Time's Mark Halperin acknowledged in a recent interview that Sarah Palin was right about Obamacare leading to rationing and "death panels." Halperin said, "It's built into the plan. It's not like a guess or like a judgment. That's going to be part of how costs are controlled." 

Obamacare strikes again: Another cancer victim has lost her health insurance coverage BECAUSE OF OBAMACARE.

Obamacare is killing jobs at top U.S. hospitals. The Cleveland Clinic reports that Obamacare is forcing it to cut more than $100 million from its budget.

The December 1st re-launch of Healthcare.gov is just days away. Attempting to head off another round of bad press, an administration spokesman admitted yesterday, "The system will not work perfectly on Dec. 1," adding that users will face "periods of suboptimal performance."

Concerns about the site are so bad that the administration, according to one report, "has opened the door for Americans to circumvent the site altogether."
