Obamacare

Now that Obamacare comes to light

Sheila Liaugminas | 12 April 2011

Remember when Sen. Nancy Pelosi said they had to sign the healthcare bill to know what was in it? Well it has come to light, and some people are troubled by what it reveals.

Obamacare illegal?

Sheila Liaugminas | 06 February 2011

Last week, a vote to repeal Obamacare gathered more votes than last time around and only narrowly missed passage. But then it was declared unconstitutional anyway…

End of life regulation?

Which is it…..are they required under Medicare or not?

Late to the party

Sheila Liaugminas | 03 November 2010

In spite of being belittled, criticized, ridiculed or just ignored by big media, Americans actively engaged in the Tea Party activities of the past two years never gave up or gave in. They never budged from their determination to hold government accountable and restore the values of the nation’s founders. Look who’s paying attention now…

Obamacare scare

Several years ago, there was a popular book and tv series out called 'Goosebumps." I recalled that this morning while listening to an expert business analyst reporting on the impact of the healthcare legislation now, and what's looming on the horizon.

No faith in the language

This could be a many-part series under that heading….

Obama’s revolution

Healthcare, immigration, financial industry...America is being re-formed alright. There are a lot of political irons in the fire right now and they're all pressing. Which ones are more important?

Obama’s redistribution of health

Sheila Liaugminas | 10 July 2010

Let’s be honest. President Obama’s recess appointment of Donald Berwick as the Medicare and Medicaid director was a ploy to get a controversial character past any scrutiny by Congress and the citizens of the United States. He didn’t want a confirmation hearing because he didn’t want Berwick’s views to be heard. Surprise, surprise.

Fix the healthcare law

Besides all the other problems that have either been known or come to light about Obamacare that call for reforming this version of reform, two fundamental moral ones loom large. Heard anything about it lately?

Obama paying to sell health care

Sheila Liaugminas | 09 June 2010

The president got his version of health care reform passed into law, so he doesn’t need to sell it or even close the deal. He did that. But suddenly, he’s launched a huge campaign to market the ideas behind Obamacare. Why is he doing this?

Signs of the times

Sheila Liaugminas | 17 April 2010

America is still a representative republic, and a lot of people in the republic aren’t happy with their representatives and the work they’re doing or not doing in Washington. So they’re speaking out...

All news is local

At least Scott Brown’s historic victory in Massachusetts sure is. That election result going to change national politics from here forward.

It got him elected

Sheila Liaugminas | 21 December 2009

Regrettable if it turns out to be “a parody of leadership”.

How much less safe?

Sheila Liaugminas | 02 November 2009

Questions missing from the “already too-complicated health care debate”: "The case of the Missing Assistant Surgeon."

Dollars to doughnuts

Number crunching is so terribly dry and for most people, boring. WaPo puts Washington’s calculations of health care costs and savings into interesting perspective.
