Shocked, Shocked: AHIP Caves
By: Benjamin Zycher, Ph.D
3.31.2010

The insurance industry announced today that it would not dispute the Obama administration interpretation of the requirement for insurance "coverage" (subsidies) of children with pre-existing medical conditions. And why should they? The new law transforms the insurers into public utilities, and premiums will have to cover costs plus a fair and reasonable return.

Repeal Means Repeal
By: Jeffrey H. Anderson, Ph.D
3.24.2010

Less than three days after the passage of Obamacare, many Republicans are already losing their stomach for the fight.As Ezra Klein gleefully — but aptly — observes over at the Washington Post, “In about 12 hours, the GOP's position has gone from ‘repeal this socialist monstrosity that will destroy our final freedoms’ to ‘there are some things we don't like about this legislation and would like to repeal, and there are some things we support and would like to keep.’ . . . At this rate, they'll be running on expanding the bill come November.”

The Battle Is Lost, and the War Has Begun
By: Jeffrey H. Anderson, Ph.D

President Obama won a major victory last night in his determined effort to impose his will on the American people. But far from striking a fatal blow to the cause of limited government and fiscal responsibility, Obama has awakened a sleeping giant.

They Still Don’t Have the Votes
By: Jeffrey H. Anderson, Ph.D
3.20.2010

The most likely explanation for the breakdown of talks between Rep. Bart Stupak and Speaker Nancy Pelosi is not that Pelosi decided she didn’t need Stupak and his crew in order to have enough votes to pass Obamacare. Rather, it is that Stupak — who is increasingly emerging as this drama’s Jefferson Smith (Jimmy Stewart’s heroic character in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington) — held firm in insisting on language that would truly prevent taxpayer-funded abortions, and in insisting that such language be passed by the Senate before the bill could become law.

The Hypocrisy and Revisionist History of D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton
By: Vicki E. Murray, Ph.D
3.17.2010

Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) began planning the death of the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program nearly two years ago, proclaiming in June 2008, "I can tell you that the Democratic Congress is not about to extend this program." A vote to extend and expand the program could occur as early as today, thanks to Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) and his bi-partisan coalition of Senators. Now Norton is trying to re-write history.

Single-Payer and Group Coverage Empower Government, Not the People
By: John R. Graham
3.5.2010

I agree with Professor Chaufan that the “reforms” many states embraced to expand coverage with private insurance have failed, but disagree that it is because of a lack of government power. In fact, such reforms massively increase government power. For example, Massachusetts’ latest reform (passed by Governor Romney in 2006) made health insurance mandatory, and heavily subsidized those who could not afford it.
