Thursday, March 11th, 2021

Joe Biden promised to “Build Back Better.”  The liberals in Congress just passed the American Recovery Plan.  They set the agenda because Democrats won elections for the House, Senate and the Presidency,.

America is moving forward.  We have some big problems to face, and name calling will not solve them.  Leadership requires correctly identifying real problems, developing solutions to those problems and then implanting the solutions.

Healthcare Peril

Thursday, October 1st, 2020

If we learned anything over the last 7 months, it is that Donald Trump would make a horrible healthcare provider.  Imagine asking him if you had cancer.  Donald would lie to keep you from panicking.  Contrary to the fact that quick treatment could save your life.  Covid 19 has killed more than 200,000 Americans.

Our insurance has a life-time […]

Predicting Supreme Court Healthcare Decision

Wednesday, March 21st, 2012

“Glenn how is the Supreme Court going to rule on the healthcare Individual mandate? Any predictions? If they lose the mandate what happens to the plan? Obviously there are some good points to the plan but do they go back to the drawing board?” Awesome question.  I’m not a lawyer but I love to play […]
