ObamaCare Bomb To End Private Insurers Exploded The Other Day

An interesting article over at Forbes from December 2nd, which highlights one of the interesting parts of Obamacare, one that was debated back during the time Obamacare was being pushed over economic policy, but has since been forgotten as people focus on the individual mandate.

Don’t Get Sick In England On The Weekends (The Future Of Obamacare?)

I’ve never really understood the Leftist fetish with government being in charge of health care. Perhaps, as some have suggested, it’s simply the Leftists way of avoiding making tough decisions for themselves. Perhaps it is their longing for a big fascistic government (for everyone else). Who knows what goes on inside the head of a […]

Could A SCOTUS Ruling In Favor Of The Individual Mandate Sink The Tea Party?

Elizabeth Wydra engages in a bit of fantasy over at The Politico, hoping against hope that the voices on the right will be shut down Of all the possible outcomes being tossed around as the Affordable Care Act litigation heads for Supreme Court consideration, one is usually overlooked: If the court upholds the act’s constitutionality […]

Oops! ObamaCare Actually Costs More Than Doing Nothing

Yes, The ObamaCare Mandate Is Still Unconstitutional

And interesting line from the Constitution that I have yet to hear someone argue. The ObamaCare supporters and lawyers have argued that the it is either a tax or covered by the Commerce clause. We’ve already covered the bit about the idiocy of requiring someone to purchase something in order to make it commerce, along […]

Shockingly, Yet Another ObamaCare Provision Raises Costs

Unlike Queen Nancy’s statement that “we’ll have to pass the bill to see what is in it,” we actually knew this little tidbit was in the bill prior to passage, and critics pretty much proclaimed that it would have a negative effect. And, guess what? It has Lawmakers in the House and Senate introduced bipartisan […]
