by Michael

Aging Baby Boomers Face Losing Care as Filipinos Go Home

Stephanie Chan spent four years at Manila Doctors College qualifying to work as a nurse overseas. She never left the country. Instead, she switched careers and now earns almost as much monitoring people’s finances.

Chan is one of thousands of Filipinos each year who study to become health workers to boost their chance of a higher income overseas. She’s also now part of a growing trend of workers who are opting not to [...]

I won a bet today.

A few weeks ago I wagered with a coworker that the United States Supreme Court would uphold the Affordable Care Act otherwise known as Obamacare.  He reasoned that the federal government has no authority under the Constitution to force an individual to purchase a product from a private company.  My reasoning was much simpler.  Because the Supreme Court is a functioning arm of [...]

A top U.S. surgeon weighs in on the Obamacare ruling, “It should have never come to this…”

From A Lightning War for Liberty:

Over the past six months, I have had the distinct pleasure to become acquainted with Dr. Dave Janda, orthopedic surgeon and the Director and founder of the Institute of Preventative Sports Medicine based in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Shortly after recording my first radio interview with him, he sent me his book, The Awakening of a Surgeon, which has been featured on the Oprah Winfrey show. This book [...]

STATES BALK AT GETTING DEEPER INTO MEDICAID

WASHINGTON — Millions of poor people could still be left without medical insurance under the national health care law if states take an option granted by the Supreme Court and decide not to expand theirMedicaid programs, state officials and health policy experts said Friday.

Why U.S. life expectancy could plummet under Obamacare

From Economic Policy Journal:

I have consistently pointed out that Obamacare will result, within two to three years of its implementation, in a decline in life expectancy in the United States.

This is chiefly because Obamacare looks at healthcare from the macro-position of its proportion to total GDP, without allowing for individual choice.

Because the structure of Obamacare will be decisions at the macro-level in a structure that will be co-opted by the [...]

To everyone finding it so crazy that some people oppose Obamacare, let me respond to your massive generalizations.

Taken from reddit:

It isn’t that conservatives want Americans go uninsured. The battling viewpoints are not: “let poor people get sick” vs “let’s get everyone healthy”. The viewpoint is: how much do we want our federal government involved in our lives. And conservatives stand on the side of less. Yes, in the party there is a disconnect between the religious right and this philosophy in terms of certain social policy, but [...]

AFP: President Warns Supremes ‘Unelected’

AFP

US President Barack Obama on Monday challenged the “unelected” Supreme Court not to take the “extraordinary” and “unprecedented” step of overturning his landmark health reform law.

Though Obama said he was confident the court would uphold the law, the centerpiece of his political legacy, he appeared to be previewing campaign trail arguments should the nine justices strike the legislation down.

In a highly combative salvo, Obama also staunchly defended the anchor of [...]
