GOP Doesn’t Have a ACA Plan

The history of the development of the Republican alternative to Obamacare since the beginning of the health-care debate, in 2009, has been an endless loop of loud promises that a full plan will be announced soon, followed by quiet admissions that it will not.

A Modest Proposal Post-Obamacare

It looks increasingly like one of President Donald Trump’s first actions will be to end the individual mandate which requires all Americans to have health insurance. Conservative media like Breitbart and the Drudge Report are cheering this as a return to freedom, and it is indeed as we will be free to make our own […]

Woman and Children Face Risks From ACA Repeal

As the new Congress deliberates repeal of the Affordable Care Act, there is much at stake for women and children.
