Will individuals will face higher health insurance premiums next year? Many will, but the bigger problem will be in years two, three and four, because some (maybe most) of the health care plans could go into what actuaries derisively call a health insurance “death spiral.”

Congress has a clear choice: Make complete and permanent the ban on Internet access and multiple or discriminatory taxes online, encouraging broadband access and e-commerce, or turn away from that national priority and allow the pro-tax thugs the chance to loot our digital future.

There's a reason why conservatives believe in letting markets rather than governing elites determine outcomes. That's why it was disappointing to see Texas Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott join the Obama administration in opposing the nearly concluded merger between American Airlines and US Airways.

When the president speaks he may be telling the truth, he may not be, or he may be parsing his words to mislead. It has been his pattern since, well, forever, as John Heilemann and Mark Halperin demonstrate in their excellent book on the 2008 presidential election, Game Change.

The biggest mystery about the Keystone XL pipeline is why its final stage hasn't already been approved by the Obama administration.

President Obama has identified yet another sector of the economy in dire need of government help: higher education.  And it seems he wants to use ObamaCare as the model for improving education quality and lowering cost.  The one teensy-weensy problem is that ObamaCare will do neither.

Oklahoma stands as the last, best hope for defunding President Obama's health care legislation. State Attorney General Scott Pruitt has filed suit against the federal government alleging that the Obama administration plans to violate the clear wording of Obamacare.

The green energy movement is driven by good intentions ... mostly. But it is also riddled with unintended, even ridiculous, consequences that often outweigh the good the movement hopes to achieve.

President Obama says the mandate to have health coverage is essential to making ObamaCare work; but it will be very easy for most of the uninsured to game the penalty and so never be “punished” for not having coverage.

Apparently when President Obama promised, “If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan.  Period,” he was only referring to federal employees and himself. This kind of hypocrisy goes a long way toward explaining why the American people have become so cynical about politics.
