by Dr. Paul C. Broun (R-GA) Last week, the House voted on a largely symbolic bill that merely nibbled at the edges of the problems caused by Obamacare. The Keep Your Health Plan Act attempted to fix one of the many problems caused by the President’s disastrous healthcare law: the cancellations by insurance companies of […]
Obamacare Then, Affordable Care Act Now. The term “Obamacare” has largely disappeared from the mouths of Democrats as the president’s health care reform law has gone from a rallying cry to a political grenade imploding on them. President Obama once said he liked the phrase ‘Obamacare’ on the 2012 campaign trail, telling supporters, “I do […]
A new and independent analysis of ObamaCare warns of a ticking time bomb, predicting a second wave of 50 million to 100 million insurance policy cancellations next fall — right before the mid-term elections. The next round of cancellations and premium hikes is expected to hit employees, particularly of small businesses. While the administration has […]
As Obama faces unprecedented credibility crisis for making promises he did not keep. Obama’s disastrous health care roll-out has problems far greater than what we have seen so far. So far it better pretty bad, 5 million lost policies and increasing and hardly 100,000 signed up and Obamacare counts people that have not even paid […]
The law that promised health coverage for all has so far stripped 3.5 million Americans of their insurance. Meanwhile, fewer than 27,000 people merely “selected” plans—without necessarily purchasing them—on HealthCare.gov. To date, then, Obamacare keeps creating more coverage losers for every Obamacare “winner.” And many of those “winners” have been dismayed to discover that their […]
Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) (KEVIN DIETSCH/UPI/Newscom) Are lawmakers and their personal staffs “exempt” from Obamacare, as some conservative critics are saying? Well, not exactly. Members of Congress and their staffs must be enrolled in the Obamacare exchange plans effective January 1, 2014. Under Section 1312 (D) of the Affordable Care Act, they can no longer […]
The White House said the Obamacare enrollment numbers would be low. And they were right. Overall, just 106,185 Americans selected a health plan through the Obamacare “Marketplaces” from Oct. 1 through Nov. 2, and they are counting people that have not even paid yet. Federal officials had projected — and hoped for — closer to […]
Conservatives often argue that the federal government should function more like a private business. Obamacare supporters should be grateful it does not, because otherwise HealthCare.gov would almost certainly run afoul of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), as well as of the recently established Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Orson Swindle, who served as an FTC […]
At best, Obama’s proposed healthcare “fix” offers political protection for vulnerable lawmakers. That’s because beyond giving insurance companies permission to continue offering individual healthcare plans that don’t comply with the Affordable Care Act, the president’s fix doesn’t compel anyone to do anything. So why even propose such a fix, and especially a remedy that, according […]
(CNSNews.com) – Fifty-five percent of Americans say they disapprove of President Obama’s signature health care law, up from 47 percent who disapproved of it just a few weeks ago, in late October. Approval numbers also dipped in Gallup’s Nov. 7-10 poll: Only 40 percent said they like the law, down from 44 percent in late […]
