By the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board Wall Street Journal, November 29, 2020 ObamaCare returned to the Supreme Court this month and the law seems sure to survive a legal challenge from GOP state attorneys general. That lawsuit has long looked like a futile exercise, and the real question for Republicans is: How many elections […]

By Douglas Holtz-Eakin American Action Forum, November 2, 2020 Health care has proven to be an important issue in the presidential campaign, and the Supreme Court case on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA’s) individual mandate has further raised the issue. For some time, however, there was no conservative alternative to the ACA that […]

By Christopher Briggs New York Post, October 26, 2020 Joe Biden has been running an ad in which he says he can’t imagine what it would be like to have a child with cancer and no health coverage. I don’t have to imagine. Under the health “reform” championed by Biden when he served as President […]

By Elizabeth Wright Citizens Against Government Waste, October 22, 2020 With just two weeks to go before the November 3 elections, Democrats continue to declare at every opportunity that they are fighting to prevent the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), or Obamacare, from being declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.  They claim that […]

By Grace-Marie Turner The Hill, October 16, 2020 Republican candidates across the country are getting pummeled with ads by challengers using an upcoming Supreme Court case as the weapon to frighten millions of Americans into believing they will lose their health care and pre-existing condition protections if the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) is struck down.

By Robert E Moffit, Ph.D. USA Today, October 10, 2020 President Donald Trump’s key debating point on health policy is substantively correct: Former Vice President Joseph Biden’s health proposal would progressively eliminate Americans’ private health insurance and back Americans into a “single payer” system of government-controlled health insurance. No need to take Trump’s word for […]

By Sally Pipes Washington Examiner, October 12, 2020 During last week’s vice presidential debate, Sen. Kamala Harris had a stern warning about the Trump administration’s healthcare agenda: “If you have a preexisting condition, they’re coming for you.” In response, Vice President Mike Pence called Obamacare a “disaster” — and moved on. It was a missed opportunity to […]

By Ed Haislmaier and John Goodman National Review, October 8, 2020 The left’s favorite idea for reforming Obamacare is a government-sponsored plan — a “public option” — that would compete against private insurers. Lawmakers introduced several public option bills earlier this year, and presidential candidate Joe Biden has embraced the concept. Proponents claim that government-sponsored plans will charge lower premiums […]

By Rich Lowry New York Post, October 1, 2020 President Trump has been promising a health-care plan since he started running for president, often with superlative adjectives attached, and yet never produced one. His lack of a proposal was a stumbling block in Tuesday’s debate and plays into a broader, long-standing GOP vulnerability on health care. Polling tends to […]

Wall Street Journal Opinion, September 30, 2020 Joe Biden claimed at Tuesday’s debate that “100 million people who have pre-existing conditions” will lose insurance if the Trump Administration wins an Affordable Care Act case at the Supreme Court.
