As some Republicans promise to go back to the drawing board to draft a new replacement and repeal bill for ObamaCare and others threaten to let the Affordable Care Act crash and burn, there are some hard truths to keep in mind, suggests Michael D. Tanner, senior fellow at the Cato Institute. Health care is […]
The Health Care Industry—Massive and Government Dependent
America still needs to be rescued from ObamaCare, writes Michael F. Cannon, director of health policy studies at the Cato Institute. Congress has a responsibility to do it right, Michael reminds readers. The GOP’s American Health Care Act, weighs in NRO’s Jonah Goldberg, was “an attempt to placate almost everyone and left no one with […]
Terminal Stage IV Cancer in our Health Care System?
Among the noise heard about the huge defeat suffered by President Trump, Paul Ryan and the GOP, Francis Menton gives his perspective: “Third party pay for health care, whether it be government pay (Medicare, Medicaid), or near-universal insurance-company pay for ordinary and routine expenses, or a combination of both, cannot work for the long pull.” […]
Reform ObamaCare to Reduce Government Control and Spending
Is a bipartisan compromise possible for remedying ObamaCare? From listening to the critics of Paul Ryan’s failure to bring forward a vote in the House, you’d think that this is a disaster for Mr. Ryan, the President, and Republicans. But wait, urges Francis Menton of the Manhattan Contrarian. Shouldn’t something as complex as a new […]
Here’s Why Despite Short Term Failure, Obamacare Must be Repealed
Despite the self-engineered failure of Paul Ryan’s Obamcare replacement bill, the GOP must come together to replace the health care legislation one way or another. The GOP has laid out succinctly just how bad the bill has been for the American people, and a repeal is necessary. And the American people have demanded just that; […]
Who Killed the Bill? Not Just the Freedom Caucus
Listening to the media over the last week might have given you the impression that the House Freedom Caucus held virtual veto-power over the House GOP agenda. But the New York Times writes that there were 33 Republicans who wouldn’t move to vote for the bill. Of this group, only 13 were House Freedom Caucus […]
House Vote Set. Freedom Caucus Not Budging. What Happens Next?
The House Freedom Caucus maintains its members will vote against Speaker Paul Ryan’s American Health Care Act in today’s vote. Despite Ryan looking to delay the vote to work on getting more support, President Trump has demanded a vote today, and appears to be getting his way. Paul Ryan has set a vote for today’s […]
How Rolling Back ObamaCare Regulations Would Lower Premiums for All
The tax credits in the American Health Care Act have a major flaw. The amount of financial assistance the program offers stays the same, regardless of what your income is. Whether you make $13,000 a year or $70,000, whether you live in a state with high or low costs, regardless of how the federal government […]
Obamacare and the Heroin of Government Dependency
Dan Mitchell, a Cato Institute scholar and the publisher of International Liberty, created his First Theorem of Government in 2013. The theorem goes: “Above all else, the public sector is a racket for the enrichment of insider, cronies, bureaucrats and interest groups.” Well put and from all available evidence, completely accurate. This month Dan has […]
Old Fashioned Politics at Work—Ugly, Messy, Painful
What we are witnessing in Washington over the repealing and replacing of ObamaCare is not what the media would have you believe—a doomed project marked by “division, disunity, discord, conflict.” Oh yes, it is a mess, writes Kimberley A. Strassel in the WSJ. As the talking heads on cable stations present a “nonstop loop of […]
