So, you’ve (supposedly) paid your Obamacare premium. You are now ready to see a doctor. Too bad they don’t want to see you, and there aren’t enough (AP) When Olivia Papa signed up for a new health plan last year, her insurance company assigned her to a primary care doctor.

Many Liberals love Obamacare, as long as they aren’t the ones paying for it. Obama and Congressional Democrats (at least the ones in safe Districts who haven’t lost their seats) love it, because they, for the most part, aren’t using it themselves.

Sheesh, I didn’t even get a chance to opine about the 5th video, and along comes a 6th. In the fifth, Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber mocks critics as “adolescent children”.

The heck you say (Raleigh N&O) The new federal health care law means legions of uninsured and newly insured people face a daunting task in filing their tax returns for this year.

If Jonathan Gruber, a main architect of Obamacare, simply spoke inappropriately and regrets those comments, how does he feel about the second, and now third, videos? (Daily Caller) A third video has surfaced of Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber bragging about pulling the wool over the eyes of the American public in order to help implement […]

What are “death panels”? It boils down to government bureaucrats making choices on health care, particularly for the elderly and infirm. These are the kinds of things we see in England, where these panels decide that a walking cane is a better use of funds than medication and/or joint replacement surgery. Rather than leaving the […]
