Health Care Horrors Hidden in Stimulus Bill

January 30, 2009 by GregC

The economic stimulus package making its way through Congress is supposed to be a job creation bill.  But do you know what’s hidden inside on the health care front?  Why would this plan give government a stranglehold on the health care arena?  Why would care be rationed and expensive treatments and surgeries simply be refused?  And how is the recent passage of an expansion for children’s health coverage another step in the direction of federal control of health care?  We get answers from Grace-Marie Turner, president of the Galen Institute.  Anyone concerned about their health care or the care of their families needs to hear what’s in this bill.

Fact vs. Fiction on ‘Climate Change’

January 29, 2009 by GregC
