Hold the Applause, Biden Shouldn’t Take an Obamacare Victory Lap
President Joe Biden has finally figured out how to get Americans onto the Obamacare exchanges — by paying them. The administration recently congratulated itself after 2.5 million Americans signed up for plans through the government-run marketplaces during a newly created Special Enrollment Period that closed August 15.

Biden Takes Obamacare From Bad to Worse
The Biden administration just announced a set of new proposals aimed at expanding access to coverage through Obamacare’s health insurance exchanges.

States are better off without Medicaid expansion
Congressional Democrats are debating several ways to offer Medicaid coverage to low-income, able-bodied adults in the 12 states that have refused to expand the program under Obamacare. Spending more federal dollars on the country’s largest entitlement is a bad idea. Medicaid is an unsustainable program that costs a fortune yet ...
