ObamaCare on Life Support

March 18, 2010

I am getting increasingly confident that ObamaCare as it is currently construed will not pass.

The $1 Trillion Health Care Debacle

July 15, 2009

The Democrats in the House of Representatives released their version of health care reform yesterday, and the CBO clocked it in at a cool $1 trillion over 10 years.
