If Sandra Fluke wants free birth control because they have so much sex that it’s unaffordable, then we should also be able to give drunks free booze because they have the shakes.

Obamacare was supposed to do three things -

1) provide health-insurance coverage for all Americans

2) reduce insurance costs for individuals, businesses, and government

3) increase the quality of health care and the value received for each dollar of health-care spending

That went well! It has done none of those things and it is a failure of tragic proportions if it is not eradicated.

Obamacare has endless numbers of bureaucrats writing endless new rules and generating endlessly more bureaucratic jobs. All those bureaucrats will decide your healthcare – it’s the Utopian healthcare system. Even though CBS buried this information, their most recent poll that shows 57% are against the Obamacare mandate  (Read about it on Newsbusters since CBS has hidden the poll). These mandates will keep on coming.

One of the most important aspects the SCOTUS will consider next week as they review the constitutionality of the individual mandate which is the imposition of a financial penalty on people who decline to buy insurance.

Quote of the Week

“Tornadoes form below a class of severe thunderstorms known as supercells. Supercells feature intense upward moving columns of air that rotate, as the wind near the surface is drawn into those columns it begins to rotate and forms the tornado vortex. The damage attributed to tornadoes is caused by the strong winds in the vortex and flying debris.

“Oklahoma sits within an area of the United States commonly referred to as ‘tornado alley’ – this area is amongst the most frequent locations of tornado occurrence in the world. At this time of year, the warm and moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and cool and dry air from above the Rocky Mountains come together to make tornado alley the perfect environment to spawn supercells and tornadoes.

“Preliminary reports of damage from the Oklahoma tornado suggest it was of EF-4 intensity, which is the second highest intensity rating. EF-4 tornadoes have wind gusts between about 265 and 320 kilometres per hour.”
