Check Out ABQ Journal’s Online Health Care Debate

This week the Albuquerque Journal is holding an online debate over the various health care issues now being debated in Congress. I was asked to participate along with Brian Colón, the Chairman of the Democratic Party of New Mexico, Todd Sandman of Presbyterian Healthcare Services, Dr. Vicki L. Perrigo, and lefty blogger Barbara Wold.

The “Single-Payer ‘Solution’”

I’ll give him credit, John R. Hall, writing in today’s Albuquerque Journal, knows how to push people’s buttons in support of universal health care. His argument goes something like this: Obama supports it, doctors support it, the American people support it. The only ones who don’t support “universal” health care are the big, nasty insurance [...]

A New Mexico-based Academic Gets it Right on Health Care

Professor Allen Parkman is a Professor of Management at University of New Mexico. In a recently-published opinion piece that appeared in the Albuquerque Journal, he explains in simple, clear detail, why health care costs have spiraled out of control over the years. As he puts it with regards to Obama’s proposed reform of our health [...]

“Reform Health Care, but to what end?”

All too often, those who want to increase the amount of regulations and level of government in the health care sector are considered to be “reformers,” a term generally associated with improving on the flaws of a current, broken system. Several recent articles and letters appeared in the West Side edition of the Albuquerque Journal [...]

Words of Wisdom on Health Care

There have been several opinion pieces in the Albuquerque Journal recently on the issue of health care (such as this one from New Mexico Sen. Jeff Bingaman or this one). That is why it was so refreshing to see this article in today’s paper from a doctor who explains why nationalized health care is doomed [...]

Sen. Bingaman: Flaws Need to be Addressed in the US Health System

New Mexico Sen. Jeff Bingaman, the only member of the Senate who will have a seat on both committees that are dealing with President Obama’s health care reform plan (Finance and Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions), had an article in Sunday’s Albuquerque Journal in which he laid out what he sees as some of [...]

The Canadian Health Care Nightmare

Yesterday’s Windsor Star (Canada) had this article about a young man with cancer and his struggle to get treatment. Among other problems, the patient, Mark Hunt, had to travel four hours to Buffalo rather than Detroit which is right across the river from Canada. Notice, of course, that his only treatment options are in the [...]

Turning down the President

I am an avid Pittsburgh Steeler fan. If you know me personally, you are probably know that already. This made this story about the team’s visit to the White House especially interesting. The blogger calls Harrison “sort of a fool” for not visiting Obama with the rest of the team. For his part, Harrison has [...]

Health Care: A pro-life issue, part II

It looks more and more likely every day that Obama will make a serious push this summer and fall for his government-managed health care “reforms.” Recently, I blogged on health care as a pro-life issue. The powerpoint discussion I used during the presentation is now posted online.

Cap and Trade now moving: RGF discusses on air and in newsprint

Federal legislation that would place draconian restrictions on all areas of the U.S. economy through the adoption of “cap-and-trade” legislation is now moving through Congress. The Waxman-Markey legislation would impose a new “cap” on carbon-dioxide emissions. By 2020, the cap would be set at 17 percent below 2005 levels.
I recently wrote about this and other [...]
