Democrats' Double Standard

By now you have heard that the Democrats are threatening to use the "nuclear option" to cram socialized medicine down our throats. My how times have changed. Click here to see a video show Democrats calling such actions an "arrogant power grab". You should recognize several of the faces. The first two even had recent promotions.

I wonder if this has anything to do with Congress' historic low approval rating of 10%.

Canadian Health Care Problems

It is not good to be in Vancouver these days if you need surgery. Apparently socialized medicine isn't all its cracked up to be.

Last week I was in Europe and the British took great offense at the way American conservatives are portraying their 50-year old National Health System. Even members of the Conservative Party were saying how great it is. Today I learned that approximately 45,000 workers call in sick every day in Britian. That story never made it to Sky News last week.

The problem with this issue is that once it become political, the truth becomes irrelevant in many people's eyes. Right now, if you are a Democrat you are probably supporting the President regardless of the facts because you don't want to give a victory to the evil Republicans. If that is true, then shame on you. And the same goes for Republicans in reverse. Truth matters regardless of party.

The Obama Health Plan

The health plan currently in Congress is very confusing. Here is an official (this is not made up) graphical outline of a flowchart showing how it will all play out. The chart is from Representative John Campbell's official website and shows how convoluted this 1000 page plan is. Hat tip to Hugh Hewitt.
