The Department of Health and Human Services announced a new rule Monday that would force insurance providers to pay for breast removal and other transgender surgeries, including for minors. The proposed rule change by the federal agency concerns Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act, popularly known as Obamacare, a section of the law that prohibits discrimination in health programs based on race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability. In a conference call with reporters, Melanie Fontes Rainer, acting director of the Office for Civil Rights at…

Medicare Savings Should Be Used for Improving Medicare, Not Funding Obamacare

July 21, 2022 Should, funding, used, 'Obamacare', Improving, Savings, Medicare0 comment

Attention, seniors! Here is a simple proposal: Every dime of potential budgetary savings in the Medicare program should first be plowed back into the Medicare program to help ensure its solvency or secondarily be earmarked for debt reduction. Under no circumstances should Medicare be milked as a cash cow for other government programs, whether bulking up Obamacare subsidies, funding “climate change” initiatives, promoting taxpayer funding of abortion, or whatever narrow ideological obsession happens to be captivating congressional “progressives” at the moment. Now get this. In their frenzied attempts to…

When It Comes To Helping Black Kids, Our Leaders Are All Talk, No Action

I am saddened by the state of affairs in our inner cities. Recently, in Washington, D.C., the nation’s capital and the place I call home, several young people, including a 15-year-old and an 18-year-old, were murdered. Their lives cut short, never providing them with the opportunity to realize their God-given potential. The perpetuation of a black society that glorifies violence and drug use, which is often heard in rap music, has been a poison for the black community, particularly young black males. This subculture has attracted boys from a young…

The June inflation numbers are a disaster, coming in at a 40-year high of 9.1%. After the Biden administration’s repeated victory laps crowing about “the fastest-growing economy in the world” and how we’re “stronger economically” than ever, the downward spiral is feeding a growing consensus that President Joe Biden and his Democrats in Congress are actively making things worse. According to official numbers, prices rose 1.3% on the month, which translates to an annualized pace of nearly 17%. Controlling for manipulated housing statistics, the numbers are even worse: 1.7% on…

Protests around the nation continue in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and return the issue of abortion to the American people. On Saturday, feminist organization Women’s March marched their way from a park to the fence in front of the White House, buffeted by rain all the while. The protesters began by gathering at Franklin Square 10 minutes away from the White House. They listened to a series of speeches by protest leaders before eventually leaving the park. Here at Franklin Park about…

The Supreme Court has just finished what will likely go down as one of the most momentous and memorable terms in history. In addition to the court deciding many blockbuster cases from abortion to the limits of the power of the federal bureaucracy, Justice Stephen Breyer retired, now-Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was sworn in to replace him, there was an unprecedented leak of a draft opinion, protesters showed up at justices’ homes in several attempts to intimidate them, and an armed man made a serious threat to one of the…
