Refreshingly Frank on Obamacare

Refreshingly Frank on Obamacare

It was a refreshingly frank interview. The Washington Post interviewed U.S. Rep. Tom MacArthur (R-N.J.) after he resigned — ironically on Tuesday, May 23 — as co-chair of the Tuesday Group in a flare-up over Obamacare.

ALERT: Congress Approves National Patient ID

Friday, May 5, 2017 was not a good day. Trump signed into law a ‘National Patient ID’ law (2017 Appropriations, H.R. 244, Public Law 115-31) enacted by Congress. Federal funds are now available to develop a “patient-matching strategy”.

Obamacare Debate Mixes Apples and Oranges

The Beltway is abuzz. Pundits say the GOP ‘replace Obamacare’ bill will harm people with pre-existing conditions. However, the Obamacare ban on pre-existing condition exclusions -- called ‘guaranteed issue’ – is the cause of harm experienced by millions of Americans.

“Re-accommodate” Obamacare

“Re-accommodate” Obamacare

Do you want truth or ear-tickling? For example, on Monday, Politico called Speaker Ryan’s failed American Health Care Act (AHCA) a bill to “repeal Obamacare”... But the truth is, AHCA (“ah-ka”) does not repeal the 2,700-page Affordable Care Act.

If YOU were king or queen, what’s the one thing you’d change in health care? At a town hall meeting, one woman answered: “Why can’t it just be simple?” What do YOU say? Send your answer to info@cchfreedom.org and I’ll share them in a coming eNews.

Americans Clueless about Danger of REAL ID

Americans Clueless about Danger of REAL ID

Americans ignore REAL ID at their peril. In 2005, Congress added REAL ID to a war appropriations bill in the middle of the night without public discussion. REAL ID is an unconstitutional power grab – a National ID card – that eliminates state’s rights and gives the federal government control over all citizen identification, movement, and access to goods and services – but only if state legislators agree to conform.
