Budget Reconciliation Bill’s Healthcare Provisions Are Disastrous
Last week, House Democrats passed the $3.5 trillion budget resolution that their Senate counterparts approved earlier this month. The resolution is merely a framework, though.

Democrats’ Budget Plan Hides a Slow-Moving Healthcare Takeover
Progressives just got one step closer to their dream of socialized health care. In a party-line vote this week, the Democratic House majority ratified a $3.5 trillion budget plan that includes the largest expansion of government-run health care in recent memory. Among other things, the proposal would lower Medicare’s eligibility ...

Obamacare subsidies offer welfare to the wealthy
This week, the House of Representatives will consider the $3.5 trillion budget resolution that passed the Senate earlier this month.

Hold the Applause, Biden Shouldn’t Take an Obamacare Victory Lap

Medicare And Medicaid Turn 56 Today. That’s Not Exactly Cause For Celebration.
Today, Medicare and Medicaid mark their 56th birthday. They were signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson to ensure that seniors and the poor had access to quality, affordable health coverage as part of his Great Society.

Democrats $3.5 Trillion Budget Leaves the Health Care Sector as Broken as Ever
One of the most striking aspects of the $3.5 trillion budget resolution proposed last week by Senate Democrats is how little it does to improve America’s ailing healthcare system. The plan funnels massive sums of money into everything from Medicare and Medicaid to Obamacare’s premium tax credits. But it utterly fails to ...

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. The actual effects of these reforms will be inconsequential at best — and at worst, harmful. The main problem with the online marketplaces is that the plans on offer ...
