Obamacare's Passage: A Full-Scale Retreat

Obamacare's Passage: A Full-Scale Retreat - by Stephen Lendman After eight years under George Bush, people demanded change. Obama and congressional Democrats promised it, then disappointed by accomplishing the impossible - governing worse than skeptics feared, worse than Republicans across the board on both domestic and foreign policies. They looted the nation's wealth, wrecked the economy, consigned millions to impoverishment without jobs, homes, savings, social services, or futures while expanding global militarism through imperial wars, occupations, and stepped up aggression on new fronts with the largest ever "war" budget in history - way over $1 trillion dollars ...

Health Care Mandate to Be Enforced by IRS ‘Bounty Hunters’ Jim Kouri Canada Free Press March 22, 2010 The very nature of the program provides incentives for collectors to push the limits of legality to extract a little more revenue from their targets. “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own ...
Negative impact of ObamaCare already kicking in

48 hours had not even passed after Congress approved ObamaCare before the negative impact of its provisions began kicking in. Remember, the so-called 'benefits' of the program will not begin until 2014. But the fees, taxes, and other surcharges that are essential to the plan go into effect immediately. This has led to some disturbing consequences just within the last 24 hours. Karl Denninger via WRSA reported this: From the forum: "So I just got a call from my health insurance provider. My family rates are going up $200/month ... $2400/year per employee effective April 1st. Didn't take long after signing to get this s**t going. So much for the "my plan will save ...

For some this difference is slight, but others have gone so far as to say they felt they were more "emotion blind" than [r]ace blind, and that their emotion blindness affected their life more than their [r]ace blindness. To help in understanding why this occurs, we'll first look at how emotions work in most people, and then we'll consider how it may be different in [r]ace blind people.

The Firedoglake health care team has been covering the debate in congress since it began last year. The health care bill will come up for a vote in the House on Sunday, and as Nancy Pelosi works to wrangle votes, we’ve been running a detailed whip count on where every member of Congress stands, updated throughout the day. We’ve also taken a detailed look at the bill, and have come up with 18 often stated myths about this health care reform bill. Real health care reform is the thing we’ve fought for from the start. It is desperately needed. But this bill falls short on many levels, and hurts many people more than it helps. A middle class family of four making $66,370 will ...

WASHINGTON – A transformative health care bill is headed to President Barack Obama for his signature as Congress takes the final steps in Democrats' improbable and history-making push for near-universal medical coverage. On the cusp of succeeding where numerous past congresses and administrations have failed, jubilant House Democrats voted 219-212 late Sunday to send legislation to Obama that would extend coverage to 32 million uninsured Americans, reduce deficits and ban insurance company practices such as denying coverage to people with pre-existing medical conditions. "This is what change looks like," Obama said later in televised remarks that stirred memories of his ...

Instead of hearing the rustle of candy wrappers, moviegoers may be interrupted by the sound of people munching on apples and carrots. Sony Pictures Entertainment Chief Executive Michael Lynton wants theater owners to put down the popcorn and candy and start offering healthier treats, the L.A. Times reports. While there's nothing quite like a bag of popcorn smothered in butter, patrons watching their waistlines would finally have nutritious snacking options. While some movie theater managers are open to the option, patrons seem more upset about the change to an age-old tradition. During the annual ShoWest movie industry convention, Lynton presented a poll of moviegoers commissioned by ...

The Death of American Populism - by Stephen Lendman Ideologically it believes governments must provide for the greatest good for the greatest number of people. It opposes concentrated wealth, demagogy, and despotism, and supports democracy, human and civil rights, and social justice - an ideology the 19th century People's Party and 20th century Progressive Party endorsed without majorities. Until recently, faint echoes remained, sadly silenced after Senator Bernie Sanders and sole House populist capitulated. Former Kucinich for president consultant, David Swanson, said "he gave in to the power of a false narrative, and that he ought to have said so....I think the corporate media ...
Young people need real healthcare reform now

If the insurance companies win, youth and students will lose. Republicans in Congress and right wing talking heads will stop at nothing from preventing real healthcare reform from happening. They are spending millions of dollars a day on lobbying and advertising to make sure that working people are unable to get the care they need. They are working to spread lies that Obama's plan would create death panels and pull the plug on grandma. The fact is that death panels exist- they are headed by the insurance industry and their representatives in Congress. Every year nearly 45,000 people die because they lack basic health insurance. Over half of people aged 18-24 went without health ...

