Gross Inaccuracies: DEATH PANELS ARE REAL OR SOMETHING!
Local conservative layabout, Gary Gross, has been churning out quite a few posts since the Supreme Court ruled that the Affordable Care Act is, in fact, Constitutional. Any one of those posts could be the subject of another episode of Gross Inaccuracies but who has the time to keep up with a single childless unemployed blogger who lives off the government he loathes. Today’s episode of Gross Inaccuracies concerns the most ludicrous of these most recent posts about how terribly awfully no good it is to now have Romneycare (oops, I mean Obamacare). Gross fawns over an exchange on Fox News between Sarah Palin and the token Democrat on the show about how there really are DEATH PANELS in the Affordable Care Act. Here is … Continue reading

Who Controls The HHS Committee in the MN House? Steve Gottwalt or Mary Franson?
In our last episode, titled ‘The On Again/Off Again Love Affair Of Steve Gottwalt & Obamacare‘ we found Gottwalt trying reclaim health exchanges from Governor Dayton. At the end of that post, I wondered how long Gottwalt would continue to love the Obamacare with the tea party breathing down his neck. Well, this article provides a glimmer of an answer. Of course, he explains, Obamacare is an evil no good very bad thing but this ONE part of Obamacare is maybe sort of not so bad: St. Cloud Republican, Rep. Steve Gottwalt, who chairs the House Health And Human Services Reform Committee went so far as to say that Republicans need to come up with their own kind of exchange. “An exchange as a model … Continue reading

The On Again/Off Again Love Affair Of Steve Gottwalt & OBAMACARE
There was a time in the life of Representative Steve Gottwalt (R) when he had a seething and unadulterated hatred of OBAMACARE and took every opportunity to scream out in opposition. That was, however, before he got into the majority and had no responsibility in actually governing. During the 2011 legislative session, as newly minted HHS Committee Chairperson, Gottwalt came to embrace and love OBAMACARE in the form of health insurance exchanges each state is required to create. It was the perfect opportunity to turn the health exchanges into a strong conservative version of health insurance and to assert our states’ rights. Minnesota wouldn’t be forced into the federal exchange but rather develop its own, probably more effective, version. The problem was that the Gottwalt … Continue reading
