What might happen to the best health care in the world under Obamacare
I guess that makes me a risk-taker. I am currently 66 years old, my full SS retirement age, which makes me Social Security and Medicare-eligible. A couple of years ago, I made the decision to reject both SS and Medicare. I am gainfully employed, and expect to be employed for the foreseeable future. I am …
Continue reading Going Hillsdale and AEI-No Social Security or Medicare for Me
You are probably aware that I am a big supporter of Hillsdale College in Michigan. And that one of their main claims to fame is that they do not accept one red cent of government money; that enables them to teach the liberal arts exactly the way those arts should be taught. Hillsdale's refusal …

My brain seems to be a tangle of thoughts, concerns, and emotions, given the momentous rulings handed down by the nine Ivy League lawyers in black robes in Washington, D.C. Over the experience of humanity, for the last 5,000 years of recorded human history, those nine people have in one stroke, deemed that two people …

You are probably aware that I am a big supporter of Hillsdale College in Michigan. And that one of their main claims to fame is that they do not accept one red cent of government money; that enables them to teach the liberal arts exactly the way those arts should be taught. Hillsdale's refusal …
I've had a bunch of dental work done lately. I tried something new, to make the time go faster. I don't know about you, but when the dentist or hygienist is working on me, I close my eyes. I decided to start paying attention to what I see behind my closed lids. First of all, …

A couple of weeks ago, there was a story in the Wall Street Journal entitled "Medical-School Test Gets a Revamp". No kidding! The first paragraph reads (sorry, no link, as this is behind the WSJ paywall): "The essay section is out and sociology is in, and test-takers will need to be as familiar with psychology …

It is said that if the lawsuit currently before the Supreme Court (King vs Burwell) goes against the government, the entire structure of Obamacare will collapse. Have you given this some thought? The complete title of the act that is meant to destroy the world's best medical-care system was called the "Patient Protection and Affordable …

Sigh...Have you noticed lately the increasing rate of government scandals coming to light? I have given it much thought, and it seems to me that, since Obama and his minions took power, nearly every part of the huge (and expanding by leaps and bounds) federal government has been corrupted in some way by the Democrats, …
Last week, Michael Solon wrote an op-ed essay in the Wall Street Journal entitled "What Democrats and the CBO Don't Get".

However, none …

Yes, I do. This post was written a couple of years ago, and updated today in 2015. I will be 66 in April, and I just love tossing all the junk mail telling me about everyone's very best Medicare Advantage or Medi-Gap policy. No serious illnesses, and still at my same employer after seven years. …
