Health Reform and The Great American Civil War

Twice this week I have read commentaries suggesting that the health care reform has brought us to a state of civil war in the United States. At National Review Online Dennis Prager proclaimed us to be at war. Sunday Michael Graham made a similar suggestion in the…See More

William S Nelson commented on Thomas Trezise's blog post 'Great or Greek?'

Agreed. The problem is that when entitlements are born, people are taught to accept them and that they are not bounded by time. We need to define exactly what a safety net is, and where it lives. And insure that people know if they fall into the…

Thomas Trezise commented on Thomas Trezise's blog post 'Great or Greek?'

To William Nelson: I do not disagree with you. Indeed, I have written on the same point in other blogs. I try to stay grounded in reality though. Entitlements are not going to go away even if I would prefer that they did. So we have to address them…

William S Nelson commented on Thomas Trezise's blog post 'Great or Greek?'

Your position, "..rather than demand that we receive our due, no matter what the cost to our country, we must take the lead and concede that the entitlements must be reduced." neglects the other option: wich is to pay more so that those…

William S Nelson commented on Thomas Trezise's blog post 'A Mandate to Control Your Life'

The key purpose of the insurance mandate is a way to allow the government to become the "payer" for medical services. How many 19 year old college students will be able to afford insurance? Very few, so who pays for them: we do. Ditto…

A Mandate to Control Your Life

My current post at Freedom Correspondent.The health care legislation pushing through the Congress mandates that all citizens must purchase health insurance. The mandate is essential to enable the reduction of insurance costs for higher risk persons, such as those with chronic conditions or the elderly, by forcing the young and healthy, who otherwise might not purchase insurance…See More

William S Nelson commented on Thomas Trezise's blog post 'Political Attention Deficit Disorder'

A define element of the strategy of the administration. It was noted by some in the higher levels of the administration how Clinton's health care reform had failed because the republicans were able to focus on it as the only major piece of…

A best response is the Shakespeare's St. Crispin Day Speech from "Henry V". Honor those who volunteer. And yes, we must never forget. WESTMORELAND. O that we now had here But one ten thousand of those men in England That do no work…

Thomas Trezise commented on Thomas Trezise's blog post '"Saving Freedom" by Senator Jim DeMint'

Actually, DeMint makes a pretty good case that health care is not within the scope of the powers granted to the Federal government. It sounds as though you would enjoy his book.

Reply to Jule. Great minds think alike! I had already added a post at my blog discussing the report. It is an excellent discussion and analysis and commend it to everyone.

Jeff Carlson commented on Thomas Trezise's blog post 'Will A Federal Health Insurance Exchange Set Us Free?'

great posting ... spot on analysis ... I am certain Mr. Obama is ignorant of free market concepts but he has several economic staffers who are not ... thus his assertions are completely disingenuous ... he doesn't get the benefit of the doubt…

Will A Federal Health Insurance Exchange Set Us Free?

From my Blog, Freedom Correspondent, at http://freedomcorrespondent.wordpress.com/The essential purpose of a competitive free market is to match a willing seller of a good or service with a willing purchaser. President Barack Obama maintains that the market for health insurance is not competitive and that the creation of a health insurance exchange accessible by individuals and employers will increase competition. Obama…See More

Great or Greek?

[My recent post at Freedom Correspondent.]

Those of us who are Babyboomers were raised in the shadows of our parents. Our parents lived lives of sacrifice. They came of age during the Depression and many struggled to survive. They stood in the path of totalitarianism and defended and preserved freedom in World…

Space, The Lost Frontier

For those of us of a certain age, we have lived our lives in tune with America in space. We assembled in small elementary school gymansiums and watched the early space launches on small, grainy, black and white televisions and also lauched our own dreams as the rockets ascended. We heard President John F. Kennedy proclaim that “We choose to go to the moon!”, grieved as… Continue
