From Michelle Malkin: Most of us are fully aware that the Health Care Bill will inevitably lead to rationing (it already has), but because these unpopular power and money grabs have put districts into play for Republicans that were once thought safe, it’s also leading to a rationing of campaign funds for the Democrats: Democratic Congressional Campaign [...]

From The Heritage Foundation: The effects of Obamacare are getting weirder with each passing month.

From The Heritage Foundation: Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA) is one of the more honest members of the left in Congress. Long before President Barack Obama first started pushing Obamacare, Rep.

From Human Events: Obamacare had to be passed pronto. Speaker Nancy Pelosi said we had to pass it so we could know what’s in it. All 2,000-plus pages were finally passed on March 23 through trickery and procedural hocus pocus. There were supposed to be provisions that would go into effect right away, like establishing [...]

From ABC News: Three months after the $938 billion health care bill was signed into law, questions abound about whether the Obama administration can meet all the deadlines in the massive law while dealing with the political pressures of Congress.
