Obamacare, which could have been killed off last summer, were it not for the saving vote of Sen. John McCain of Arizona, is continuing its living-death death spiral and taking its unwilling consumers down for the ride. Insurance premiums under Obama’s Affordable Care Act are set to jump 15% in 2018 according to projections from the Congressional […]

Priorities: GOP Works Tirelessly to Help Illegal Aliens as Obamacare Premiums Spike 15 Percent
September 18, 2017 by
In early 2010, after a bunch of procedural gimmicks, a rigged Congressional Budget Office report, and Barry’s Lie of the Year allowed Obamacare to become law, the Republican Party went on a righteous repeal crusade. “Just give use the House of Representatives, and we will kill Obamacare,” they told us. So, in 2010, after a […]
Flashback: That Time Bernie Sanders Said Medicaid-For-All Would Bankrupt The Country
September 16, 2017 by
So, we all know Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is really, really into universal health care. He’s your run-of-the-mill democratic socialist.

No, Obamacare’s Rising Rates and Evaporating Access Are Not Trump’s Fault
August 23, 2017 by
I’ve written about this issue a few times now, but the Left’s spin about Democrats’ terrible, deteriorating healthcare law — which Republicans have failed to replace, in spite of endless promises — is misleading and not credible. As the story now goes, the reason why Obamacare premiums are soaring by double digits across most of […]

It’s Failing: Repeal May Have Stalled, But Obamacare is Still Falling Apart
August 5, 2017 by
Republicans on Capitol Hill are split on what, if any, steps should be taken to revive the Obamacare ‘repeal and replace’ push.

5 Reasons Obamacare Is Still In Trouble
July 30, 2017 by
Don’t celebrate yet, Democrats.

The 7 Republican Obamacare Judases in The Senate
July 30, 2017 by
The Democrat Party has run into trouble largely because it became way too radically liberal, way too fast.

However, the Republican Party has almost […]

RIP, Charlie Gard, and thank you
July 29, 2017 by
Unfortunately, Charlie Gard has died. Normally, we lament the loss of a baby by saying things like, “It’s so unfair that he never had the chance to accomplish anything or live a meaningful human life.” Not so in this case.
