Health Reform: End of the American Revolution? by Dr. Lee Kurisko, St. Paul, Minn.: Alethos Press LLC, 2009, 238 pages, hardcover, $29.95.

As patriotic Americans continue to rise up against the coming yoke of ObamaCare, one of the most obvious threats is easily overlooked. That threat comes from the establishment wing of the GOP in the form of possible compromise, alteration, or replacement.

We’ve already had ranking Republicans, such as New Hampshire Senator Judd Gregg (now retired), talk about “restructuring” instead of repeal.

It promises not just to repeal the beast but to “replace the government takeover of health care” with such “common sense solutions” as dramatic federal intervention into the insurance market. Let’s also not forget that some of these same self-proclaimed champions of conservatism were just a few years ago voting to support unconstitutional schemes like Bush’s Medicare Prescription Drug Modernization Act and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program.
