“Don’t Worry, Your Coverage Will Not Change”

Here’s a timeline on ObamaCare. What is astounding is that the mainstream media still hasn’t reported what is in the works, particularly for seniors who (because they constitute the bulk of the health dollars spent) will be taking it in the throat. In 2011: •Medicare Advantage cuts begin •No longer allowed to use FSA, HSA, [...]

Time To Update The Resume?

It is amazing the amount of disinformation spread by the Obama administration regarding their proposed takeover of the healthcare system. Unfortunately, the American Medical Association (called last month to cancel my membership) is giving cover to Obama by supporting the generalities of the plan. It is not my impression that most physicians agree with the [...]

A Time for New Martyrs?

Those of us in the field of health care may come under additional pressure from this pro-abortion administration and congress. According to the New York Times: WASHINGTON — The Obama administration moved on Friday to undo a last-minute Bush administration rule granting broad protections to health workers who refuse to take part in abortions or [...]

The Rancid Fruit of Futile Care Theory

Here is a story that should send a shiver down the spine of anyone with a beating heart. Futile Care Theory is a medical "ethics" position which states that people with severe, debilitating terminal illnesses should be hastened to the next world if their doctors deem it so.

"Coming Out of The Closet" of Political Correctness

Don’t expect this on the front page of your local paper. But believe it or not, gay sex may be more dangerous than secondhand smoke. A recent statement by a big promoter of certain gay sexual behaviors has "come out of the closet" of political correctness and pointed out what everyone but liberals already know. [...]

The Anti-Life Agenda in Medicine

Fr. Tad Pacholczyk, with a doctorate in neuroscience from Yale and post doc work at Harvard, writes about how certain ideologies continue to integrate themselves into mainstream medical thought. He writes: Recently I came across some published remarks by Professor Richard Sloan of Columbia University dealing with the relationship between medicine and religion. He notes [...]

Wal-Mart Discount Drugs

I’m fairly impressed with the list of medications that Wal-Mart has made available at $4 for a month’s supply. In many cases, the cost is less than the copay that some patients with insurance pay. For all the grumbling about Wal-Mart, they do really allow those on limited incomes to live better lives. Want to [...]

A Parentless World

Parental rights are constantly under attack with politicians and bureaucrats continually seeking to separate children from responsible parents. Take a look at what is happening in the UK: Parents taking their children to the doctor could be asked to let them be seen alone under guidelines issued today. For the first time doctors have been [...]

Moore Canadian Medical Problems

The ever objective Michael Moore and his docu-propaganda file “Sicko” lambastes the US health system as inferior to other countries where socialized medicine prevails. In addition to the laughable contention that the Cuban system is more comprehensive that our system, Moore lavishes praise on the system of our Canadian friends to the north. But wait, [...]

Science and Religion

Here’s a link to an article from Commentary Magazine by Leon Kass, former advisor to President GW Bush and one of my favorite philosophers, regarding the nature of science and its relationship to religion. The substantive limits of science follow from certain fundamental aspects of scientific knowledge and from science’s assumptions about what sorts of [...]
