Dr. Tim Shepherd talked to the Heritage Foundation about his concerns surrounding Obamacare. He does, indeed, talk about the patients who frequent his practice like they’re his own family. The following excerpt is from Heritage, as well as the links included to fact check:
URGENT: Rep. Pete Sessions plans to use a House trick THIS WEEK to stop the effort to defund Obamcare. The movement has been gaining in momentum and now armed with over 1 million signatures and a telephone, we must defend freedom against the complacent big government RINOs.
According to a new poll conducted by Gravis Marketing for Human Events, Speaker of the House John Boehner, isn’t exactly in great shape with Ohio voters, particularly Republicans. Half of the respondents reported they would welcome a challenger to John Boehner in the 2014 congressional race. Respondents were registered Republican voters living in Boehner’s district.
The Labor Department reports the U.S. economy added 169,000 jobs in August, missing economists’ expectations of 180,000. The jobless rate fell to 7.3%, the lowest since December 2008, and less than estimates that it would hold steady at 7.4%.
So much for balance. In a classic argument for starving the beast in Washington, the United States ran another budget deficit in July, although government revenues increased from a year earlier due to tax hikes and tepid economic growth, a report from the Treasury showed on Monday.
I by no means endorse this plan as the best way to provide the best care for the most people. Indeed, that’s the heart of our health care debate. However, I do recognize that for too long, healthcare reform efforts – including the Affordable Care Act – have pitted our core values against one another. The following plan proposed on AEI looks at the following questions that I would agree, even if you do not agree, are at the heart of the debate as well.
UPDATE: I will periodically post the latest
The head of the IRS Danny Werfel, who is tasked with enforcing ObamaCare said Thursday to Congress that he’d rather not get his own health insurance from the system created by the health care overhaul.
If you thought that the “phony scandal” strategy was over, then you were dead wrong. Kicking off his move to pivot to the economy at Knox College – which has to be the tenth pivot now – President Obama cited those pesky abuses of power as the main reason why he cannot get his agenda through Congress. He’ll travel to Tennessee Tuesday to continue trying to frame this fall’s fiscal fights (Read the 4 Biggest Lies During Obama’s Speech At Knox College).

The latest Obama speech was more of the same, except for one little nuance. Now, he is still going to lie openly to supporters who could watch Obama murder a child and still think he is the best thing since sliced bread, but he is going to do it for a really long time. That’s called a “cult of personality” and it’s almost as pathetic as it is dangerous.
