Where Is The Democrats Single Payer Option?
Back in 2009/2010, right or wrong, the Obama Administration decided that the nation wasn’t ready for a single payer health care insurance plan. So after a lot of internal hand wringing and self inflicted concessions we ended up with a Romney-care look alike called the Affordable Care Act. It was less that perfect out of […]
What IS Wrong With Obamacare?
So what really is wrong with Obamacare, aka, the Affordable Care Act? Well there are any number of fundamental things that could be fixed or overhauled that would make it work far better than it does today. But what is the basic affliction that keeps it from being successful? The Obama Administration didn’t market it […]
From what I have read about the House and Senate heath insurance bills…it sounds like the states who accepted the Medicaid expansion will fair far better than those states that didn’t. So Governor Walker…it’s time to accept the Medicaid expansion portion of the Affordable Care Act before it’s too late to do so. And it […]
Scott Walker Is A Pre-existing Condition
And a member of a high risk pool that we can’t afford. Ok, let’s put the puns aside for a minute, but since the passage of the House version of the American Health Care Act…another reason that Governor Scott Walker should not be re-elected has been exposed.
After passage of the bill, Governor Walker’s gut […]

Governor Brownback Vetoes Kansas Medicaid Expansion
As I wrote earlier this week, Kansas was one of the red states considering accepting the Medicaid expansion that is part of the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare…when can we stop akaing this thing?).
Well the Kansas state legislature passed the bill authorizing the request, but solid gold Tea Party ideologue Governor Sam […]
Hey Kids, Let’s Drug Test Health Insurance Applicants!
As I stated yesterday, in the face of the failure of the GOP bid to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, instead of considering accepting the Medicaid expansion like a number of other Republican states, Wisconsin’s Governor Scott Walker wants to move more people off of BadgerCare (the Wisconsin Medicaid implementation).
[…]
When it was obvious that they didn’t have the votes in the House to pass the American Health Care Act, House Speaker Paul Ryan and President Donald Trump agreed to pull it from consideration. They claimed it was close but the Washington Post was touting 36 confirmed no votes and 15 leaning towards no in […]
You’d think after seven years of kvetching, the GOP would have a robust plan to provide all Americans with health insurance. Well they didn’t need to. All they wanted to do was run against Obamacare…and promise to repeal it…and pass the bills to do so since they knew President Obama would veto whatever bill they […]
