Part Thirty-Seven

Health Care Here And Over There

Reform: If the world's most famous physicist, Stephen Hawking, is a shining example of British health care, how is it that others in the U.K. are repeatedly denied critical care and medicine?

Part Thirty-Six

Third World Care?

Reform: Buffeted by growing outrage that ObamaCare will ruin quality medical care in America, a top administration official has resorted to telling desperate lies.

Part Thirty-Five

Town Bull

Health Care: To combat this summer's "town hells," President Obama is holding his own gatherings. But his "town halls" consist of long speeches, falsifications and no questions from the skeptical.

Part Thirty-Four

Shovel-Ready Health Care

Health Care: There might not be a "death panel," as Sarah Palin described it, but federal bureaucrats will be making end-of-life decisions. That's why state-run medicine is a leading cause of death in Britain and Canada.

Part Thirty-Three

The Real AstroTurf

Free Speech: The White House and Congress claim the anti-ObamaCare uprising is artificially organized. But the violent — even racist — union counterattacks, urged on by Democrats, are the real Rent-a-Mobs.

Part Thirty-Two

Geezers With Pitchforks Vs. The AARP

Discourse: At a town hall last week in Dallas, an elderly "mob" with "manufactured" outrage questioned AARP's support for nationalized health care, asking: "Do you work for us or do we work for you?"

Part Thirty-One

Those 'Town Hells'

Representative Government: Some of the Democrats who want to hijack American health care are not exactly getting a warm welcome from voters back home. It's inspiring to watch our system in action.

Part Thirty

How House Bill Runs Over Grandma

Rationing: In the recesses of the House health care "reform" bill is a provision for end-of-life counseling for seniors. Don't worry, granny, they're from the government and they're here to help.

Part Twenty-Nine

Pelosi's Villainy

Demagoguery: The speaker of the House says insurers are "villains" for opposing Democratic plans for overhauling the health care system. Nancy Pelosi needs to rethink who the bad guys really are.

Part Twenty-Eight

Blue Dogs Roll Over

Congress: In exchange for a vague promise of cuts in the cost of health care "reform," a few fiscally conservative Democrats agree to release the bill to a September floor vote. Have the pit bulls become Chihuahuas?

Part Twenty-Seven

They're Coming For Your Tonsils

Health Costs: Lawyers are responsible for more unneeded procedures than "greedy" doctors. But instead of capping malpractice awards, bureaucrats will soon decide which treatments are OK and whether you're worth it.

Part Twenty-Six

CBO's Gift to Dems: A Closer Look

Health Care: The people who debunked the cost-saving claims of ObamaCare have come back with a seemingly reassuring review of the "public option." But the devil is in the assumptions.

Part Twenty-Five

Reparations By Way Of Health Care Reform

Legislation: Still believe in post-racial politics? Read the health care bill. It's affirmative action on steroids, deciding everything from who becomes a doctor to who gets treatment on the basis of skin color.

Part Twenty-Four

Reform's Last Gasp

Health Care: The clock is ticking down on Democrats' effort to get health care reform passed by the time Congress goes home for its August recess. This is a big opportunity to kill the bill once and for all.

Part Twenty-Three

Politicians, Heal Thyselves!

Health Reform: If Democrats in Washington think their health care reform with a public option is a good thing, why have they exempted themselves from it? Why isn't what's good for their constituents good for them?

Part Twenty-Two

Specifics, Please

Health Care: From the president we now know that cops are stupid, doctors are greedy, Republicans don't play nice, people are dying and we're all going broke if we don't embrace socialized medicine in a week or so.

Part Twenty-One

States, Look Out!

Reform: What if there are too few millionaires to pay for a big expansion of tax-paid health care coverage? Congress may then adopt its tried-and-true Plan B, dumping the burden on lower levels of government.

Part Twenty

Hold The Mayo

Reform: The administration has touted the world-class Mayo Clinic as a model for Congress' health care bills. Just one problem: Mayo itself says what's on offer will make us all "losers."

