in England.  The latest healthcare news from England is a kind of DIY dental care.  People […]

SCHIP Factoids

From Joe Barton, Ranking Member (House Energy & Commerce Committee Republicans)
The ‘C’ in SCHIP Is for Children, Except When It’s Not
According to the states’ budget projections, 13 will spend more than 44 percent of their SCHIP funds in 2008 on people who are neither children nor pregnant women.

Susan G Komen Race for the Cure funds Planned Parenthood

8 October 2007
Filed under: Red Cross & Non-Profits, Religion, Abortion, Health Care

Since this is Breast Cancer Awareness Month I think the awareness should also focus on the Susan G Komen race. People need to be informed that when they participate in the Race for the Cure they are also supporting abortions provided by Planned Parenthood.
From Bobbie Patray at Tn Eagle Forum:Susan G. Komen for the […]

Smokers - light up

You’re going to be funding the expansion of the SCHIP program. It’s for “the children”! The Senate voted yesterday (the House already approved this bill) to add an additional 61 - cents to a pack of cigarettes to fund the SCHIP program.
According to the Heritage Foundation:
The compromise pays for the expansion with […]

Putting America to work… one bureaucrat at a time

Leave it to Scott Ott at Scrappleface to take on Hillary’s “new” socialized medicine program:
(2007-09-18) — Under the broad outlines of her new universal health care proposal, Sen. Hillary Clinton today reassured Americans that her plan calls for “no new bureaucracy,” just new bureaucrats.
“Read my lips: No new bureaucracy,” said Sen. Clinton…….
snip….“The beauty of her […]

This was too true to let go without capturing. From Lucianne.
I’m just on the edge of my seat waiting for Mrs. Clinton to unveil her new (with Hillary old is new) socialized medicine plan.

American Cancer Society’s cancer metatasizes

I didn’t know that the American Cancer Society was a tool for the Dhimmicrat Party.  As it happens I just donated what for me was significant dollars to the organization and it looks like this money will be used in an advertising campaign advocating socialized medicine.  They can call it whatever they want but “universal […]

Moore has new fiction movie called “Sicko”

I guess Moore is releasing another piece of fiction he’s called “Sicko” which he’s saying is a documentary.  On Fox & Friends this morning they were talking about  his new film of lies.  Supposedly he brought some first responders from 911 to Cuba for medical care.  Apparently he’s saying that Cuba has a superb medical […]

Cuban Hospital Pictures - Unbelievable

Captain’s Quarters: The Mythology of Cuban Medical Care
I’m telling you to be sure to look at these photos. Then, whenever you hear someone telling you about the modern and efficient Cuban Healthcare system you can show them these pictures. I wouldn’t bring my dog to one of these places for treatment.

Here’s a really horrendous example of what you get with nationalized health care. I have a friend and neighbor who has lived in the US for over 40 years but has never become an American citizen and refuses to acknowledge the defects inherent in a socialized country of which Canada has become. This is […]
