Bending Obamacare’s honesty curve downward - Dr. Milton R. Wolf, Washington Times

 This is from Barack Obama's cousin...

The Obamacare house of cards is crumbling before our eyes. The Obama administration’s signature piece of legislation brings a sixth of the U.S. economy under federal control, and the writing is on the wall: Obamacare will collapse under the weight of its own false promises. The only mystery left is whether we will allow America to go down with it.

...

The nonprofit and nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation recently released the results of a survey that shakes the president’s health care law right down to its core. Health insurance premiums rose in 2011 to more than $15,000 per family for the first time in American history. Not surprisingly, Obamacare itself is to blame for much of the increase. The forced requirement to include adult “children” on their parents’ insurance up to the age of 26, as just one example, contributed to 20 percent of the increase.

Before Obamacare, the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) projected annual health care spending would increase an average of 6.1 percent per year over the next decade. Despite the promises, after Obamacare passed, CMS recalculated its projections upward to 6.3 percent. Huh? Now the Kaiser survey shows that the actual results for the first year amounted to a 9 percent increase. Mr. Obama bent the cost curve all right - upward.

And a sample comment...

Greg

Democrats have long used the claim that 46 million people without health insurance is unacceptable but that is extremely misleading. The key is that they don't claim 46 million CITIZENS are without healthcare and they don't talk about percentages. If you look at the best case scenario:

308,000,000 U.S. population
46,000,000 people without healthcare

This means 85% of people already had healthcare and 15% did not. Democrats took away what was working for 85% of the population to give to the 15%.

Now, if you do a little math:

46,000,000 people without healthcare
- 31,000,000 non-citizens in the U.S.

=15,000,000 citizens without healthcare

This means 95% of CITIZENS had healthcare and 5% did not. Democrats took away healthcare from 95% of CITIZENS to give to the 5% and NON-CITIZENS, including illegal immigrants at a cost of $1 trillion to the taxpayers.

Does anyone see the HONESTY in the numbers provided by Democrats?

Fr. Mitch Pacwa Homily on Government War On Religion

Fr. Mitch Pacwa delivers a very good homily on government intrusion into religion, concience, Solomon and his 700 wives.. And how it all ties in together... Not to be missed if you believe that the government must not attempt to control your religious beliefs - whatever they may be... We cannot compromise on what we know is right.

Holy war over health care law? Obama angers Catholic leaders

This is not just a Catholic issue. It's a freedom of religion issue and it is a VERY DANGEROUS precedent! It goes completely against what America is all about!

If this stands, the consequences to every other faith will be devastating. You will have the government dictating how you practice your faith, and THAT is why people came to America in the first place - to get away from government run religion. 

 Of course, they have that in China and many Islamic countries...
 

While President Obama will deliver another speech on the economy Wednesday in Northern Virginia to keep the focus on jobs, Catholic leaders across the country are warning another issue may blow up in his face come November.

Catholics are fired up over new rules implementing Obama's health care reform law forcing Catholic universities, hospitals, and charities to provide insurance for their employees covering contraception -- even though that violates church teachings.

"When you push people of faith and you tell them the government is going to knock down the wall of separation of church and state and overreach like the Obama administration, you've got a war on your hands," Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, told Fox News.

In an extraordinary move this past weekend, New York Cardinal-designate Timothy Dolan and other archbishops throughout the nation had their priests read letters denouncing the Obama administration policy from the pulpit at Sunday Mass.

Who wouldn't enjoy firing these people? - Ann Coulter

Can you imagine not being able to fire someone who stole from you? Or attacked you physically? Or raped your daughter? Or your son?

Or what if you couldn't fire your pool guy or your gardener or your babysitter because they did a lousy job? Or just because you couldn't afford them any longer?

How about not being able to fire an insurance company that provides you with awful service?

Earlier this week, Mitt Romney got into trouble for saying, "I like being able to fire people who provide services to me." To comprehend why the political class reacted as if Romney had just praised Hitler, you must understand that his critics live in a world in which no one can ever be fired -- a world known as "the government."

(And a tip for you Washington types: Just because a person became rich without working for government doesn't mean he is "Wall Street." A venture capital firm in Boston that tries to rescue businesses headed for bankruptcy, for example, is not "Wall Street.")

Romney's statement about being able to fire people was an arrow directed straight to the heart of Obamacare. (By the way, arrows to the heart are not covered by Obamacare.)

Talking about insurance providers, he said:

"I want individuals to have their own insurance. That means the insurance company will have an incentive to keep you healthy. It also means if you don't like what they do, you can fire them. I like being able to fire people who provide services to me. You know, if someone doesn't give me a good service that I need, I want to say I'm going to go get someone else to provide that service to me."
