By: Erick Erickson | November 13th, 2013 at 09:41 AM Republicans are walking into a trap and they don’t even realize it. They are about to consider, in the House of Representatives, legislation by Congressman Upton that would allow people to keep their insurance plans. There’s a problem though. It is widely acknowledged that Congressman […]
“The Tonight Show” is a cultural bellwether, so when its studio audience roars its approval at Senator Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) quip that Obamacare is “the biggest job killer in this country,” you know something’s happening across our land. The truth is now gushing out on the President’s signature legislation, which has become a late-night punchline […]
Who counts as an Obamacare enrollee? The Obama administration settles on their own definition to further the propaganda and to hide Obamacares failures so far. The spin on the numbers is a ploy often used by Kim Jong-un in North Korea to further its propaganda to its citizens. Yet more falsifications from the Obama administration, […]
The Wall Street Journal reports that only 40,000 to 50,000 have thus far signed up on the federal website.

Representative Todd Young of Indiana used the Republican party’s weekly address to pass on stories from residents in his state who say their insurance has been cancelled or is becoming more expensive because of the Affordable Care Act. “This is what betrayal looks like. Here you have hard-working people who were repeatedly told not to […]
For newly minted employees of Goldman Sachs, one of the first things they’re instructed on during training is the ephemeral nature of investment banks. Using deal ‘tombstones’ from decades past, established employees ask them to look closely at the list of now-defunct underwriters of long ago deals. The purpose of such an exercise is to […]
NBC’s Chuck Todd scored a huge interview with President Obama Thursday and opened things by immediately drilling down on the president’s relentlessly repeated lie that under ObamaCare you can keep your current insurance plan if you like it. The full interview is even more impressive than the clips that have been going around. Even after […]
ObamaCare is making seniors sick. Elderly New Yorkers are in a panic after getting notices that insurance companies are booting their doctors from the Medicare Advantage program as a result of the shifting medical landscape under ObamaCare.
