Will Obamacare “Destroy” the Elderly?
by Ron Woodruff
Our government is aggressively promoting The Affordable Care Act as the way to provide health care for 30 million Americans who currently have no coverage. By implication, many supporters falsely assume that our beloved government is “giving” health care to everyone for free. Sadly, those who live with this assumption are the least inclined to investigate the realities of this grotesque law. The ultimate and total cost of Obamacare to all Americans, individually and collectively, is beyond our ability to predict. Our current government, through some diabolical combination of Continue reading “Will Obamacare “Destroy” the Elderly?”

Obama Care may be alive and well in Texas
Latest word from our delegation in Austin is that Texas joining Obamacare is NOT dead in the legislature. Even some Republicans are pushing to get us in that quagmire. We need to call our delegation to encourage them, and also send word to our conservative friends across the state to stand firm.
Congressman Michael Burgess remains positive that Congress has not had the last word on this issue, so why should Texas jump into the unknown?
Thanks,
