Questioning our local Republican officials for their public endorsement of the AHCA President Obama broke his word not to tax those with incomes under 250K. Republicans are creating a special class of citizens with Adjusted Gross Income under 150K. Both believe the state is the solution to healthcare scarcity. At least Obamacare allowed my family to opt out and address our …
Guest Commentary by Jason Jackson Chief Justice John Roberts is taking a lot of heat from conservatives over his rulings on Obamacare, but amidst these lost legal battles the Chief may actually be laying the ground work for winning a broader war.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2015 The old deadline of February 15, 2015 to enroll was too restrictive. So now, basically, if you pinky swear that you just didn’t know about the IRS penalties for not having a Qualified Health Plan you can sign up as late as April 30th and avoid the penalties. Gosh. What a sincerely caring, generous and forgiving …

Never in the history of people talking about Things They Know Nothing About have we had so many people saying so much about something of which they know so little. Of course we are talking Obama Care. The most astonishing thing to me and others in the Health Insurance business is that the people behind this plan clearly know little …
I took a real vacation and paid only a little attention to the political world and made no attempt to blog. It was worthwhile to re-unite with my oldest son and enjoy some of God’s creation and some good man-made stuff too. Mrs. Daddy and I loved the colder and wetter weather we encountered, not typical of Arizona, we hit …
To see the impact of the health care law’s implosion on political campaigns, look no further than my own 52nd Congressional district here in San Diego. Scott Peters, the incumbent,is expected to face a tough re-election campaign against the well-known Carl DeMaio. (I supported DeMaio for Mayor last year.) While DeMaio has a Republican primary to get past, his high …
Take the Encinitas Transit Survey!!! No doubt some fool consultant, or some clever consultant is promoting this survey and charging the city $$. The problems are that: A) It’s “Opt in” and therefore bereft of any semblance of scientific or statistical validity, and B) It doesn’t prevent anyone from taking it multiple times from the same computer (So I’m told) …

I attended the Anti-Tax Rally today in downtown San Diego held in front of the County Administration Building. Brian Bilbray was clearly the most famous speaker invited. He is in a competitive district, as I have previously discussed. The rally started with doctors in white lab coats speaking about the harm done to health care under the law. Doctor Gary …
I went to the Stand Up for Religious Freedom Rally last Friday in downtown San Diego. I was struck by how impassioned both the speakers and participants were. The President’s policies are uniting people of faith against him. The speakers all spoke of the importance of freedom and conscience to the proper functioning of government. They spoke of the continued …
Thanks to Philip Rivers, his wife, Tiffany, and local attorney Charles LiMandri who spearheaded a $5.2 million capital campaign to purchase the radio station KCEO 1000 AM, San Diego now has a 24 hour Catholic talk radio station. In turn, thanks to KCEO, I learned last week about San Diego’s Rally for Religious Freedom, tomorrow, Friday, March 23, noon at …
No this isn’t an article about whether Obamacare should cover medical pot. If you thought so, I recommend reading up on my blog’s agenda and purpose (links are not to sdrostra.com posts). Today’s U-T reports that a group known as Citizens for Patient Rights plans to introduce a ballot measure that would regulate medical marijuana in the city. The plan …
