Leave it to the Daily Signal to complain that health care costs increasing at 5% annually isn’t an improvement over increases that were 50% greater than that prior to Obamacare, or that 2015 Medicare costs increased the most since 2007, prior to President Blackenstein’s term of office.
If only Congress had a GOP majority so that it could enact Tom Price’s superior thoroughly vetted alternative health care improvement plan…..
All of those $6,500 deductible plans are working. Now that people finally have some financial skin in the game, they’re not willing to go to the doctor, so he can run his pen all willy nilly around test order sheets, and doing no good other than running up healthcare costs.
If the insurance industry was serious about driving down healthcare costs, we’d have $150 copays and $35,000 deductibles. Because even with a $6,500 deductible, there are still some people who can afford their temptation to go to the doctor and contribute to the raise in healthcare costs.
Ted Cruz’ ground game is far superior to Trump’s in the only race that matters – actual delegate selection.

Looks like big scandal is breaking against Cruz.
What are you seeing, John? Checked Drudge, didn’t see anything.

I think this is why Cruz went so crazy about the Trump tweets……Now it makes sense.
Ted ‘Tiger’ Cruz has a binder full of gals. This campaign just keeps getting better.
Ted Cruz could get Hillary to defend him the way she defended Bill when he got caught. Hillary is very good at blaming the victim.
During Clinton’s Hummergate era Chris Rock’s routine included a bit about Newt Gingrich not having to worry about a sex scandal. I believe he compared him to the Pillsbury Doughboy. Well guess what? Money and power trump looks every time, at least with certain types of women.
It’s all a moot point anyway. Cruz can’t beat Hillary. Trump can’t beat Hillary.
This is a real smoking gun, no real explanation at this point.
………Another of Cruz’s purported lovers outed by the Internet is Sarah Isgur Flores, who worked for former Republican presidential contender Carly Fiorina. The former Hewlett-Packard CEO briefly challenged Trump for the lead in the race, but she dropped out of the campaign in February.
Last July, a Cruz-affiliated super PAC donated $500,000 to Fiorina’s campaign, without explanation — a highly unusual move that is being reexamined in light of the Enquirer’s report about Cruz’s indiscretions. And Fiorina made a highly publicized last-minute endorsement of Cruz in the final days before the Florida primary, helping him come in a respectable second to Trump and keeping his White House hopes alive.
Trump’s campaign has yet to make official statements about the allegations. The senator, who has been married to Goldman Sachs executive Heidi Cruz for 15 years and has two young children with her, has made his devout Christianity a centerpiece of his campaign……..

This is from US NEWS? Why would the Cruz campaign donate 500k to Fiorina? That is a very legit question!
Similarly, Josh Marshall considers how many white working class voters Trump will pull in the general election who voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012, and concludes, not many.

The folks in Cobb think they can start that bridge in APRIL?
The 7 to 37 day stretch from now April?
On behalf of us who do government approved and funded contracts – HAHAHAHA! There is the legal condemning process, then you have to do legal title transfer and monitory exchange, demo permitting, The actual demo, soil testing on areas concealed prior to demo… that doesn’t even consider law suits, unforseeable concealed conditions, change orders and any required surcharging.
Amidst all the bad news coming from Europe where another terrorist attack resulted in too many deaths and more injuries comes this about our effort to stop the muslim thugs – http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/isis-second-command-haji-imam-killed-raid-defense-officials
Based on past history, getting a #2 usually only serves to open a door for #3 to be promoted. But if we keep knocking off ISIL leaders maybe the replacements will start to wonder about accepting the battlefield promotions. Either way, a salute to the armed forces who continue our battle against terrorists throughout the world. They are the best!
