Editor’s Note: Harry Reid is playing a shameless accounting shell game with his Senate Health bill. As the editors at IBD explain in the following article, the real cost of his seizure of the health care industry would be at [...]
Domestic issues including the mushrooming debt and the Democrats attempt to nationalize the health care industry consume the majority of the national media’s attention these days.

From a new Cato Institute policy analysis, Bending the Productivity Curve: Why America Leads the World in Medical Innovation:
The health care issues commonly considered most important today — controlling costs and covering the uninsured — arguably should be regarded as secondary to innovation, inasmuch as a medical treatment must [...]
The theme of a commercial sponsored by Aventis Pharmaceuticals and played today on Fox between football games. Big Pharma and Fox, the ones who are trying To Make It God-Damned Impossible for uninsured people to be able to Get A Checkup Or Any Other Form Of Health Care.
A Scene: [...]

“If you get to the final point and you are a critical vote for health care reform and every piece of evidence tells you if you support the bill you will lose' [...]
As health care reform inches closer to reality, a massively important question becomes even more pressing: Will ObamaCare kill the sorts of medical innovation that makes the United States the leader in bringing new treatments, technology, and procedures to market?
“America is the only industrialized nation that doesn’t have a national [...]
Over the last week, I have received a lot of emails from people who I am in contact with rarely, at best. A couple were from people with whom I've worked on campaigns over the years. Mostly distant friends whose sole relationship with me involves the exchange of holiday wishes. [...]
First, below, is a note I sent to Colorado’s junior senator, Michael Bennet, last Thursday. Following my note is the vacuous form letter I received in response.
Dear Senator Bennet,
I realize this note is almost certainly falling on deaf ears, but I’ll try anyway:
I urge you to vote NO in [...]
What special interest groups got paid off in the Democrat-sponsored health care “reform” bills? They include unions, the AARP, the American Medical Association, the state of California, and the state of Louisiana. See:
Health Care BS’s Health reform: Who got paid off? and Michelle Malkin’s The Demcare bribe list.

Rep. Patrick Kennedy was banned from communion for supporting Health Care.
Bishop Tobin of the Diocese of Providence, RI. did the dishonors. It offends me as a Christian and as a human being that the Church would commit Hate Crimes or endorse Hate Crimes like denying people health care on the [...]
The vote is in, and the Reid bill has passed on to debate by a vote of 60 - 39. And we don't even need to write the list, we can name them by memory. Debate will begin following the Thanksgiving break.
I watched the last several hours of discussion, and [...]
Democratic leaders secured the last votes needed to move ahead on historic health care reform legislation, clearing the way for a Saturday night showdown on President Barack Obama's top domestic policy initiative.
In long-awaited speeches, two centrist Democratic senators said they would stand with their party and [...]
FTS takes a critical listen to remarks made by junior U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet on the Senate floor this week. Of particular interest: Bennet's assertion that the bill will actually reduce the federal deficit, a claim made in a recent CBO report that's engineered to Democrats' benefit.
' [...]It appears that things are still on for later today at the Senate.
Question 1: has anyone seen Max Baucus? I don't know that he's back in DC.
Question 2: has anyone seen Robert Byrd?
These should be two "yes" votes, but you have to play to win, and they need to [...]
Harry Reid’s Senate health bill up for a procedural vote on Saturday, which could allow it to move forward to debate. (Yet Republicans are pushing to read the whole thing, which could take 34 hours!) In any case, be wary of how this bill [...]
Huge news for health care reform:
Sen. Ben Nelson announced Friday he will vote for a cloture motion Saturday that clears the way for Senate debate on health care reform.
Nelson, a centrist Democrat who holds one of the key votes required to prevent a Republican filibuster, said the Senate needs to [...]
