70,000 pages of IRS regulations. Who do you think benefits from all this complexity? Here Cato Institute Senior Fellow Richard Rahn provides some insight. Have you noticed that many government regulations are so complex and vague that it is impossible to know if you are in compliance? Examples are the 70,000-plus pages of Internal Revenue Service regulations […]
Obamacare—the Murphy’s Law of Big Government
Millions have lost their health-care coverage. And the pain hasn’t even started. Just wait. When the business mandate kicks in next year, millions more will find they cannot keep their plans, their premiums, their deductibles, their doctors. Here Peggy Noonan explains how shocked and dismayed Americans are at the dishonest and shamelessly abusive promises from […]
Scott Brown on the New Hampshire Hospital Travesty
Former Massachusetts senator Scott Brown explains here that just 16 of New Hampshire’s 26 hospitals are available on the federal healthcare exchange. Obama and the Democrats passed the job-killing O’Care by simply lying to Americans. Treason is the crime of betraying one’s country. Are we not looking today at perhaps the biggest government betrayal since […]
Obamacare Absolutely Nonfunctional
The White House will only tell us about the number of site visitors, not the number of actual enrollees. Bet they don’t know, right? Three words tell you all you need to know about this Marxist-tinged, job-killing monstrosity. Implode. Collapse. Repeal. Charles Krauthammer fills in the blanks. The White House is using “linguistic sleight of […]
Cato’s Cannon Leads Way in Obamacare Lawsuits
The Cato Institute’s Michael Cannon got out in front of the O’Care train wreck early in the game. Michael is clearly America’s number one expert on the national travesty that is O’Care. Here The New York Times lets the story unfold. The subsidy lawsuits grow out of three years of work by conservative and libertarian […]
Obamacare and Loud Flushing Noises
If you think for one minute that O’Care is gaining traction, you’ll change your mind when you read about this North Carolina navigator’s debacle. It is hard to make up such stuff. How does math of 5,800-to-0 sound to you? Americans do not want O’Care and are not signing up. It is just that simple. […]
Here Comes the Big Oklahoma/Obamacare Suit
Oklahoma is in a good position to pull the rug out from under O’Care. Here Oklahoma’s attorney general tells readers about the IRS coercion that the state is facing and what he is doing about it. Oklahoma is not going to get bullied. That much is clear. As millions of Americans see their health-insurance premiums […]
Obamacare’s Four Tiers Are Scrap Metal Grade
America is in a mighty tailspin, thanks to our incompetent president and a bought and paid for Congress. Here the WSJ explains how Americans must now pay first-class fares for coach-seat-quality health care. Why? Because we have a highly Marxist-influenced president whose goal is first and foremost about social equity and income redistribution. Do you […]
The Folly of O’Care
From the WSJ’s Notable and Quotable: From Friedrich A. Hayek’s lecture “The Pretense of Knowledge” upon accepting the Nobel Prize in economics, Dec. 11, 1974: To act on the belief that we possess the knowledge and the power which enable us to shape the processes of society entirely to our liking, knowledge which in fact […]
Michael Cannon: “Here’s Where Things Get Scary”
Cato Institute’s Michael Cannon is the #1 scholar on understanding the travesty that is Obamacare. Here Mr. Cannon lays bare perhaps O’Care’s most frightening mandate–the Independent Payment Advisory Board. You are not going to believe what you read here. Talk about undemocratic authoritarian control. Yikes. Last week, I explained that the U.S. Senate’s deployment of the “nuclear […]
