He told me then that the Veterans Administration health care system was awful and he avoided it like the plague. When he told me that, I just assumed […]
*Disclaimer, some of this post talks about medical exams on female genitalia. If that’s gonna bother you, go check out this post. No hoohas there. Yesterday, I came across an article on a study by the Annals of Internal Medicine on the efficacy — or lack there of — of routine pelvic exams. The study […]
Today is the last day to sign up for health insurance to be covered by the original January 1 deadline set by Obamacare. Things are changing day by day, so that deadline — at least for the purposes of getting hit with the tax — is probably not valid. Although if you are relying on […]
Today in my Washington Times Communities column, I’m writing about a case in Canada regarding a woman with Alzheimer’s disease and a disagreement between her family and the nursing home where she resides regarding her care.

Here’s a bill I could actually support. It addresses the actual problem of health insurance affordability while not imposing huge economic burdens or more government bureaucracies.

That was a very busy summer fighting government rationing healthcare, taxpayer funded abortion on demand, involuntary euthanasia through the denial of life saving treatments, good times. (Okay, so I mainly made copies and stuffed envelopes. Papercuts! […]
