I am trying to catch up again. So many stories to talk about. The Internet is a wonderful tool. I have learned so many new things by being able to access newspapers so easily from around the world including even news stories from home through the Windsor Star Online since I cancelled my subscription to the published version. CONGRESSMAN DINGELL MAY HAVE HAD OTHER MOTIVES TOO Don't you find it odd...
NTU urges all Representatives to vote “NO” on H.R. 3961, the so-called “Medicare Physician Payment Reform Act.” Introduced by Representative John Dingell (D-MI), this bill is part of an appalling display of bait-and-switch to reduce the apparent cost of health care reform. H.R. 3962, the recently passed House health care “reform” bill, received a 10-year cost estimate...
It's clear that Obama doesn't have the votes for Cap-n-Tax in the Senate, or he would not have hinted that it's off the table late last week. Perhaps that's because Browner's gang will simply regulate us to the Promised Land instead . ...In an obvious administrative overreach, EPA wants to rewrite the 1970 Clean Air Act to regulate greenhouse gases. The agency just released a proposed rule that would...

My Way News : WASHINGTON (AP) - The Democratic-controlled House has narrowly passed landmark health care reform legislation, handing President Barack Obama a hard won victory on his signature domestic priority. Republicans were nearly unanimous in opposing the plan that would expand coverage to tens of millions of Americans who lack it and place tough new restrictions on the insurance industry. The...
NPR examines the historical role that Rep. John Dingell has played in health care policy, including the establishment of Medicare: "When people think of health care and Congress, often the first name that springs to mind is the late Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts. But while Rep.
‘W hatever happened to Saturday night'” asked the poet. Most Americans, we hope, had more diverting business than staying up near unto the witching hour to watch Nancy Pelosi’s Democrats vote to make meatloaf of the insurance business and a good chunk of the overall health-care system with it. Saturday night’s alright for party politics, but the hangover is inescapable. Let’s...

What an amazing night for health care. I watched only a little, and then some highlights this morning. I'm sorry to have missed seeing the vote live. It is just the one step. But I feel glad. And vindicated. And I think - I think - that the paper tiger of the Repubs is starting to look frayed. When John Boehner (R-Ohio) went on and on about how terrible it was that the bill had a provision that would...
Yesterday, Rep. John Dingell and the Women's Democratic Caucus in the House were no more than frustrated baby sitters dealing with incorrigible, bratty seven years olds playing the "I'm not touching you" game while wiggling their fingers in their opponents' faces. These are elected officials whose sole purpose was to delay the proceedings and derail the vote for House health care bill on...

Things are mighty close folks. Last night, the House passed ObamaCare 220-215. Not a unanimous vote by any means. There were 176 Republicans and 39 Democrats that opposed the bill. One lone Republican that voted for the bill -- Rep. Joseph Cao from New Orleans. A Republican alternative was rejected on a near party line vote of 258-176. Conservatives from both parties united at the last minute to impose...
