Today's case in point: A new requirement that would bury small business in a tsunami of paperwork and that has virtually nothing to do with health care.

More Danger Signs
The White House is trying to spin the new report from Medicare chief actuary Rick Foster as only half bad because it concludes that, while the health overhaul law will cost more, it will cover more -- 23 million people will remain uninsured (instead of 24 million previously estimated).

Blindsided by ObamaCare?
More trickery: If Speaker Pelosi manages to get 216 members of the House of Representatives to walk the plank on Sunday and vote for her health overhaul -- against the overwhelming will of the American people -- President Obama plans to immediately sign the massive 2,700-page bill into law. ObamaCare will be the law of the land, with its $2.4 trillion in new government spending, jobs-killing … [Read more...] about Blindsided by ObamaCare?
