The
Devaluation of the Doctor and Its Effect on the American People
The
announcement by the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) to move
50% of its non-managed care spending into Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs)
and bundled payments coupled with the recent passage of Medicare Access and
CHIP Reauthorization Act (H.R.2) the repeal of the so called 'doc fix' will
lead to the end of private healthcare, narrow the range of medical services
offered by physicians, and increase the cost to patients and taxpayers. It will
not accomplish the goal of improvement of outcomes or increase access to
healthcare for Americans. Instead, these changes will likely further decrease access
for the sickest patients and decrease the quality of care for patients overall.
If physicians and hospitals are now to be rewarded for positive outcomes, they
will skew their services to healthier patients if for no other reason than to
remain open. [more...]
The
Left Just Wants Their Facts
By
Joe
Messina
The
news gods may be having a little change of heart. ABC, NBC, CBS, and, yes, even
MSNBC have been asking questions and making comments about Hillary Clinton's
blatant disregard for the law and her failure to think things through when it
comes to taking money from countries and questionable characters. Just when I
thought the clouds were going to part bringing some semblance of sanity, in
steps George Stephanopoulos, a very left-wing journalist, who, after speaking
with the author of "Clinton Cash" basically said, "Move along... nothing to see here." His
premise being that since we have no hard evidence that money changed hands for
favors through the White House for the Clintons that all is well in OZ. [more...]
The Baltimore Riots and the Future of America's
Government
What
is underlying the riots in Baltimore? Rock throwing, flyers distributed
about anarchy and a purge, injured police officers, burning cars, subway
stations shut down, a major league game cancelled - all part of a pattern
of violence against local police after a black man died in police
custody. These events are similar to recent riots in Ferguson,
Missouri. Are they justified? Mob violence is not justified.
Hurting innocent people is neither legal nor moral. In Ferguson, the
police officer was exonerated by local law investigators and a Federal
investigation. So what's the real
issue in Baltimore? Progressive socialists seeking to centralize all
police functions into a national police force under big government. [Go here for a complete analysis...]
The Coming GOP Demolition-Derby
Circular Firing Squad
With
the announcement two weeks ago that four super-PACS - headed by the mysterious
Robert Mercer from Long Island, NY - had donated a stunning $31 million to Sen.
Ted Cruz's (R-Texas) presidential campaign, a new era of GOP primary battles
was launched. In the past, the GOP
establishment wing always handsomely funded their candidate. It was
always the conservatives who were underfunded. And thus the primary
outcome was preordained: After the initial dust-up in Iowa and perhaps South
Carolina, the establishment money wore the conservative(s) down and ultimately
prevailed in a war of attrition. That is not going to happen in the 2016
election cycle. [more...]
Minimum Wage Workers and the Unions
By
Dave
Bego
Recently, the "Fight for Fifteen"
demonstrations at McDonald's and Wal-Mart stores across the country have
sparked empathy in the news coverage by the mainstream media. The liberal
coverage of these outlets portrays employees as being taken advantage of and in
need of increased wages and benefits. "Fight for Fifteen" and the so-called
"work centers" that are championing this cause - providing their own
version of training and assistance - are nothing more than union fronts where union
bosses use fast food workers for personal gain. Unions are pouring millions of
dollars into these "work centers" as a method of unionizing the fast
food workers across America! [more...]
Anxiety
in Hollywood over Clinton Allegations
By
James
Hirsen
The
recent allegations surrounding Bill and Hillary Clinton are giving Hollywood a
serious case of nerves and may be placing in jeopardy Hillary's fledgling
presidential candidacy. The entertainment community was initially shaken by the
questions that had arisen regarding the former Secretary of State's use of a
private e-mail account during her official tenure. More recently, though,
stories about the Clinton Foundation and Hillary's husband's intriguing tally
of speaking fees while she simultaneously served in the Obama Cabinet have some
Hollywood insiders searching for 2016 presidential alternatives. [more...]
Bruce
Jenner Transgender
Bruce
Jenner’s recent interview on 20/20 not
only received rave reviews but about 17 million viewers tuned in, too. On
Friday night Bruce Jenner announced that at heart he’s always felt like a woman
in essence and that he would be taking the steps towards transitioning into
one. What makes Jenner so interesting is that his influence spans generations.
Some know him as the famed and former Olympian, while others recognize him as
the beloved stepdad to the Kardashian clan. Jenner’s interview was so profound
because he was able to help bridge some very big gaps in understanding and helping
to empower the much too commonly discriminated against LGBT community. It was
the biggest night for 20/20 in over
20 years with a whopping 972,000 tweets, ranking it as the most social Friday
telecast to date, excluding sports night events. [more...]
