In his most recent column for Townhall, Paul Hsieh examines one of the most important questions raised by ObamaCare. He begins with the following hypothetical:
Suppose you move to Las Vegas, and you hire a real estate agent to help you buy a house. She returns with several inappropriate choices—all too expensive and too far from your […]

HSIEH: WHO WILL YOUR DOCTOR WORK FOR UNDER OBAMACARE?
VIDEO: THE JUSTICE WHO KNEW TOO MUCH
Last July, I wrote a column for the American Spectator about Elena Kagan’s conflict of interest where ObamaCare is concerned. Since then, more damning information has come out about her involvement in preparing the legal defense of PPACA. In this video, Michael Ostrolenk interviews Carrie Severino, Policy Director of the Judicial Crisis Network, about their new report: […]
HHS CAVES ON OBAMACARE: STATES WILL DECIDE THE DEFINITION OF “ESSENTIAL CARE”
ObamaCare mandates that everyone will have access to “minimum essential coverage.” Most assumed this nebulous term would be defined by D.C. bureaucrats, but the Obama administration has decided to leave that up to the states.
In a major surprise on the politically charged new health care law, the Obama administration said Friday that it would not define a single uniform […]
CHART: HOW OBAMACARE KILLS JOBS
This chart from the Heritage Foundation says it all. It makes hiring full-time workers more expensive:

DEBATE VIDEO: ROMNEY & GINGRICH DEFEND THEIR SUPPORT OF INSURANCE MANDATES
In tonight’s GOP debate, Perry called out Mitt and Newt on their support for insurance mandates. Romney defended his position based on the 10th Amendment and Newt defended his support on the fact that many conservatives proposed it in the 1990’s as an alternative to HillaryCare:

NEW OCARE SURPRISE: HHS REGULATION MAY ELIMINATE LOW-COST HEALTH PLANS
David Hogberg at Investor’s Business Daily reports another unpleasant ObamaCare surprise:
A new Obama administration rule could drive out of the market the low-cost, high deductible plans that are supposed to be available under ObamaCare.
Obama’s bureaucrats have been creative with PPACA’s MLR rules:
High-deductible plans, sometimes coupled with a tax-free health savings account to help pay for […]
ECONOMIC ILLITERACY HAS CONSEQUENCES
In today’s American Spectator, I discuss the breathtaking illiteracy about economics that pervades the Democratic Party:
The Secretary of Labor, Hilda Solis, visited Capitol Hill last week and claimed that the unemployment rate will increase if Congress fails to extend the eligibility period for federal unemployment benefits. My first reaction to this Orwellian assertion was a […]
WOLF: BYE BYE BERWICK
Perhaps I’m mistaken, but reading his latest column for the Washington Times, I’m getting the feeling that Milton Wolf considers ObamaCare to be something of a liability for the Democrats:
Obamacare is the Kryptonite of American politics: Not even Superman himself could survive touching this truly terrible law … Obamacare is the albatross Democrats have hung around their own […]
NEWT’S HEALTH PROBLEMS
In today’s American Spectator, I discuss Gingrich’s foot-in-mouth disease as it relates to health care. He has been on the wrong side of every important reform controversy. He has even praised the egregious Donald Berwick:
Don Berwick at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement has worked for years to spread the word that the same systematic approach to quality control […]
BERWICK BITES THE DUST
Well, I guess we can all give thanks tomorrow that Dr. Donald Berwick, President Obama’s recess-appointed Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, has resigned:
The embattled acting director of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Donald Berwick, will step down from his post on Dec. 2 after Republicans succeeded in blocking his […]
