Debunking Some Health Care Myths

An excellent article appeared recently in the American Spectator. Rather than directly targeting what we know — Obama’s plan will dramatically increase federal control over Americans’ health care — the author, Philip Klein targets an even more important topic, what we know but that isn’t so.
Among the myths that hinder opponents of government-run health care [...]

“Lights of Liberty” Recap; David Boaz’s Speech Now Online

If you did not attend the Rio Grande Foundation’s “Lights of Liberty” luncheon, you missed out on a truly amazing event (I’m not saying that because I’m the President of RGF).

The Uninsured and Health Care Reform

New Mexico State Senator Sue Wilson Beffort had an excellent opinion piece in today’s Albuquerque Journal. As Beffort points out, it is useful to note that New Mexico has a whole host of public programs available for the uninsured, that people with pre-existing health conditions are not denied insurance (as reform proponents often claim), and [...]

Mining Needed to Produce “Green Energy”

Our good friend Marita Noon over at the Citizens’ Alliance for Responsible Energy had an excellent op-ed in the Albuquerque Journal recently (you can read it here). The basic point of the article is that even “green” energy sources like wind power require mineral resources from the earth. Unfortunately, environmental zealots, many of whom preach [...]

Health Care Reform: Views on Holland from an Albuquerque Resident of Dutch Descent

Americans are abundantly knowledgeable about the shortcomings of their health care system. On top of this is the drivel from the mainstream media touting the wonders of socialized medicine overseas. Fortunately, there are many Americans who have first-hand experience with foreign medical systems. And, while personal stories vary based on the individual, the importance of [...]

This week’s episode of Speaking Freely online

Jim and I sat down with Albuquerque Dr. Torre Near for an hour-long discussion of health care issues on Saturday. The podcast is available here.
