    Obamacare Is in Deep Financial Trouble

    John Merline

    Anyone who thinks Obamacare will lower deficits—even though it is raising them in its first decade—is ignoring that seniors won’t quietly acquiesce to having Obamacare siphon ever-more money out of Medicare, as it’s slated to do.

  • Obamacare’s Oligopoly Wave

    Wall Street Journal Editorial Board

    Obamacare was designed to consolidate and centralize power and money—not only in the hands of government, but also its allies—and the fact that it is doing so is a reminder that there is no substitute for repealing it.

    Will GOP Senators Cave on the Medical Device Tax Like the House Did?

    Jeffrey H. Anderson

    Republicans who vote to “fix” Obamacare by selectively repealing parts of it—especially parts opposed by very well-funded business interests—aren’t doing the cause of repeal any favors.

  • A GOP Plan for Life After Obamacare

    Sally C. Pipes

    After acknowledging that Obamacare has failed, leaders in Washington should turn to Chairman Tom Price’s Empowering Patients First Act, which is based largely on the 2017 Project’s Winning Alternative to Obamacare and would expand access to care while lowering costs.

  • Obama Administration Increases Insurer Subsidies

    Seth Chandler

    As Obamacare fails to hit enrollment projections, President Obama is sweetening the pot for his insurance allies, who will now have 100 percent of their losses on claims between $45,000 and $250,000 covered by a de facto tax on most Americans’ health insurance—including employer-based insurance.

    Inside the Battle to Save Africa’s Elephants

    Ingrid Formanek & Nick Thompson

    Why Net Premium Increases Will Often Be Even Larger Than You Think

    Seth Chandler

    Obamacare’s overly complicated subsidy-calculation formula will soon be yielding some unexpected and unappealing results for policy-holders, many of whom will see their costs go up by an even greater percentage than their plan’s premiums.

    ‘Broken Windows’ Policing Is Not Broken

    David W. Murray & John P. Walters

    There were only about one-sixth as many murders in New York City in 2014 as in 1993, yet many liberals—and some conservatives—are pushing to stop the sort of commonsense policing that led to such extraordinary success.

    Don’t Ignore the King Winners

    Phil Kerpen

    If the Court rules that the Obama administration must execute Obamacare as written, more people would be liberated from its coercive individual mandate than would lose a subsidy, while millions more would be freed from its employer mandate that effectively caps their hours at 29 a week.

  • The Rise of Executive Federalism

    Michael S. Greve

    If the United States is to stop sliding toward increased executive lawlessness, it must return to real federalism, with states raising and spending their own money instead of getting funding from the federal government under the guise of federal-state “cooperation.”

    Magna Carta: Eight Centuries of Liberty

    Daniel Hannan

    The 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta is a timely reminder that our constitutional arrangements, with their protections of property rights, are the only real barrier against the sort of coercion by the state that is on the rise in 21st-century America.

    ’Guesswork’ Is Not the Reason Obamacare Premiums Are Rising

    Seth Chandler

    As filings convey, President Obama’s insurance-company allies are hiking premiums because Obamacare’s mandates have attracted an unhealthy mix of people and sent coverage costs’ soaring even more than expected, while insurers’ handouts are phasing out, and Congress stopped the insurer bailout.

    GOP: Still the Party of Law and Order?

    Daniel Horowitz

    As Republicans respond to a legitimate desire to avoid over-criminalization, they risk reversing decades of declining crime rates by overreaching and adopting damaging liberal notions under the guise of “criminal justice reform.”

    No, Obamacare’s Complexity Is Not a Good Thing

    Brian Blake

    One of the many virtues of a well-conceived conservative alternative is that it would replace Obamacare’s byzantine complexity with refreshing simplicity.
