ObamaCare Leaves Docs On The Hook For Deadbeats
More incentives not to be a doctor. Tucked inside nearly 11,000 pages of the Affordable Care Act is a little-known provision that doles out three months of free health care to individuals who choose to default on their premiums. People who receive the federal subsidy to be part of Obamacare will be allowed to incur a three-month ... MOREThomas Sowell: An Old 'New' Program
Anything to expand government power. Like so many things that seem new, ObamaCare is in many ways old wine in new bottles. For example, when confronted with the fact that millions of Americans stand to lose their existing medical insurance, as a result of ObamaCare, defenders of ObamaCare say that this is true only when those ... MOREAlyene Senger: ObamaCare's Impact On Doctors
More regulation, oversight and patients. No class of American professionals will be more negatively impacted
by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), commonly
referred to as Obamacare, than physicians. Third-party payment arrangements are already compromising the
independence and integrity of the medical ... MOREWATCHDOG.ORG: Top Hospitals Opt Out Of ObamaCare
Obamacare problems deeper than implementation. Wellpoint and Aetna's decision to not educate the public on its choices doesn't sit well with two experts. "There is no reason to keep that quiet. It's not going to be a good secret for very long when people want to use the plans," Wilensky said. "In many cases, consumers are shopping ... MORERonald Bailey: Five Phony Public Health Scares
Scaremongering sells. Health activists, nutrition nannies, medical paternalists, and just plain old quacks regularly conjure up menaces that are supposedly damaging the health of Americans. Their scares range from the decades-long campaign against fluoridation to worries that saccharin causes cancer to the ongoing hysteria ... MOREKentucky ObamaCare Warning: No Expectation Of Privacy
by Elizabeth Harrington. The Kentucky Obamacare marketplace has no “expectation of privacy,”
warning its prospective customers that their information can be
monitored and shared with government bureaucrats. When clicking “let’s get started” on the state-run health insurance marketplace “kynect,” the user is quickly prompted ... MORESean Riley & Ed Walton: Obama's Privacy Nightmare
Government can't protect your sensitive data. Tuesday marked the first day of open enrollment for the health-insurance exchanges set up by the Affordable Care Act. It didn’t go very well: Would-be health-insurance consumers in at least 47 states encountered technical problems. These so-called glitches, however, mask a ... MOREMichael Connelly: The Horrible Truth About ObamaCare
A Constitutional attorney reads the entire law. Well, I have done it! I have read the entire text of proposed House Bill 3200: The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009. I studied it with particular emphasis from my area of expertise, constitutional law. I was frankly concerned that parts of the proposed law that were being ... MOREUnaware Young People Will Be Biggest ObamaCare Losers
by Scott W. Atlas, M.D. It is a universal truism that the youth will determine our future, and this younger generation has already made its mark. With a massive voter turnout, they played a major role in electing Barack Obama in 2008, when he won two-thirds of the vote among those younger than age 30. And President Obama then capitalized ... MOREHow Obamacare Makes Identity Theft More Likely
by Patrick Morrisey. It seems as if every day brings a new Obamacare disaster—missed deadlines, soaring costs, unintelligible bureaucratic requirements.

A. Barton Hinkle: ObamaCare Buyers' Remorse
GOP should let the president repeal it for them. Maybe congressional Republicans should quit trying to repeal Obamacare and let the president do it for them. Republicans have now held 40 – or is it 41, or 42? better check your watch – votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and are squabbling over the best way to defund it. This is just ... MORE
Reid: Obamacare Just A Step Towards Single-Payer System
by Mark Tapscott. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada said Friday that Obamacare isn't the final word in government health care reform, it's just a big step toward the real solution, which is a single-payer system. The Las Vegas Sun reports that Reid made that statement during an appearance on a Nevada PBS news discussion program: ... MOREDr. Sanjay Gupta: Why I Changed My Mind On Weed
A doctor undertakes to study the issue. Over the last year, I have been working on a new documentary called "Weed." The title "Weed" may sound cavalier, but the content is not. I traveled around the world to interview medical leaders, experts, growers and patients. I spoke candidly to them, asking tough questions. What I found was stunning. ... MOREWashington Times Editorial: The ObamaCare Canaries
Democratic Obamacare defectors hear the music. Thirty-five House Democrats broke party ranks last week to vote for a Republican bill to delay the employer mandate in Obamacare. They’re the canaries in the coal mine, and everyone knows what President Obama thinks of coal. In an earnest act of self-preservation, 21 of those 35 Democrats ... MOREObamaCare Database Worse Than NSA Snooping
by James S. Robbins. Would you trust thousands of low-level Federal bureaucrats and contractors with one-touch access to your private financial and medical information? Under Obamacare you won’t have any choice. As the Obamacare train-wreck begins to gather steam, there is increasing concern in Congress over something called the ... MOREWalter E Williams: Unnecessary Tragedy
Freedom is the solution. Last week a federal judge ordered Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to allow 10-year-old Sarah Murnaghan, who suffers from cystic fibrosis, to be moved to the adult lung transplant list. That gives her a better chance of receiving a potentially lifesaving transplant. Sarah Murnaghan's fate should ... MOREIRS Seizes 60 Million Medical Records Without A Warrant
Think twice about what you tell the doctor. As we are being swamped with evidence of Administration wrongdoing, we should not forget to prioritize the vast amount of information we are getting. It is beyond peradventure of doubt at this time that the IRS, ordered to scrutinize the tea party closely by Democratic leaders, including ... MOREHow Government Killed The Medical Profession
by Jeffrey A. Singer. I am a general surgeon with more than three decades in private clinical practice. And I am fed up. Since the late 1970s, I have witnessed remarkable technological revolutions in medicine, from CT scans to robot-assisted surgery. But I have also watched as medicine slowly evolved into the domain of technicians, bookkeepers, ... MOREShikha Dalmia: How ObamaCare Is Like The Iraq War
America needs an exit strategy for health care law. Not even the most ardent defenders of Obamacare—aka the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act—claim anymore that the law will lower health coverage costs for Americans. How, then, will it achieve universal coverage, its central goal? The short answer is, it won't. ... MORE
