The rise of the freelance economy
The folks at George Mason U.’s Mercatus Center have come out with a pretty interesting study: Are we becoming a nation of freelancers? Some fear that traditional employment is ending, a phenomenon perhaps driven by the rise of the sharing economy. Others have raised doubts…
O-Care: Top subsidized states are FL, CA, TX and —- NC !!!!!
That’s right. Our license tags advertise us as “First In Flight.” But, thanks to ObamaCare, we are speeding our way toward being “First In Dependence.” Here are the ugly facts: North Carolina’s political leaders may not like the Affordable Care Act, but a large and…
A real-life ObamaCare horror story
We’ve all heard how nightmarish ObamaCare is. It really hit home for me recently — thanks to the bureaucratic hell some good friends of mine are going through. My friends are a young married couple — she’s in her late 20s and he is in his…
TN says Noooooooo to expanding Medicaid. (Gov. Pat, take note.)
Tennessee’s moderate Republican governor has been talking up the idea of expanding Medicaid — which is basically the implementation of ObamaCare. He traveled to DC to talk up the strategy with feds. The TN governor even basked in the approval of the drive-by media. (Sound familiar?) …
Backdoor moves to swell the ranks of the dependent, implement ObamaCare in North Carolina?

N&O, McClatchy misrepresent Medicaid expansion fight. (Um, *Surprise*?????)
Thom Tillis’ switch on Medicaid for poor draws fire Yep. That’s the hysterical headline that Low-T HQ hit us with this AM. *Poor Thom. He’s taking heat from his evil GOP cohorts for actually trying to take care of the poor.* Some of you may…
#ncsen: Tillis says he’s OK with expanding Medicaid
In 2013, the General Assembly took a stand against the implementation of ObamaCare by refusing to accept federal money for expanding Medicaid. Expanding Medicaid is a key component of ObamaCare. In 2014, state House speaker Thom Tillis — now the GOP’s US Senate nominee —…
GOP putting pedal to the metal on O-Care sellout?
It’s arguable that the Republican electoral success in 2010 had its origins in voter anger over the passage of ObamaCare. Republicans won governor seats, state legislative majorities, and a majority in the US House. It was pretty clear what the voters were looking for. Fast…
Boy, this ObamaCare is working out, um, *SWELL*
An $8 billion tax on health insurers is due September 30, and the drive-bys are just starting to realize this ObamaCare ca-ca is going to be an expensive nightmare: […] States and the federal government will spend at least $700 million this year to pay the…
