Fact Check: It’s a Lie That the GOP Healthcare Bill Abandons People With Pre-Existing Conditions

Posted on May 6, 2017 by Steve Mac Donald

As we described yesterday, there are some concerning policy elements of the House-passed American Health Care Act, which the Senate would be wise to explore and rectify over the coming weeks. The bill — and that’s all it is at this point: a work in progress — repeals and alters significant portions of the Democratic Party’s failing experiment in “affordability.”  But based on rhetoric from elected Democrats and the Left generally, one might assume that Obamacare was called the “Pre-existing Conditions Coverage Act” (side-stepping the whole “choice and affordability” fairy tale they peddled), and that the Republican bill obliterates those protections.

Posted on May 6, 2017 by Steve Mac Donald

[T]two years ago, I was a seven-month-pregnant widow with one toddler who got a letter two weeks after my husband died, informing me I’d lost my third or fourth health insurance plan since the Affordable Care Act passed. If you’ll remember, the promise was that I could keep my plan if I liked it. I could not.

I predicted what would happen to my family’s insurance, and to much less fortunate people subjected to the exchanges with us, many of whom have seen doubled premiums and tripled deductibles. If you’ll remember, the promise was everyone’s premiums would go down. They did not. More…

What NH Democrats Really Mean When They Claim “Rape Culture” is “Pervasive” at State House

Posted on May 6, 2017 by Steve Mac Donald

According to Democrat State Representative, Debra Altschiller, “… rape culture is pervasive at the State House.”  She defines “rape culture” as “a society or environment whose prevailing social attitudes have the effect of normalizing or trivializing sexual assault and abuse.”  Altschiller claims to “have witnessed this on a weekly basis in Concord.”

Altschiller then provides what she calls “just a few examples.”  These “examples,” even if representative, fall far, far short of demonstrating a “pervasive” “rape culture” that manifests itself  “on a weekly basis.” More…

Henniker Boards Exercising Power They Don’t Have

Posted on May 6, 2017 by Steve Mac Donald

Residents in Henniker, folks the powers that be would refer to as troublemakers, have uncovered yet another potential abuse of power in their town.

The planning board, during site plan reviews, has been stipulating operating hours for local businesses. They are telling private business owners how late they can remain open. But there are no laws or ordinances on the books that empower the planning board to designate hours of operation.  More…
