Britains's Government-Run Health Care Predictably Running Out Of Money
Britains's Government-Run Health Care Predictably Running Out Of Money - Investors.com:
"In Decline:
How bad are things in Great Britain's national health care system?
Bad enough that officials are now recruiting cheaper foreign doctors to save money.
According to the Press Trust of India, "Britain's cash-strapped National Health Service is planning to strike up a series of health care deals in India, including inviting Indian doctors to treat patients in the U.K., in a bid to boost its coffers.
"The proposals center around NHS doctors being flown to India to treat patients in a bid to raise cash for British hospitals and less-expensive Indian doctors coming to the U.K. to perform operations."

Hope You Enjoyed Your Summer. Now, It's RINO Season
Hope You Enjoyed Your Summer. Now, It's RINO Season:
RINO: Republican in name only.
You're familiar with the label, right? Some would say the Republican Party is a lost cause, but the truth is, it's not the party's beliefs that are the problem, it's what the party's standard bearers do with the banner.
Let me quote a couple lines right out of the GOP platform:
"The massive federal government is structurally and financially broken. For decades it has been pushed beyond its core functions, increasing spending to unsustainable levels...Three programs-Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security- account for over 40 percent of total spending. While these levels of spending and debt are already harming job creation and growth, projections of future spending growth are nothing short of catastrophic, both economically and socially. And those dire projections do not include the fiscal nightmare of Obamacare, with over $1 trillion in new taxes, multiple mandates, and a crushing price tag."
The assumption here is that the GOP is actually going to DO something about it. But, what did 8 members of the Republican caucus in the Senate do yesterday? They voted with ALL the Democrats for a $1.7 billion increase in state spending through Medicaid expansion (read Obamacare) with money that will come from "Washington."
Washington? Really? No, not really. It's money coming out of your pocket via the nation's capital for a program that will live forever. As Ronald Reagan said:
"Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth."

A Reuters review of lobbying records found that more than 500 companies, business groups, consumer advocates, unions and other organizations weighed in on the Affordable Care Act during the second quarter of this year.
A typical issue in Washington attracts 15 interest groups at any one time, according to research by Beth Leech, a Rutgers University political science professor who has written three books about lobbying. At the height of political debate over the law, just before Congress passed the legislation in March 2010, more than 1,000 stakeholders lobbied on the bill."

California Proposition 187 (1994) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Legal challenges
The constitutionality of Proposition 187 was challenged by several lawsuits. On November 11, 1994, three days after the bill's passage, Federal Judge Matthew Byrne issued a temporary restraining order against institution of the measure, which was filed by State Attorney General Dan Lungren.[19] After Judge Mariana Pfaelzer issued a permanentinjunction of Proposition 187 in December 1994, blocking all provisions except those dealing with higher education and false documents, multiple cases were consolidated and brought before the federal court. In November 1997, Pfaelzer found the law to be unconstitutional on the basis that it infringed on the federal government's exclusive jurisdiction over matters relating to immigration.[20] Pfaelzer also explained that Proposition 187's effect on the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, the Congressional overhaul of the American welfare system, proved that the bill was a "scheme" to regulate immigration:
"California is powerless to enact its own legislative scheme to regulate immigration. It is likewise powerless to enact its own legislative scheme to regulate alien access to public benefits."
Governor Wilson appealed the ruling, which brought the case to the federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. But in 1999, the newly elected Democratic Governor Gray Davis had the case brought before mediation.[21] His administration withdrew the appeal before the courts in July 1999, effectively killing the law.[22]
