Mayo Clinic: The ObamaCare Plan, How Do We Put This, Sucks
Important not only because of the prominence of the institution but because Barack Obama himself cited the Mayo Clinic’s work in the run-up to his infomercial on ABC. I have the oddest feeling that the citations have come to an abrupt ending: In general, the proposals under discussion are not patient focused or results oriented. [...]

Good News: Obama Could Spend $23 trillion to Fix the Economy
