Some union members working for PepsiCo are upset about a sin tax on their health insurance premiums. PepsiCo, like many other companies in the U.S. now charges some categories of workers an additional $50 a month. The trend is a result of expanded political intrusion into the health sector.

As evidenced by the banner at the US Dept. of Health and Human Services, the organization's 'goal' is unconstitutional. (US Govnmt. and taxpayers' image)
Obama’s policies on abortion are as far left as you can get, as noted at Issues2000. Among them:
“On March 30, 2001, Obama was the only Illinois senator who rose to speak against a bill that would have protected babies who survived late term labor-induced abortion. Obama rose to object that if the bill passed, and a nine-month-old fetus survived a late-term labor-induced abortion was deemed to be a person who had a right to live, then the law would ‘forbid abortions to take place.’ Obama further explained the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment does not allow somebody to kill a child, so if the law deemed a child who survived a late-term labor-induced abortion had a right to live, ‘then this would be an anti-abortion statute.’"
Sounds like political doublespeak to me. Late term abortion is a fixed term—nothing flexible about it. I know supporters of abortion rights in some circumstances who are horrified at the prospect of late term abortion. Why are pro-Obama Catholics horrified at Obama's policy now?

Could anyone really watch the CNN debate in Jacksonville on Thursday and overlook the fact that the two strongest performers in the evening’s exchanges were former Sen. Rick Santorum (Penn.) and Rep. Ron Paul (Texas)?
Monday, October 24, 2011 at 4:36PM In 2009 as many as 49,000 Massachusetts residents were fined for either not having health insurance or—this is the thorn on the political rose—not having the right health coverage.

Attorney General Pam Bondi speaks during a cabinet meeting. (Photo from state of Florida)Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a statement on Wednesday about the 26-state challenge to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act commonly called ObamaCare.
Bondi said Florida and the other 25 states filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari asking the US Supreme Court to review the decision of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Bondi said ObamaCare is “an affront on Americans’ individual liberty.” She also said, “Our country urgently needs a final ruling from the US Supreme Court.”
The urgency is real. States and individual employers are scrambling to make sense of a law Democrats didn’t even read before passing.

The Centers for Disease Control provides information about proper washing of vegetables. Meanwhile, the government forgot to tell seniors Medicare will not cover a physical exam if the senior asked for a wellness visit. (Photo from CDC, Image No. 11433; by Cade Martin)Seniors have again been gouged by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Seniors who thought Medicare would pay for an annual physical ended up paying for a visit to the physician because the handbook distributed by the federal government used the wrong word to describe what Medicare would pay for.
Sound confusing? Just wait until the government socializes the whole healthcare sector.
The latest gouging was detailed by one of the biggest promoters of PPACA—the act is commonly called ObamaCare. AARP, the organization many seniors pay to join, praised the Democrats’ healthcare bill.
