Healthcare
If It’s Good Enough for Fidel …
… it should be good enough for us.
How many times have we heard from the Left about the marvels of Cuba’s healthcare system? If only we had something so grand in the United States?
Well, Fidel Castro is ailing. Who’s providing Fidel’s care? It sure isn’t the vaunted Cuban system of socialized medicine.
I’m [...]
It’s Official! Democrats to Nominate Most Liberal Candidate Since 1972
Hillary has thrown in the towel and the party of Jefferson and Jackson (both Andrew and Jesse) will nominate Barack Hussein Obama to be their candidate for President!
We should not be complacent. Like our current President who rode into office promoting a “compassionate conservatism” (borrow and spend big government), Obama will attempt to assuage [...]
‘New York Times’ Endorses Clinton, McCain
Perpetuating the stereotype that Florida is a sunnier, kinder and gentler colony of the “Big Apple”, the New York Times has chosen to endorse Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) for the nominations of their respective parties on the eve of the Florida primary. As usual, the opinions of America’s paper of [...]
Is Mike Pretl Going to Be Named An Appeals Court Judge?
Rumors are circulating that Mike Pretl will be Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley’s pick to the regional seat for the Maryland Court of Appeals. While I have not been able to confirm any of this, it is reported that Pretl’s house is up for sale in anticipation of a move to Annapolis.

The Logic of Liberalism
Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley is an example to us all. He is an example of how liberalism / socialism is a failed philosophy that somehow continues to garner support among politicians and the poor fools who put them in office. A current case in point is O’Malley’s desire to expand the Medicaid program [...]
Wiconsin All Set to Secede to Canada
It appears that Wisconsin is ready to secede to Canada and socialize medicine. Q&O Blog reports that will soon insure all of its citizens.
We can only wait and see how long it will take before this little stroll down the socialist path blows up in their faces and we hear cries for the Federal [...]
Is Maryland’s “Free” Money Drying Up?
What will Maryland do if (when) federal Medicaid dollars start to dry up? That is the question posed by Salisbury’s own Marc Kilmer in Tuesday’s “Baltimore Sun“. The federal government is already attempting to recover funds that it claims were used improperly.

Price Controls (and Shortages) Here We Come
Q and O analyzes the proposed new Medicare Part D legislation that requires the government to “negotiate” with pharma. It takes a while, but they do get to the bottom line.
Part D will become like Medicare Part B. The government doesn’t really “negotiate” prices, they dictate them. Of course big pharma can’t [...]
Negotiation … or Coercion?
The new congress wants to “negotiate” with drug companies for Medicare Part D. Common sense, right? It all depends on how you define negotiate.
I’m all in favor of the government negotiating for the the best price. Unfortunately, that’s not what the government does in the case of Medicare. A prime example [...]
The “Stick It to the Taxpayer” Agenda
While we have to be fair and wait until we actually see what the coming legislative session will yield, the Baltimore Sun has provided their wish list of ways for the Maryland legislature to stick it to the taxpayers:

Public Policy on the Shore
MonoBlogue has a great interview with Marc Kilmer of the the Maryland Public Policy Institute. While I disagree with Mr. Kilmer on how (or whether) growth should be regulated, he is obviously a bright young man.
Michael needs to keep this up. He could wind up becoming the Maryland version of QandO (my personal [...]

Free Healthcare
QandO exposes some of the myths behind the Massachusetts healthcare plan. Milton Friedman isn’t even cold in his grave and people are forgetting that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Good politics is about ideas as much as tactics. In Maryland, this is a good place [...]
