They do exist!!!!! The Death Panels I mean.

Reform’s Nasty Little Surprises
Many thought Nancy Pelosi was joking when she said, “We have to pass the bill so you can find out what’s in it.” But the more we learn about her 2,400-page horror, the more we realize the joke’s on us.

The Real Issue In Health Care: Who Decides?

Costly Change

To Repeat: Doctors Could Hang It Up

Rationing’s First Step
A government task force has decided that women need fewer mammograms and later in life. Shouldn’t that be between patient and physician? We have seen the future of health care, and it doesn’t work.

THE COMING SHORTAGE OF DOCTORS
None of the health care reform proposals advancing in Congress addresses a fundamental problem that will soon face this country: a critical shortage of doctors, says Dr. Herbert Pardes, president and CEO of New York Presbyterian Hospital. There were reform ideas put forward in Congress that would have addressed this problem. Most notably, Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-N.Y) and Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) have proposed training an additional 4,000 new physicians to add to the 25,000 entering the profession each year. But their proposals haven’t made it into the bills on which congressional leaders hope to vote.

FACT CHECK: Health insurer profits not so fat
Quick quiz: What do these enterprises have in common? Farm and construction machinery, Tupperware, the railroads, Hershey sweets, Yum food brands and Yahoo? Answer: They’re all more profitable than the health insurance industry.
In the health care debate, Democrats and their allies have gone after insurance companies as rapacious profiteers making “immoral” and “obscene” returns while “the bodies pile up.”
Ledgers tell a different reality. Health insurance profit margins typically run about 6 percent, give or take a point or two. That’s anemic compared with other forms of insurance and a broad array of industries, even some beleaguered ones.

Stealth Socialism
Congress’ planned health care revolution will be bad enough without a government-run option. With it, Euro-style socialism becomes inevitable. It’s time for a bipartisan way out of this disaster.

You Mislead!
