A policy analyst says with or without the public option, the Obama healthcare bill does nothing to lower insurance costs.
Carrie Lukas is the vice president for economic policy with the Independent Women's Forum. She says that according to the Congressional Budget Office, the Obama administration's healthcare bill will add more than $200 billion in new spending and deficits over the next decade. Lukas adds that the bill also includes tax increases for consumers.
Many voters have become outraged over the price and a "public option" in the bill. And in an apparent bow to that pressure, the... MORE

A health policy expert at the Cato Institute believes Jesus' Parable of the Good Samaritan provides insight into why a new government health insurance program is a poor idea.
Michael Cannon, the Cato Institute's director of health policy studies, recently published a blog post on the think tank's website titled "Health Care Reform: What Would Jesus Do?" The post, written by Cannon's father -- a Catholic theologian in Northern Virginia -- took the familiar story in the Book of Luke about a man traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho who "fell among...

A leader in the Southern Baptist Convention says the argument that the world's carbon footprint should be limited by the number of children couples have is faulty and godless.
Researchers at Oregon State University recently published a study arguing that efforts to limit carbon emissions must take into account the impact of reproductive choices. The study, titled "Reproduction and the Carbon Legacies of Individuals," was published in the... MORE

The Australian Senate has defeated its version of "cap-and-trade" legislation.

The bill calls for a 17-percent reduction of industrial carbon emissions to be achieved by creating a carbon market and trading... MORE

I cited his liberal voting record while a member of both the U.S. Senate and the Illinois legislature, not to mention his extreme pro-abortion stand.
