Worth Reading: How Doctors are Trapped By John Goodman

http://healthblog.ncpa.org/how-doctors-are-trapped/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=HA#more-23486

Excerpt: Every lawyer, every accountant, every architect, every engineer — indeed, every professional in every other field — is able to do something doctors cannot do. They can repackage and reprice their services. If demand changes or if they discover a way of meeting their clients’ needs more efficiently, they are free to offer a different bundle of services for a different price. Doctors, by contrast, are trapped. To see how trapped, let’s look at another profession: the practice of law. Suppose you are accused of a crime and suppose your lawyer is paid the way doctors are paid. That is, suppose some third-party payer bureaucracy pays your lawyer a different fee for each separate task she performs in your defense.

SOPA, PIPA ARE LEFTIST CONCEPTS AND ARE MEANT TO CURTAIL FREEDOM

White House letter Defends E-Parasite, Anti-Internet BillsFor months now Conservative Action Alerts has been warning of the dangers related to certain freedom-killing ‘anti-privacy’ bills making their ways through Congress: the House of Representatives’ Stopping Online Piracy Act (HR 3261) — formerly entitled E-PARASITE — and the Senate’s Protect IP Act (S. 968); these are often referred to as ‘SOPA’ and ‘PIPA’. As usual, Big Government is attempting to to mask a glaring, halfway-there power-grab with high-sounding, governmentish language — in this case, language claiming to crack down on so-called ‘rogue websites’ in order to fight copyright infringements. However, and history makes this clear, the fact is that more government most often means more problems (and the inverse is also true: less government means less problems).Read More

LIBERALS BUSY REWRITING U.S. CONSTITUTION WITH ERASERS

Waking in UtopiaThe American people need to wake up. While they slept their way through the 20th century like modern day Rip Van Winkles, the stealth social progressives within our government and in our society-at-large were busy rewriting that traditional old primer, the McGuffey Reader of America—The Constitution of the United States. Politicians and the greedy men who finance their political careers have been reconstructing the basic tenets of liberty found in the Constitution by simply erasing them, one noun and verb at a time, and replacing the inalienable rights found in that sacred document with the retractable rights found in the UN Covenant on Human Rights. Today that American McGuffey’s Reader we call the Constitution is being surreptitiously rewritten by eraser by those assigned by the Constitution with its protection: the Congress of the United States and the federal court system.Read More

HARRY REID CONTINUES TO SIT ON JOBS BILLS AS HE WHINES ABOUT TEA PARTY

Tea Party ‘extremism’Saying it’s time to rebuild America by working together to create jobs, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Sunday prepared for Congress’ return to Washington this week with a warning to Republicans to leave Tea Party “extremism” behind and “learn what legislation is all about.” “I would hope that they understand that everything doesn’t have to be a fight. Legislation is an art of working together, building consensus, compromise. And I hope that the Tea Party doesn’t have the influence in this next year that they had in the previous year,” Reid said.Read More

DEMOCRATS CONTINUE THEIR LYING WAYS

Dear Fellow Conservative,
Just a few days ago Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Chair of the Democratic National Committee, did what I thought was unthinkable—even for her. On live television, Schultz publicly and wrongly blamed the Tea Party movement for last year’s Tucson shooting which resulted in the deaths of six people and seriously injured Rep. Gabby Giffords:

“I hesitate to place blame, but I have noticed it take a very precipitous turn towards edginess and lack of civility with the growth of the Tea Party movement," said Wasserman Schultz.

Tell Rep. Wasserman Schultz she’s wrong and DEMAND your apology now!

LEARN WHAT ROMNEY TRULY BELIEVES - HAS TAKEN A 'BLOOD OATH' TO OBEY HIS 'CHURCH'

WHAT ROMNEY REALLY BELIEVES ABOUT RACE, GOD, JESUS, THE BIBLE AND CHRISTIANS

ST PETERSBURG, Fla., Jan. 16, 2011 / Bill Keller, the world's leading
Internet Evangelist and the founder of LivePrayer.com, with over 2.4 million
subscribers worldwide reading the daily devotional he has written every
morning for 12 years on the issues of the day from a Biblcial worldview,
says it is necessary today with the vast majority of the last two
generations having never been to church, and with most of those who do being
Biblically illiterate, to educate people on what Mitt Romney and Mormons
really believe about African-Americans, God, Jesus, the Bible, and Biblical
Christians.

