Yesterday, the White House attempted to portray a report in Health Affairs authored by economists and actuaries from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) as proof that the Democrats’ health care law will bring down costs and reduce spending.  But upon further review, the facts suggest otherwise.  This is the first annual report on national health spending since… Read more

AMERICA'S new health law would bring change, Democrats said, but not too much. In the battle over Obamacare, no matter was more delicate than the fear that Americans would lose their insurance. “If you like your health care plan,” Barack Obama assured a town-hall meeting in 2009, “you can keep your health care plan.” Two years later, the debate continues.

Yesterday, the Washington Post confirmed what many Americans already suspected: Democrats are more focused on electoral politics than working to develop solutions to America’s unsustainable deficit spending.  Here are the facts: Fact:  Unless Congress acts, America will hit its debt limit and possibly default in as little as three weeks.