Part Nineteen

Still Not An Option

Health Reform: Last week we said the reform plan moving through the House essentially outlaws the private individual medical insurance market. Critics said we were being dishonest. But we're standing by our story.

Part Eighteen

Reformers' Claims Just Don't Add Up

Health Reform: Many extravagant claims have been made on behalf of the various health care "reforms" now emerging from Congress and the White House. But on closer inspection, virtually all prove to be false.

Part Seventeen

Bay State Rationing

Health Care: Massachusetts' universal medical program is no longer universal. Coverage is being dropped for 30,000 because not enough money is around to pay for everyone. There's a lesson in this for Congress.

Part Sixteen

Tax Hike Comin'

Paying For Reform: New data from a nonpartisan think tank confirm our worst fears about health care reform: The plans proposed by the White House and Congress will lead to economically ruinous tax hikes.

Part Fifteen

A Right That's Wrong

Reform: Of the many objectionable provisions in the House's latest medical insurance bill, none is as destructive or morally offensive as the one that declares health care to be a "right."

Part Fourteen

It's Not An Option

Congress: It didn't take long to run into an "uh-oh" moment when reading the House's "health care for all Americans" bill. Right there on Page 16 is a provision making individual private medical insurance illegal.

Part Thirteen

Fix Medicare First

Health Care: President Obama says a new public insurance plan is needed to keep private companies "honest." Well, to be honest, there's already a public plan, and it's hurtling toward insolvency.

Part Twelve

The Undercovered

Health Care: Having been on the receiving end of a letter-writing campaign, we are acutely aware that many are concerned about the plight of the uninsured. Too bad they're not similarly aware of the facts.

Part Eleven

HELP For Whom?

Health Reform: A Senate health care bill will force Americans to buy health insurance whether they want it or not. Where the extra doctors to treat them will come from is anybody's guess.

Part Ten

Canada's Single-Prayer Health Care

Health Reform: A critically ill premature baby is moved to a U.S hospital to get the treatment she couldn't get in the system we're told we should emulate. Cost-effective care? In Canada, as elsewhere, you get what you pay for.

Part Nine

Lower-Cost Health Reform? Yeah, Right

Health Care: Does the public option plan stand a better chance of becoming law now that a new estimate pegs the cost at less than $1 trillion? Better hope not. It's just another rosy federal projection hiding the true cost.

Part Eight

Public Menace

Health Care: President Obama defends his federal plan as a tool to "discipline" private insurers. If that's really what he wants, why not set up a national market with real competition for a change?

Part Seven

Union Favors

Congress: With health care nationalization apparently headed for the morgue in the House and Senate, the latest scheme to revive it is to give union health plans a special tax break. This will create a Frankenstein.

Part Six

Dead Wait

Reform: As Americans debate who's in control of their health care system, a lot of Britons aren't concerned about how the argument turns out. They're too busy trying to get a hospital room before it's too late.

Part Five

Why The Rush?

Leadership: A pattern is emerging for this new presidency. The more radical and far-reaching the plan, the less time the public gets to debate it. Is this due to ambition or fear of push-back?

Part Four

Congress' Unhealthy Care Plan

Health Care: The CBO says a government-run health care system would cause 23 million Americans to lose private coverage, cost $1 trillion dollars and still leave 30 million uninsured.

Part Three

Why He Was Booed

Health Care: President Obama talked a lot about cutting medical costs during his 7,300-word speech to doctors Monday. But he rejected the only item he brought up that would actually cut medical costs.

Part Two

The Phantom Uninsured

Health Care: The administration uses the "46 million uninsured" as a reason to nationalize health care. But the Census Bureau says about a fifth of those aren't U.S. citizens. In fact, a goodly number are illegal aliens.

Part One

Truth-Mongering

Health Reform: The president predicts "scare tactics and fear-mongering that (have) worked in the past," warnings of "socialized medicine," "rationed care" and bureaucratic control. Real fears deserve mongering.
