Senators Rand Paul (R-KY), Mike Lee (R-UT), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Mark Meadows (R-NC) and Tom Cotton (R-AR) and the House Freedom Caucus oppose replacing ObamaCare with another version involving too much government control and a new version of subsidies called tax credits, while Senators Lamar Alexander (R-TN) and Jeff Flake (R-AZ) have warned Republicans against moving too quickly […]
The solution to fixing healthcare in America is not going to be solved by having insurance companies cross state lines because even if we did allow them to cross, what assurance is there that costs would come down and choices would increase? You would also have to standardize rules across the board so that rules […]
Solving our healthcare problem is not going to happen in one fell swoop as the problem did not just start with Obamacare; it has been festering a long time and part of the problem is thinking that everyone is entitled to have healthcare. We just proved with Obamacare that this will eventually bankrupt the country. […]
Right now there is a lot of discussion about Obamacare, or the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. No one seems to be asking if this is the proper role of government. (The bill was huge, and Congresswoman Pelosi said that we had to pass it so we could find out what was in it. Now […]

The 30-hour work week was thrust upon us by ObamaCare and the lost income had to be replaced by finding 2nd jobs by most affected workers. Those second jobs were counted as new jobs, which in fact they were, but should not count as jobs that put someone who has been out of work in […]
Mr. Armstrong, you are just another of the crony bureaucrats who want to expand big government and the budget of the Dept. of Health and Welfare. I have yet to hear you stand up and complain about the continuing accelerating cost of medical care or the huge escalations of premiums for health insurance. Instead you […]
In reply to an article written by Wayne Hoffman Dir. of Idaho Freedom Foundation Can someone please tell me who picks the legislators to be on these panels because they need to do some homework?
