Medicare Is Now Unaffordable

“If anyone here tries to cut … Medicare … I will stop you.” That was President Biden’s promise to a joint session of Congress during last week’s State of the Union address. Some may find such tough talk reassuring. But Biden’s refusal to even acknowledge Medicare’s dire fiscal situation — much less chart a course ...

Bane of High Health Care Costs Can Be Traced to Obamacare

About 3 in 4 Americans are at least somewhat worried about their ability to afford health care, according to the KFF Health Tracking Poll February 2024. That concern is at odds with their generally favorable view of the Affordable Care Act, which will mark its 14th birthday on March 23. Nearly 6 in ...

Competition Or Insolvency? Medicare’s Time For Choosing.

America has a spending problem. Last month, the Congressional Budget Office reported that debt held by the public will exceed the entire economic output of the country next year. Within ten years, the debt will reach 116% of GDP—”an amount greater than at any point in the nation’s history,” as the ...

Don’t take away short-term health plans

The Biden administration may soon finalize rules that would deprive many Americans, especially young and healthy ones, of affordable insurance coverage. That will be the consequence of President Joe Biden‘s plan to reverse a 2018 rule promulgated by the Trump administration that allowed low-cost short-term health plans to last up ...

Obamacare coverage might be free. But that’s not good.

There’s a saying that nothing good in life is free. The latest Obamacare enrollment numbers are a case in point. The Biden administration recently announced that a record 21.3 million Americans signed up for Obamacare during this year’s open enrollment period. But many of those enrollees only signed up because they ...

Trump vs. Obamacare — More Market Efficiency, Less Government Bureaucracy

Donald Trump is continuing to make his case for an overhaul of the Affordable Care Act. “We’re going to fight for much better health care than Obamacare. Obamacare is a catastrophe,” he said just before his victory in the Iowa Caucuses in January. He’s right to put healthcare reform at ...

Loss of Medicaid isn’t a crisis. It’s a chance to make coverage better, cheaper

More than 16 million Americans have lost Medicaid coverage in recent months, according to data from the Kaiser Family Foundation. Two million Texans have rolled off Medicaid, newly released state data show. That’s good news, despite what the Biden administration would have us believe. For decades, Medicaid has burdened taxpayers ...

Americans Want Value for Healthcare, Not Another Welfare Plan

Obamacare’s insurance marketplaces are doing a brisk business. According to federal data released last month, a record 21.3 million Americans signed up for an exchange plan during the 2024 open enrollment season. Nearly 5 million were new customers. “Numbers do not lie,” said Chiquita Brooks-LaSure, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid ...

Read the latest on uninsured Americans

There’s more to the uninsured rate than meets the eye

That may seem alarming. But a closer look at the data reveals that many are uninsured by choice. Affordable coverage is available to them. They’ve opted not to take it. And that’s largely the result of bad healthcare policy. Roughly two-thirds of uninsured Americans went without coverage in 2022 because ...

Read how the demand for long-term healthcare will grow

Medicaid should not be for middle class

America is aging. Between now and 2050, the number of people older than 64 will increase by more than half, to 86 million. Nineteen million of those seniors will be older than 84. That means demand for long-term care will grow. Residential care with nursing coverage can cost more than $100,000 ...
