While the Mega-Rich Businesses are being “outed” for election tactics that intimidate, some small businesses are doing the same thing – though not necessarily for the same reasons.

Thinking the unthinkable. As horrible as it is to think of this, the wise are doing just that.

Today’s GOP is the equivalent of a 1960’s Madison Avenue ad agency aggressively promoting the benefits of cigarette smoking, fully knowing that if they’re successful, millions will suffer and die but only caring about making the wealthy people they work for, wealthier.

Romney’s latest set of magic political underwear will not protect him nor the fantasy he wants to promote about being able to repeal the ACA.

In what can only be described as a surprising outcome, Chief Justice John Roberts sided with the four liberal Supreme Court judges to uphold the Affordable Care Act and its key provision of the individual mandate.

Romney’s ideal America is one where the wealthy buy their own White House and Congress, tax revenues are rerouted from the poor, elderly and majority into the pockets of the wealthy and all regulations that prevent the wealthy from harming the public are removed.

If the Affordable Care Act goes down. No problem. The Justices and the Congress get GREAT medical care at tax payer expense.

Republicans love to hate, in fact, for Valentine’s Day today, the GOP website will send a dozen hateful pejoratives in a gift box to that special Muslim or gay person on your enemies list.

Single payer seems dead legislatively in California, not just as a bill but as an issue. It died not due to insurance industry opposition but due to the outrageous bullying tactics of its supporters. Nice job, BullyProgs.

As the HCR debate continues there are still some prevailing myths that prevail over the ACA law. Most myths are slanted right but key myths slant left as well.

Step right up! Try Republican Ryan’s Remarkable Remedy! It’s just the thing for what ails ya! One taste of this and whatever you were concerned about before will become the least of your worries!

Our congress has made known one path to a balanced budget and what they refer to as “prosperity” for the American people.  It is a path that is wrought with pain and sacrifice for the vast majority of Americans and extreme wealth and comfort for the rest.  The proposal calls for tax […]

As some people know my biggest issue is healthcare for personal reasons. I just want to share with people the journey I went through learning about healthcare systems to try to figure out what real improvement would look like. Most of my initial perceptions of what a healthcare system needs […]
