HEALTH CARE: There’s a Target on Your Back!

March 19th, 2010 · 3 Comments

One year ago today, I published a post in which I reported that President Barack Obama had yielded to public pressure and dropped his plan to charge wounded war veterans for their treatment.  Little did I realize that the president, then still enjoying his “First 100 Daze”, was merely adjusting his sights and taking aim [...]
