"There are a great many obvious reasons to oppose the public option. Perhaps the most neglected reason to oppose it is that the people arguing for the public option aren't telling the truth.... They want to crowd private insurers out of the marketplace altogether, leaving the government as the sole provider of health care, a.k.a. a 'single-payer' system."

Yes, the Public Option is a 'Trojan Horse' to Destroy Private Health...

Recently, there's been renewed interest in reviving the public option. Loosely, the public option is a policy proposal to create a giant...

Last week, Tennessee officials warned the Obamacare exchange in that state is "near collapse" as they were forced to sign off on massive premium increases. Turns out even a big company can't lose $500 million in three years and just take it in stride. (And thank Congress for blocking the Obama Administration's insurance company bailout scheme to paper all this over with more federal debt.)

Tennessee insurance commissioner: Obamacare exchange 'very near collapse'

Commissioner Julie Mix McPeak signed off on hefty premium hikes in an extraordinary bid to keep the program afloat.

It's worth remembering that the Oklahoma Heath Care Authority wanted to push more poor women and children into the Obamacare exchange, which is a disaster. How much of a disaster? This county is the first to have zero providers in the exchange, but probably not the last.

The county Obamacare forgot

With Aetna's exit, residents of Pinal County, Ariz., may be unable to get subsidized health coverage at all next year.

Since when is it a social problem that some people do not qualify for welfare handouts? Great article from the Idaho Freedom Foundation.

Let's make the Medicaid 'gap population' bigger

This month marks the 20th anniversary of federal welfare reform. Such was a bipartisan public policy achievement made possible by the belief that government should not trap people forever in

Who benefits from the massive Obamacare cost overruns? Future taxpayers will face crushing bills while today's big hospitals, big insurance companies, and big federal and state bureaucracies make out like bandits. No, not "like" bandits ... they are worse than thieves, who at least usually admit that they are stealing. "A study last year from economists at Harvard, Dartmouth, and MIT found that Medicaid enrollees value program benefits at only between 20 to 40 cents for each dollar of spending.

Cost of Medicaid expansion far exceeds initial estimates

By Brian Blase Washington experts have been frequently wrong about the Affordable Care Act. They projected far more enrollees in ACA exchanges than materialized. They also projected that the individual insurance market would stabilize in 2016 with robust competition. Instead, the country is grapplin...