WHY DO CITIES ACT AS THEIR OWN LAWMAKERS AND DENY THE U.S. CONSTITUTION

COOK COUNTY, IL SANCTUARY POLICY “MAY BE ILLEGAL” 

Common sense is all it takes to figure out that sanctuary policies in the United States violate federal immigration law and is therefore illegal, but the federal immigration chief is still teetering on making a decision after Cook County, Illinois’ sanctuary policy paved the way for a suspect in a deadly drunken driving crash to bond out and disappear.  U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director John Morton wrote in a Jan. 4 letter to County Board President Toni Preckwinkle that the sanctuary ordinance preventing law enforcement officers from participating in the mandatory Secure Communities federal program “may also violate federal law,” in addition to, “undermining local public safety.”

Mitt Romney, Fiscal and Social Liberal:
• Unilaterally, illegally & unconstitutionally instituted same-sex “marriage” falsely claiming the “court ordered him to.” Proof here and here
• Signed the forerunner to Obamacare (Romneycare) into law which includes $50 tax-subsidized elective surgical abortions including late-term abortions into law (3 years AFTER his fake “pro-life conversion.”) Proof here
• Boosted funding for homosexual “education” starting in kindergarten. Proof here

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IS A CRISIS THAT WILL DESTROY AMERICA

Immigration challenge not over - America sacrifice zoneIn his recent commentary, University of Southern California professor and New York Times guest columnist Dowell Myers said, “The immigration crisis roiling in America for decades has faded into history.” In reality, it accelerates beyond anyone’s understanding. Because of legal and illegal immigration, the PEW Hispanic Center predicted America’s population will rise by 100 million by 2035 and 138 million by 2050—90 percent driven by legal immigration. “US Population Projections” by......http://www.newswithviews.com/Wooldridge/frosty732.htm

OBAMA - A FAILED LEADER...INEFFECTIVE...WEAK WILLED...JUST ANOTHER BIG SPENDER

Obama Flunks His Own TestThis past week, the Bureau of Economic Analysis announced that the Gross Domestic Product through the third quarter of 2011 was $15.17 trillion. The national debt now tops (with the President’s impending call for yet another increase in the debt ceiling) $15.23 trillion. In short, the national debt exceeds the GDP. Economists have frequently described that point as one of the strongest indicators of impending economic collapse. On the way to economic oblivion, we have just crossed the Rubicon......http://www.newswithviews.com/Emord/jonathan227.htm

WE MUST LIVE BY U.S. CONSTITUTION AND NOT BY INTERNATIONAL LAWS

Sharia and International Law: Oklahoma’s ResponseTo preclude a judge from considering “international law” distorts our own history and founding. A study of the Federalist Papers reveals as much that international and common law, use, and customs were used to formulate our own constitutional structure and governmental form. For a judge to interpret and apply the fundamental law (constitution), he must study and understand the words and sense of the constitution as meant and intended by the makers and ratifiers of the constitution......http://www.newswithviews.com/Timothy/baldwin180.htm

RedState Briefing 01/16/2012

RedState Morning Briefing

For January 16, 2012

Forward Morning Briefing to a Friend.

As we start here this morning, there is a wire story that Jon Huntsman is going to drop out of the Presidential race today. My gut reaction is that it does not have a huge impact on the race, though it might give Romney one extra percentage point or two. Huntsman will reportedly back Romney.

The most hilarious component of this is that Huntsman’s withdrawal comes on the heels of South Carolina’s most prominent newspaper, The State, endorsing him. Never trust newspapers to get endorsements right.

1. The Evangelical Vote

2. The Great White Unknown

3. The Non-Producers

4. Can a Nonexistent Congress Issue $1.2 Trillion in Debt?
