Why a New Public Plan Will Not Improve American Health Care

Why a New Public Plan Will Not Improve American Health Care
May 5, 2009 by Walton J. Francis

A sticking point in crafting major national health care reform legislation, according to media accounts, is whether or not Congress should create a new “pub­lic” plan as an alternative to private insurance plans. The role of a public plan has become something of a litmus test in the debate over reform. The Washington Post correctly says the “fixation on a public plan is bizarre and counterproductive.”

Health Care, a Lesson in Pain
May 12, 2009 by DAVID LEONHARDT

Because Mr. Obama has made it clear that health care is his top legislative priority, the $90 billion hole has become one of the biggest political issues of 2009. The Obama administration’s health care team is now preoccupied by it. On Tuesday, the Senate began to consider it, at a packed round-table discussion among 13 prominent health experts and members of the finance committee.

“Now it’s time to think about money,” said Max Baucus, the Montana Democrat who heads the committee.

The experts at the round table — liberal and conservative — actually agreed to an impressive degree about the best way to fill the hole. They urged the senators to limit the tax deduction for employer-provided health insurance.

Video: EPA memo says greenhouse effect not proven?
May 12, 2009 by Ed Morrissey

It appears that initial reports about the EPA memo this morning missed a key passage. The internal memo, marked “Attorney Client Privilege”, did warn about the negative impact EPA regulation of CO2 would have on the economy. But The Hill reports that it also challenged the notion that the EPA or anyone else had proven CO2 or other greenhouse gases to be harmful to humans:

Stimulus Aid Trickles Out, but States Seek Quicker Relief
May 12, 2009 by MICHAEL COOPER

Nearly three months after President Obama approved a $787 billion economic stimulus package, intended to create or save jobs, the federal government has paid out less than 6 percent of the money, largely in the form of social service payments to states.

Coincidence qualifies as scientific proof, for atheism

RNA world easier to make
May 14, 2009

“So coincidental that one would have to believe it” qualifies as scientific proof, as long as no God is in the mix.

An elegant experiment has quashed a major objection to the theory that life on Earth originated with molecules of RNA.

John Sutherland and his colleagues from the University of Manchester, UK, created a ribonucleotide, a building block of RNA, from simple chemicals under conditions that might have existed on the early Earth.

Sutherland, though, hopes that ingenious organic chemistry might provide an RNA synthesis so convincing that it effectively serves as proof. “We might come up with something so coincidental that one would have to believe it,” he says. “That is the goal of my career.”

Couple’s ‘buy black’ experiment becomes a movement

There’s no problem with this couple or the movement, but can you imagine the reaction if a while couple started a “buy white” campaign?

ATLANTA (AP) Maggie and John Anderson of Chicago vowed four months ago that for one year, they would try to patronize only black-owned businesses. The “Empowerment Experiment” is the reason John had to suffer for hours with a stomach ache and Maggie no longer gets that brand-name lather when she washes her hair. A grocery trip is a 14-mile odyssey.

Jacqui Smith was yesterday publicly mocked by police for presiding over a ‘Hokey Cokey’ justice system that ‘ let all the prisoners out’.

With the Home Secretary sitting uncomfortably next to him on stage, Police Federation chairman Paul McKeever said officers are ‘sick to death’ of seeing the same criminals again and again.

At the Federation’s annual conference in Bournemouth, he added: ‘The Government has created the Hokey Cokey criminal justice system.

Slurred by the adoption Nazis: Critics of gay parenting are branded ‘retarded homophobes’
May 14, 2009 by Steve Doughty
(hat tip to Political Correctness Watch)

Ah, the tolerance and open mindedness of the tolerant and open minded.

(UK)People who have concerns about the adoption of children by gay couples are ‘retarded homophobes’, the state-funded national adoption agency said yesterday.

Those who protest over controversial gay adoption laws are merely ‘whinging’, according to the British Association for Adoption and Fostering.

Its insulting description angered senior MPs and former Cabinet Ministers, Roman Catholic and Church of England leaders.

It also offended disability campaigners, who have been trying to discourage the use of the word ‘retarded’ for years. Whitehall has banned the word for civil servants.

JUDITH MILLER: Some Photos Are Not Worth a Thousand Words
May 13, 2009 by Judith Miller

President Obama changed his mind today. Thank goodness. After weighing his commitment to less secrecy and greater openness in government against the safety of American troops overseas, he sided with the soldiers. That meant ordering the Pentagon not to release as planned hundreds of photos which supposedly document American abuse of prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan between 2001 and 2005. It was a tough call, his aides said. But it was also, of course, a quintessentially political one. Obama does not want to be blamed for exposing our war-fighters to even greater jeopardy than they already face.

We already have more than enough pictures to evoke national shame.
