The CBO has released their score on the potential repeal of Obamacare. According to them millions of people would lose their health insurance and costs for premiums would rise. Democrats are upset that Republicans don't believe the numbers. This is because the numbers do not make logical sense. People have an inherent bullshit detector that... Continue Reading →
For the past couple of days Democrats have been touting a study by the kaiser foundation stating that the Obamacare insurance market has stabilized. The premise of the report is simple.

The debate over euthanasia has been going on for quite a while. On the one hand you have an argument that people should have the right to decide when they want to die and giving up the fight is a personal decision particularly when the fight impacts the quality of the rest of your life....

For my second article in my series introducing the positions of the Alt-right. I will discuss Obamacare and healthcare in general.
