The fear that the healthcare revisions will still be too much like Obamacare?

NY Times:

Health Bill Revision Raises Fear of ‘Junk Insurance’


  • The Republicans’ proposal to overturn the Affordable Care Act could allow insurers to sell bare-bones plans that fail to pay for what is now deemed essential medical care.
  • Companies would also be able to take into account people’s health status to decide whether to insure them and at what price.
Under Obamacare, people who actually have to pay for it get a terrible deal.  A truck driver with a family of four pays upward to $2,000 a month and because of the high deductible of around $5,000 it does not cover his meds that cost $500 a month.  The only thing he is really covered for is a catastrophic illness, while he is subsidizing sick people for the Democrats.  A widow with two toddlers has seen her plans canceled numerous times and now pays over a $1,000 a month with a huge deductible too.

I would say that both of these people have been inflicted with junk insurance by the Democrats.  Both would be far better off buying insurance without the Obamacare mandates that covered their most likely needs and then using a health savings account to cover most of their immediate needs.  Do Democrats not have the slightest bit of guilt for how they have ruined these people's lives with their junk Obamacare policies?

Those responsible for naming this monstrosity the Affordable Care Act should be sued for fraud.  The media that supports it should be ashamed.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
