Another Malignant ObamaCare Mandate Takes Effect
The full force of ObamaCare’s malignant employer mandate will harm small businesses in 2016. Already delayed twice, the diktat, in force this month, expands to include businesses with 50 or more employees, requiring owners to provide health care to at least 95 percent of their workers and their dependents (up ...

Obamacare Makes Employer-Based System Even Worse
The cost of health insurance is continuing its steady upward climb. According to a new report from the Kaiser Family Foundation, the average annual premium for employer-sponsored insurance reached $17,545 this year — an almost $4,000 uptick since 2010, when Obamacare became law. Many workers may not have felt the ...

Here’s how to create a better health policy than Obamacare
One in 2 Americans now opposes Obamacare. It’s not hard to see why. Premiums will increase this year by an average of 7.5 percent for the law’s midlevel “silver” plans. More than half of Obamacare’s nonprofit insurance co-ops have failed, forcing 740,000 people to find new, often more expensive insurance. ...

The Way Out Of Obamacare
Republicans just took an unprecedented step toward repealing and replacing Obamacare. Last week, the GOP-led Congress passed a bill that would gut President Obama’s deeply unpopular health law.

Obamacare: A never-ending money pit
UnitedHealth — the largest insurance company in the country — recently announced that it might quit Obamacare’s healthcare exchanges in 2017. The CEO of another major insurer, Cigna, just made clear that his company hasn’t yet decided if it’ll stick around. That’s what losing hundreds of millions of dollars on ...

Socialized medicine a global failure
Single-payer health care is back in the news. Activists in Colorado just secured enough signatures to put single-payer on the state ballot next fall. Last month, a state legislator from Philadelphia introduced legislation that would, if passed, install single-payer in Pennsylvania. And then there’s Democratic presidential hopeful U.S. Sen. Bernie ...

Obamacare Bloats U.S. Healthcare System
Last month, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, a developed-country think tank, released its latest estimates of how much the rich world spends on health care. Yet again, the United States took the top spot. Our nation spends $8,713 per person on health care — more than double the ...

Clinton would drive up health care costs
Five years and nine months after its passage, the federal government has issued more than 10,000 pages of regulations related to the implementation of Obamacare.
