1. Union Sparring in California Gets Even Uglier November 19, 2009 The battle between SEIU and the National Union of Healthcare Workers (NUHW) over organzing home healthcare workers in northern California got even uglier recently with charges filed alleging SEIU organizers intimidated and threatened workers and even told Latino workers they would be deported if they didn't vote for SEIU in a June election between the two unions. SEIU won the election to represent 10,000 home healthcare workers in Fresno, but NUHW is challenging the result in charges filed Nov. 6 with the California Public Employment Relations Board. The charges cite a former SEIU... (read more) Author: Health Insurance

2. U.S. House abandons freedom in rush to enact government-run health care November 19, 2009 The U.S. House of Representatives has abandoned individual freedom in their rush to enact government-run health care. In a historic vote that signals the destruction of individual liberty and free markets, 219 Democrats were joined by one Republican, Congressman Anh ?Joseph? Cao, of Louisiana, to pass H.R. 3962, the so-called ?Affordable Health Care for America Act.? The remaining 176 Republicans were joined by 39 Democrats to oppose the measure in a close 220-215 vote.

3. Markey right to vote against flawed health-care bill November 19, 2009 Like all of you, I'm tired of the health-care reform issue, yet here I am writing about it once again. But the issue is very important. Aside from the medical consequences, it has a profound economic impact and will certainly affect your business. Recently, U.S. Rep. Betsy Markey voted against the 1,990-page Affordable Health Care for America Act (HR 3962), and she was right for doing so. Skeptics point out her vote was a simple political calculation, that her party's leadership released her vote because they had enough to pass the bill. Perhaps, but that's speculation. What is kno...

4. Bartlett votes no on health care bill November 19, 2009 U.S. Rep. Roscoe Bartlett had a lot of people coming up to thank him for his health care vote at veterans events this week. Bartlett, a Frederick Republican, voted Saturday against the "unbelievable Democratic health care bill," as he calls it on his website. It is now up to the Senate to decide if they will pass the House version, or kick a different version back. Bartlett's no vote was expected. In a telephone town hall in August, he was clear in his opposition. I asked Bartlett spokeswoman Lisa Wright if they had gotten any reaction to the vote, and she said the congr...

5. Lieberman Independence Hinders Democrats? Health-Care End Game November 19, 2009 Joseph Lieberman was re-elected to the U.S. Senate as a political independent after Connecticut Democrats snubbed him in 2006.

7. Health Care Reform: Another Victim of US Presidentialism November 19, 2009 The vote by the US House of Representatives on health care reform has been hailed by many as a victory for those many million Americans deprived of any sort of medical coverage. True, there are important, new developments, which Rose Ann DeMoro of the California Nurses Association does a very good job of explaining. Some of these measures were part of Obama?s electoral manifesto during the 2008 campaign. Still, the conceiving of a tax-financed single-payer system, let alone a ?socialized? one, is nowhere in sight. It still sounds bizzarre to people like myself, who live on the other side ...

13. House health care reform bill fails on crucial points November 16, 2009 After months of deliberation, the House voted yesterday on its version of a health care reform bill. Titled the Affordable Health Care for America Act, H.R. 3962 is an expansive bill that contains significant changes and reforms to our health care system. I voted against the bill. My vote against H.R. 3962 was not a rejection of health care reform; it was a rejection of a bill I believe fell short on some of the goals agreed upon by members of both parties and the president. In his address to a joint session of Congress, President Obama correctly stated that the number one problem our h... (read more) Author: Health Insurance

16. Expanding Federal Regulation of Private Student Loans November 16, 2009 In a vote last month that fell for the most part along party lines, the House Financial Services Committee approved the creation of a Consumer Financial Protection Agency, which will expand federal oversight of nonfederal private student loans.

By his own admission, AARP CEO Barry Rand knows his 40 million members are still very much split down the middle in their support. This leaves the President wiping his brow while leaving Rand in the awkward position of posing for the photo-op while crossing his fingers behind his back. The near-finalized bil...
