This afternoon the Texas Public Policy Foundation is hosting a health care luncheon event at the AT&T Conference Center on the UT Campus. The even features John Stossel, ABC News correspondent, 20/20 co-anchor, 19 time Emmy award-winner, and New York Times best-selling author of Give Me A Break & Myths, Lies and Downright Stupidity.

In his most recent TV special “Sick In America,” Stossel examined what is really ailing our current health care system and how healthy competition is the best medicine for true health care reform.

I’ve been invited to attend and blog the event, so I’ll have a full post on this event later this evening.

  2. Don’t forget to ask John if pro wrestling is fake.

  4. You don’t need to ask John if pro wrestling is fake; everyone knows it’s real. The moon shot was fake.

    And JFK was assassinated by the CIA.

    And 9/11 was masterminded by GWB.

    And Nancy Pelosi is a Great American.

    And Van Jones was framed.

    And WJC did not have sex with that woman.

  5. Sometimes I think John Stossel should join FoxNews. He’s too rational for ABC or the others.

    • Actually, he did leave ABC. He has a new show starting on the FOX Business channel. Talking with Stossel today, he said he left ABC because they were limiting him on the stories and topics they would allow him to cover. Instead of attacking Obamacare, they wanted full-press coverage of Michael Jackson.

      He said it was “getting lonely” at ABC, and he wanted to go to FOX where he knew he could cover the stories and topics he wanted to cover.

      • Yes he did, and he wrote an excellent piece on the move at his Townhall blog.
        I’m Moving to Fox!

        My bosses often disagreed with my point of view, but they usually let me air it.

        But it was frustrating. My vision and that of my producers were often not in harmony. Too many stories I thought were important — such as the land theft called eminent domain, or the FDA’s endangering people’s lives by withholding life-saving drugs — were not aired.
        When I pushed, ABC producers often stared at me as if they were thinking, “Why would you want to do that?”

        So after 28 years, it’s time to move on.

        In my new job, I want to dig into the meaning of the words “liberty” and “limited government.” For many years, through Republican and Democratic administrations, we have been losing something vital in America: the commitment to individual liberty and the understanding that as government grows, liberty shrinks.
