The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Pregnancy Is Not a Disease and Contraception Is Not ‘Health Care’

Why, therefore, does Obama want to make insurance coverage for birth control mandatory? Virtually all health insurance plans could soon be required to offer female patients free coverage of prescription birth control, breast-pump rentals, counseling for domestic violence, and annual wellness exams and HIV tests as a result of recommendations released Tuesday by an independent […]

Health Care or Aircraft Carriers?

One of the problems with ObamaCare is that this massive new entitlement program will steadily drain away tax money from the federal budget — including the defense budget, so that the United States can no longer afford to defend its interests abroad. In fact, something similar is already happening to our allies: The British military intervention in Libya is […]

Good News! ObamaCare Helping Insurance Companies Make Record Profit! (And Rick Ungar Rides Again)

Because stuffing profits into the pockets of Corporate America is what the progressive movement is all about, right?

If I’d Known the Drugs Were Gonna Be This Good, I’d Have Gotten Sick Earlier

Sunday night, my wife took me to the emergency room. The pain in my ribs — like a knife every time I coughed — had gotten to the point where even I had to admit that I was really sick. They hooked me up to a saline drip, gave me 4 cc’s of morphine, gave […]

Going to the Hospital
UPDATE: Diagnosed With Pneumonia

Nothing to worry about. At least I hope not. You will recall that I came down with a bad cold in March, when I took my Nyquil and slept for most of two days. Then I got better, before I started suffering with a chest cold that has lingered for about three weeks. My wife and […]
