I mentioned the other day a carping call from a Koch Industries spokeswoman about my reference to the billionaire Koch family's involvement in organizations fighting progress on every front, including health care. She promised some followup data to prover their lack of involvement. It never turned up.
Now she can turn' [...]
U.S. Rep. John Boozman has a dog-and-pony show scheduled Sunday evening at Har-Ber High School in Springdale. Republican Sens. John McCain and John Barrasso will talk about health care.
Should be a short discussion. How long does it take to say, "No!"
[...]According to a release from the National Republican Senatorial Committee and shown in the video above, Sen. Blanche Lincoln first voted against a motion to recommit the health care reform bill offered by Sen. Mike Johanns (R-NE) with instructions to restore the $42 million Medicare cuts to home health [...]
The following post may demonstrate why Sen. Harry Reid appears desperate to force the Senate to pass his version of nationalized health care. His polling numbers are in the toilet - again! Like others in positions of power who have proven to be unpopular, Reid is either [...] John Brummett reassures his 79-year-old mother that Democrats aren't out to cut her Medicare. That she'd ask -- and that Democrats have utterly failed at communicating what they are about -- is the story of the moment in the health care debate. Probably the permanent story.
Obama’s message seems only [...]
The Senate reconvened ; and resumed consideration of the Reid substitute amendment to H.R. 3590, the vehicle for Democrats’ health care reform bill. The Senate will vote on an amendment from Sens. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) and one from Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), both concerning health services for [...] 
Another Rasmussen poll, another round of bad numbers for Sen. Blanche Lincoln against any Republican. Arkies don't like the health care legislation either (not that many of them could define it except as defined by interest group advertising.)
Lincoln better start campaigning. And somebody better start effectively pitching the truth' [...]
I know it's an old commercial (old as in a few weeks, so I guess it's not that old, it just isn't as relevant now), but it proves my point from earlier today about Sen. Lincoln's loyalties to the health care industry' [...]
Sen. Lincoln, are you there? Are you listening to what the people want? If so, you would know that according to a new poll conducted by Thomson Reuters, 60% of respondents want a public option as part of a health care [...]
Washington, DC - U.S. Congressman Mike Pence, Chairman of the House Republican Conference, released the following statement today after the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reported that the Senate Democrat health care bill will increase individual insurance premiums by $2,100 or up to 13 percent in 2016:

Host Chris [...]
by Kerby Anderson, Point of View: How much will health care reform cost the American people? You get very different answers depending upon who you ask. The establishment media has been eager to publish the numbers generated by the Democratic proponents of health care reform but [...] James Jefferson rounds up some figures on the bonanza in issue-based TV advertising being experienced by broadcasters as interest groups target Congress on health care, clean air legislation, card check, etc.
KARK, for example, has pulled in $1 million this year, a non-election year, which more than double its political [...]
Be thankful if you do.
I got an e-mail last night from Dr. Ralph Freidin of Lexington, Mass., a primary care doctor who participated in last Saturday's free clinic. He's written an article about his experience. He's seen above in a brief clip taken at the clinic.
What, he asks, is wrong [...]
The pharmacy lobby ads that have overrun the airways hating on Rep. Vic Snyder and Sen. Blanche Lincoln have, I admit, made me consider buying a can of whupass to spray on the grating whine of those cranky old coots saying they won't forget our congresspeople's votes for better health care for [...]
That's the headline on a Newsweek report that attempts to explain why Sen. Blanche Lincoln is such a reluctant vote on health care legislation while representing a state with such enormous needs and, polls show, an electorate favorably disposed toward government intervention depending on how you frame the question.
UA' [...]
We all set breathlessly waiting last Saturday for Sen. Blanche Lincoln to announce her vote on the motion to move the Sen. Reid’s Health Care Bill to the Senate floor. With 59 Senators all lined up to vote for the motion, Sen. Lincoln finally announced in her [...]
by William Warren:I sat down with state Sen. Gilbert Baker this afternoon at his campaign headquarters in Conway. We spent several minutes discussing why he was running for the Senate, his thoughts on the current health care debate, and even got into a bit on the field of Republican primary opponent. [...]
