Op/Ed

IRS Commissioner John Koskinen says that, as far as the IRS is concerned, the First Amendment guarantee of religious freedom is not threatened by the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, which requires states to recognize same-sex marriages. But for how long?

If you ask President Obama how Obamacare is going, he will say awesome, couldn’t be better. But how about asking 367,000 Texans who are having their health insurance coverage eliminated because the insurer lost $400 million on that group in 2014.

Unlike Obamacare, Medicare was bipartisan, targeted and an improvement. It has hit 50 largely unchanged—at least for seniors—from its original form. Obamacare is unlikely to make 10 without significant changes—if it survives at all.

On this 50th anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid, as our nation struggles with its latest effort at health reform, it's a good time to reflect on the programs' successes and failures.

It is legal in the U.S. for medical facilities to be reimbursed for their reasonable costs for harvesting human tissue and organs, but it is illegal to sell them for profit.

"If we can’t repeal Obamacare, the country may be forced into a debate over whether a single-payer system is more efficient than Obamacare, and we may conclude it is," said IPI's Merrill Matthews.

This organization knows something about insurance, and a generous interpretation of its action is that hiring Tavenner is “buying a little insurance.”

As long as government is involved in every aspect of our lives, then there will be a lot of money thrown at campaigns, especially presidential elections. Every time liberals try to stop it, people come up with a way around the restriction.

Turns out President Obama’s prediction about American drivers embracing electric cars was about as accurate as his prediction that Obamacare would lower health insurance premiums.
