2015: 2015. Mr. Putin's No Good Rotten Year

I have a strong feeling that the tables have turned. Ukraine has a real chance but Russia does not as long as Putin remains at the top of his power vertical. Will 2015 be another year of “anyone but Putin”?

Government Study Finds Obama Care Leaves Thirty Million Uninsured

President Obama promised that the Affordable Care Act aka Obama Care would eradicate the national scandal of tens of millions of Americans, largely poor, without health insurance. A supportive media bombarded a sympathetic American public with woeful accounts of poor mothers and sick children suffering without medical care. The European press derided a barbaric American health-care system that left the poor out in the cold.  A widely-cited Harvard Medical School study found some 45,000 deaths a year caused by the lack of health insurance. If Harvard says so, it must be true.

Surprise and Shock!  According to the government’s own and most authoritative study, Obama Care will leave 30 million Americans uninsured during its first decade. Thirty million is a far cry from the universal coverage the President promised. Another pledge down the drain along with “if you like your doctor, you can keep him. If you like your insurance, you can keep it.” I have not heard the press reminding us of these broken promises.
