Doug Bandow: Obamacare's War On Civil Society
One more gift from big government. Washington offers many opportunities for Schadenfreude, that wonderful German word which means to enjoy the misery of others. The sudden realization of liberal professionals who voted for Barack Obama that they will be forced to spend thousands more on health insurance was one of those ... MOREVictor Davis Hanson: Young People Have Been Had
Hornswoggled by hope and change. There are all sorts of time bombs embedded within Obamacare. Will we force doctors to treat the millions of new Medicaid patients who are signing up for services that can be only partially reimbursed? How exactly will the IRS collect penalties from millions of off-the-books youth who choose not to buy ... MOREPeggy Noonan: The Grinch Who Stole Health Care
You know what I am talking about. This is the year that the Democrats "have blown up the American health-care system." The quote is from Peggy Noonan's qualified approval of the Ryan-Murray copout. You see, back in the golden age of George W. Bush, Democrats were mad as hell. How could the American people be so stupid, ... MORE
The Legacy Of Obama's Health Care Lies
by Peter Suderman. Less than a week before the
October launch of the Affordable Care Act’s health insurance
exchanges, President Obama delivered a speech in Largo, Maryland
explaining how the new health care would work, and what Americans
in different circumstances could expect. “Even before the Affordable Care Act fully takes effect, about
85 ... MOREINVESTORS.COM: Suddenly, It's OK To Talk About Repeal
The repudiation of ObamaCare is underway. Not too long ago, Republicans pushing to kill ObamaCare were called extremists, obsessives and traitors. Now even liberals are discussing the possibility of repeal. We've reached an important turning point. Back in May, nobody batted an eye when Bill Maher blasted the GOP's efforts to repeal ... MOREAnother Insurance Mess Government Has Gotten Us Into
Kathleen Pender on the flood insurance snafu. A complex new federal insurance law is having so many unintended
consequences that some of its original sponsors and backers are now
trying to delay it. It's not the Affordable Care Act. It's the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012. Its goal was to put the National Flood ... MOREEmily Ekins: ObamaCare Derails President's Credibility
Obama now widely seen for who he is. The latest Fox News poll
finds 55 percent of Americans now disapprove of President
Obama’s general job performance and 61 percent specifically
disapprove of his health care handling, the highest numbers since
they first began asking these questions in 2009. Not even during
the IRS or AP ... MOREJacob Sullum: The Name Affordable Care Act Is Bitter Joke
No such thing as free health benefits. For the millions of Americans who are losing health plans they liked as a result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the name of that law is a bitter joke. They do not feel protected, and they often find that the replacement coverage they are forced to buy costs a lot more. ... MOREObamaCare 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 ... MOREWoman Who Championed ObamaCare Loses Her Insurance
How a fool and her health plan were soon parted. President Barack Obama is apologizing to Americans who are losing their current health insurance plans. Millions of people are getting cancellation notices, including about 250,000 Coloradans. For years the president said that those who like their current plan would be able to keep it, ... MOREHow ObamaCare Rips Off The 'Young Healthies'
by Carl Schramm, WSJ. When ObamaCare is under attack, its defenders retreat to several well-worn claims. Among them is a provision that compels insurance companies to allow parents to keep their "children" ages of 21 to 26 on their family policies. Yet this part of the Affordable Care Act was not engineered in response to any ... 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 ... MORERick Moran: One Family's ObamaCare Nightmare
Premiums jump from $333 to $965 a month. There has been conflicting information from supporters and opponents of Obamacare over the last few months about just what is going to happen to premiums under the law. Generally speaking - very generally - most employer based policies will either stay the same or increase ... MORE
