Charles Katebi interviews Senator Kevin Lundberg, Republican of Colorado's 49th District about to sell Medicaid Expansion and Colorado's error.
by Charles Katebi After seeing Wyoming's Hospital Association fight tooth and nail for Obamacare's Medicaid expansion, you'd think Medicaid expansion left hospitals in other states flush with cash. The reality is that Medicaid expansion has significantly cut hospital compensation, resulting in longer wait times and less services for the very patien...
by Charles Katebi For four years, supporters of Medicaid expansion urged our elected representatives to permanently commit Wyoming to this entitlement program. And for the fourth year in a row, Wyoming's Joint Appropriations Committee, or JAC, responded with a resounding "No." Governor Matt Mead and Wyoming's biggest healthcare institutions claimed...
If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free.

However, state directed spending in the economy is nothing more than economic central planning in disguise. To stop the growth in central planning in Wyoming, we must bring the state's ...
What will the environmental effects of the Clean Power Plan (CPP) be? Recall that the stated media driven, post-Kyoto Protocol (to which the US did not subscribe), goalis to reduce the Earth's temperature increase between now and 2100 to less than 2 ℃. The short answer is: zilch. NERA Economic Consulting estimates that CPP by 2030 will reduce the g...
During Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal's visit to Wyoming in November 2015, he discussed his strategy to put Louisiana's fiscal house in order. His basic philosophy of government is that we can grow the American economy or we can grow the government economy, we can't do both. If we want to grow the American economy we must shrink the government eco...
