AARP Boycott

Instapundit reports on an informal AARP boycott where people are apparently spontaneously chucking their AARP memberships due to the AARP's position on Obamacare.

Cash for Clunkers

Well said:

"If they can't administer a program like this, I'd be a little concerned about my health insurance," car salesman Rob Bojaryn said.

I haven't said much about the program, but it reminds me of the gun turn-in programs. People just bring in the junk they want to get rid of - junk that is worth far less than what the government pays out.

Do you want the people who run education to run healthcare?

This is old news, but bears repeating in light of the full-court press on a government-run healthcare system. U.S. falls in education rank compared to other countries--
The United States ranked No. 18 out of 24 for educational system effectiveness, according to a 2003 UNICEF study.

Doctors Weigh In on Single Payor System

Hugh Hewitt has posted some interesting commentary from doctors who oppose King Barry's healthcare proposal.

Finally, a word about the "uninsured". These folks, estimated to number ~46 million, are one of the big drivers pushing the nation to a one-payer system. Study after study has shown that most of these patients are 1) eligible for gov't programs already,2) transiently uninsured because of job change, 3) making good money but have elected not to buy insurance, 4) illegal aliens. The hardcore long-term uninsured only number 10 to 15 million. In a nation of 300 million, this really should not be a big problem. Providing some level of care for the 3-5% that are truly uninsurable should not be a justification for screwing things up for everybody else.

As they say in the big leagues, "read the whole thing."

Government Healthcare at Walter Reed

Ronald Bailey makes a point that everyone ought to think about. The government is in charge of healthcare at Walter Reed, but the people in this country apparently fail to make the connection between what is happening there and what could happen under universal government healthcare. Universal healthcare is not the answer. The soldiers cannot get the care they need and it is a problem that is solely of the government's creation. If the government can't take care of its soldiers, how in the world do the sheeple in this country think the government will be able to take care of them?

The folks in Tennessee have already had a taste of it with Tenncare. It was a disastrous plan that was hatched by Hillary Clinton and nearly bankrupted this state.
