The Obama Care Scam
ObamaCare is a scam. It further empowers politicians to dictate how you seek medical care and support charities. Politicians should protect, rather than violate, your right to make these choices. The bill is not reform. Rather, it spreads a disease that masquerades as its own cure: authoritarian politically-controlled medicine.
Get Ready for Health Insurance Slumlords
If you dislike your health insurer now, just wait until politicians impose price controls that make your insurer act like a slumlord. Expect worse customer service, skimpier plans, and more claim denials.
House Bill 1330: The All-Payer Database is a Transparency Trojan Horse

Why We're 'Crazy' About Health Care Choice
Sentinel Editor Dave Perry dismisses the Colorado Right to Health Care Choice Initiative as “crazy” and says its supporters “clearly have lost” their minds (Opinion, January 21).
The Initiative would prohibit Colorado government from requiring you to purchase health insurance.
Health Insurers' 'Sins' Don’t Justify Reform
Are health insurance companies evil? A web search for the phrase turns up almost a million hits. The common reasons for this passionate indictment are insurance company profits, denial of claims, and rescission of policies. But these do not justify the Democrats’ goal of expanding political control of health insurance. Rather, they call attention to existing controls that unfairly advantage insurers and limit competition that would keep insurers honest. They also suggest government’s failure to enforce contracts
Why You Should Hate Insurance Companies: No, It's Not Profit.

Michael Bennet Should Oppose Democrat Health “Reform”
Senator Michael Bennet says that “health care reform must shift control from insurance companies to doctors, nurses and their patients.” If so, he should oppose the Democrats’ so-called health care “reform.” Insurance companies have too much control because politicians have handed it to them through tax laws that give preferential treatment to employer-provided insurance.
A Health Care “System” is the Problem
In response to the question: “As Congress debates health care reform, tell us what — if anything — you think should be changed about the U.S. health care system?”
Having a health care “system” is itself the problem. It implies that politicians dictate your medical choices, at your expense, regardless of whether their “system” serves your individual needs and preferences.