Research abounds that adequate vitamin D is essential for good health (http://www.naturalnews.com/Vitamin_...). Unfortunately, however, millions of Americans are not getting enough of this so-called "sunshine" vitamin. Now it turns out that one group in particular is almost universally lacking in vitamin D. According to a study slated for publication in an upcoming issue of the Clinical Journal of the American Society Nephrology (CJASN), kidney disease patients who have low blood protein levels and who start dialysis during the winter are at extremely high risk of being seriously deficient in vitamin D.

Wal-Mart 'Sympathetic' to Man Fired for Using Medical Pot, but Won't Rehire Him

A Walmart employee with sinus cancer and an inoperable brain tumor who was fired for using medical marijuana will not be rehired, even though the company says it is "sympathetic" to his condition. Joseph Casias, 29, was fired in November from a Walmart store in Battle Creek, Mich., after marijuana was detected in a routine drug screening that he underwent after he sprained his knee at work. Casias, who was the store's 2008 associate of the year, said he legally used marijuana to reduce pain associated with his disease and was never under the influence while at work. "I gave them everything," Casias told Wzzm13.com. "110 percent every day. Anything they ...
Dems tap drug maker millions for PhRMA-friendly bill

As they whip for the health care bill, Democratic leaders pack a mean one-two punch of populist rhetoric and the hefty financial backing of the drug industry. In the heated yearlong health fight, President Obama has often accused his opponents of willful misrepresentation, even as he and his allies have endlessly repeated the biggest whopper of all — that the bill would rein in the special interests. The Obama team regularly dismisses opponents as industry lackeys. The Democratic National Committee blasted out e-mails this week warning that "for every member of Congress, there are eight anti-reform lobbyists swarming Capitol Hill" and "Congress is under attack from ...

A company boss has compared British soldiers to paedophiles and drug dealers after refusing a request by a recruitment service to provide jobs for former troops. Karl Winn, 60, said he would rather 'recruit ex-drug dealers, convicts and child molesters' than employ former servicemen or women. His comments came after he was contacted by Forces Recruitment Services and asked if he would consider taking on ex-soldiers at his net design company Webeurope. Mr Winn, of Taunton, Somerset, wrote back: 'Personally, I'd rather recruit ex-drug dealers, convicts and even child molesters rather than consider anybody who has been in the pay of the British Government.' webeurope ...

Medical Care Before the Welfare State, 1900-1930 On the face of it, a historical study of fraternal societies seems to be a subject fit only for connoisseurs of the arcane. Few Americans these days come into contact with such groups. When many of us hear the word lodge, we think of it as a place where television characters from our youth, such as Ralph Kramden (of the Loyal Order of Raccoons) and Fred Flintstone (of the Loyal Order of Water Buffalos), escaped from their more sensible wives to engage in childish hijinks—parading around with silly hats and mouthing pretentious rituals. There was a time, however, when fraternal societies could not be so easily dismissed. Before the rise ...

In a recent article for Tikkun, Dr. Arnold Relman argued that the versions of health care reform currently proposed by “progressives” all primarily involve financing health care and expanding coverage to the uninsured rather than addressing the way current models of service delivery make it so expensive. Editing out all the pro forma tut-tutting of “private markets,” the substance that’s left is considerable: What are those inflationary forces? . . . [M]ost important among them are the incentives in the payment and organization of medical care that cause physicians, hospitals and other medical care facilities to focus at least as much on income and profit as on ...

Court says thimerosal did not cause autism

WASHINGTON — The vaccine additive thimerosal is not to blame for autism, a special federal court ruled Friday in a long-running battle by parents convinced there is a connection. While expressing sympathy for the parents involved in the emotionally charged cases, the court concluded they had failed to show a connection between the mercury-containing preservative and autism. "Such families must cope every day with tremendous challenges in caring for their autistic children, and all are deserving of sympathy and admiration," special master George Hastings Jr. wrote. But, he added, Congress designed the victim compensation program only for families whose injuries or deaths ...
