Article: "Dem Baucus joins GOP in blasting Obama recess appointment"

This Mr. Brewick is the same guy who has been giving speechs about redistribution of wealth through health care. But don't worry, certainly he will not promote rationing!

Recess appointments were designed to fill critical vacencies while Congress is out of session---but not out of session for a week, like the 4th of July Holiday.

Do you suppose Berwick will resign at the end of the present Congress, or that the Democrats will schedule confirmation hearings (if they are still in the majority) at the end of this Congress?

New York Times article: "Britain Plans to Decentralize Health Care"

I have read in this Forum how wonderful some think the British Socialized Medicine system is, and that we should copy it. Over the objections of all Republicans in Congress and against the will of the majority of we the people, the Democrats passed ObamaCare and the president signed it into law.

Apparrently, after years of trying to make it work, the Brits have decided it does not work and are planning to change it. Will we learn from them, or will it be necessary for us to learn the hard lesson on our own?

New York Times (8/04/10): In Missouri, Health Law is Rejected by voters.

Probably does not mean a great deal because Obamacare seems headed for the Supreme Court, and federal law will supercede state law however the court might decide. But it does seem to be a much better gauge of how the voters in the State of Missouri feel about the law than any poll. Other states have similar bills and referandums pending, and this decision will probably give them encouragement as they proceed.

Senator Ron Wyden (D WA) who voted for HCR now asks his State to "opt out"!
