This blog post is meant as an antidote to the collective amnesia that is running rampant throughout the country.\u00a0 The disease is particularly acute in The Supreme Court.\u00a0 One might expect this convenient amnesia from the conservative Justices who had already decided their conclusion before the Obamacare law was even challenged.\u00a0 What I find amazing is that among the Progressive Justices and even with the Solicitor General who is supposed to be presenting the case for Obamacare, there seems to be this amnesia.\u00a0 The fact that the newspapers cannot remember what was in their own pages less than 10 years ago does not surprise me at all.\u00a0 So why is a senior citizen with failing memory the only one who seems to remember?<\/p>\n
From the article Newt Gingrich is no conservative<\/strong><\/a> we have the quote:<\/p>\n In 2003, Gingrich stumped hard for President George W. Bush’s prescription drug bill, which has added about $17 trillion to Medicare’s unfunded liabilities. “Every conservative member of Congress should vote for this Medicare bill,” Newt urged.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n From WikiPedia<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n Beginning in 2006, a prescription drug benefit, called Medicare Part D, was made available. Coverage is available only through insurance companies and HMOs and is voluntary.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
