Beware Democrats Wanting to “Work Together”

The people have spoken. The Republicans have won big. President Obama has been repudiated, even if he claims it isn’t so. He said his policies were on the ballot, and Americans said if these are your policies, we don’t want your candidates.

7 Smart Reasons Not to Enroll in Obamacare

ST. PAUL, Minn.—This past year was the biggest test for the Affordable Care Act. And Obamacare failed miserably on many levels.

Protect Your Wallet at Tax Time

ST. PAUL, Minn.—Most Americans wouldn’t dream of planning ahead to ensure that they won’t get a tax refund. But for those who have chosen to go uninsured under the Affordable Care Act, it’s in their best interest to have $0 in tax refunds coming to them for the 2014 tax year.

There is Reason for Optimism

The report is in. Our "Obamacare: Making Repeal a Reality" event got rave reviews. One attendee said it had a "great vibe." She described it as "fun and relaxed and important."

On September 11th, we not only raised funds for our 2015 efforts, we also celebrated CCHF's 20th anniversary with Fox New All-Star Stephen Hayes as keynote speaker. Sprinkling humor throughout his presentation, he shared important insights.

Don’t Drink the EHR Kool-Aid
