Red Albany: January 2009
http://redalbany.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 29, 2009. Sean Trende has a great article on Governor Paterson's appointment of Representative Kirsten Gillibrand. We should definitely count our blessings because this is about as conservative a Senator as we could have gotten right now. Http:/ www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2009/01/gov paterson gives the gop thr.html. If you're a fan of maps and data, then definitely check out Trende's articles where he teams with fellow RCP resident Jay Cost - author of the must-read HorseRaceBlog.

Red Albany: June 2009
http://redalbany.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 24, 2009. Here’s some background for tonight; it’s the official beginning of the big national healthcare debate. The House is scheduled to vote on Cap and Trade on Friday. First, my liveblogging comment from the excruciating 2nd McCain-Obama town hall debate (I get into these things a little bit):. Obama just said, “Healthcare is a RIGHT”. And the CNN focus group monitor went through the roof with approval from the undecided voters. We are going bankrupt. It’s OVER! 8211; Ayn Rand’s...

Red Albany: February 2009
http://redalbany.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 26, 2009. Another Tax Proposal and a Chicago Tea Party in New York City. In the words of the great philosopher Samuel L. Jackson, “Enough is enough! I’ve had it with these muthafreakin’ taxes in this muthafreakin’ state! Did I mention 25% of the state is on Medicaid. I cannot vouch for what kind of group or movement based on Santelli’s rant will become, but I did join their Facebook group and figured I would pass along the information. Saturday, February 28, 2009. Any able-bodied citiz...

Red Albany: United Healthcare Settlements Part II - A Nationwide Healthcare Database
http://redalbany.blogspot.com/2009/02/united-healthcare-settlements-part-ii.html
Wednesday, February 11, 2009. United Healthcare Settlements Part II - A Nationwide Healthcare Database. I think the better idea is to turn it over to each individual consumer and let him or her make that choice. I trust me a lot more than I trust government or a lot more than I trust the insurance companies. 8211; Mike Huckabee Republican Primary Debate in October 2007. From the UnitedHealth Group release:. The new database will likely not be ready for another few years. By that time, most of the use...

Red Albany: What we're up against
http://redalbany.blogspot.com/2008/11/what-were-up-against.html
Sunday, November 16, 2008. What we're up against. It's been said that "Obstacles are those frightening things you see when you take your eyes off of your goal." I certainly believe that, but at the same time there needs to be a gameplan for the challenges in front of us. I work in the healthcare industry in NY and my boss remarked to me that 25% of New York State's population is on MedicAID. I captialized the last three letters to emphasize: that's the poor one, not the old people one. Higher living cost...

East Village GOP: April 2005
http://petersonfornyc.blogspot.com/2005_04_01_archive.html
What is in a name? I'm a fiscal conservative. I think we need to start getting a grip on city and state finances before we raise the roof on topics that are secondary to what is really important. The old way of doing business is clearly not working and we need to start looking at new ways to improve New York. My focus is on current events, government reform and advocating change from the heart of Alphabet City. Thursday, April 28, 2005. Today's New York Sun. Posted by danielnyc @ 6:17 PM. Firstly, it hel...

Red Albany: United Health Group and the Cost of Healthcare Part I
http://redalbany.blogspot.com/2009/01/united-health-group-and-cost-of.html
Monday, January 26, 2009. United Health Group and the Cost of Healthcare Part I. Gabriel Caine: Do you know the difference between a hustler and a good con-man? Gabriel Caine: A hustler has to get out of town as quick as he can, but a good con-man - he doesn’t have to leave until he wants to. There’s also not a better opportunity for me here in New York to post on the Minnesota blog Truth v Machine. Regarding the industry I work in – employee benefits.

Red Albany: December 2008
http://redalbany.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 31, 2008. Comptroller and former New York State Assemblyman Thomas DiNapoli reviewed Paterson's budget. The result? We're still going to be spending more in 2009-2010 than we did previously in spite of his arbitrary cuts and in spite of all the tax increases to increase revenue. You can read the entire text of the review here. Tuesday, December 30, 2008. NY For Growth - Budget Edition. Here's a message from New Yorkers for Growth which I recently received via email -. Consider this: N...
