“Government has no incentive to improve.”

My blog is turning into the Jimmie Bise show, and frankly, I’m ok with that.
I sang his praises yesterday, and want to do so again. You’ve got to read this quote from his most recent podcast:
And look, let’s fact it. It’s not right that insurance companies right now have control of your health care. That [...]

“…a bill that the American public clearly does not like, and doesn’t support.”

Who else is tired of the health care debate? Sen. Mitch McConnell is right: the American public doesn’t like this and doesn’t support it. Shouldn’t that be enough?
“While final details of this bill are still unknown, here’s what we do know: It will be a thousand-page, trillion-dollar bill that raises premiums, raises taxes and slashes [...]

Four minutes to save health care? What’s the rush?

1st October 2009 by Catherine Favazza 1 Comment

After the president’s recent address to Congress on the urgency of health care, the White House put together a 4-minute video featuring highlights of Obama’s presentation. This struck me as comical particularly because the president isn’t the one writing, debating, amending and voting on the legislation; Obama has a plan, sure, but the details are [...]

16th September 2009 by Catherine Favazza Comments Off

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell summed up what all the Americans with whom I’ve spoken think about health care reform today on the Senate floor:
“The American people want health care reform — not with more government, but with less. They don’t want a new government-run system; they want us to repair the system we’ve got. [...]
