Employer Viability At Stake in ACA Lawsuit

eNews Commentary • August 01, 2013

Obamacare tremors are getting stronger. The latest poll shows 53% of voters view the law unfavorably. This is an all-time high level of opposition. Please donate today to our efforts to build the CCHF refuse2enroll campaign! Already, we’ve got the liberal Mother Jones magazine and other publications, like MedCity News, the Miami Herald and the Sacramento Bee talking about it!

Bipartisan Attempt to Control Your Doctor

eNews Commentary • July 25, 2013

Who will control your doctor? Yesterday the U.S. Energy and Commerce House health subcommittee voted to pass a version of the bipartisan 70-page draft “SGR repeal” bill that will change the way Medicare pays your doctor and other clinicians. The bill repeals a longstanding contentious system of yearly payment cuts under a law called the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) -- but then it puts government in charge of doctors.

Labor Unions in Panic over Obamacare

eNews Commentary • July 18, 2013

The union bosses are not happy about Obamacare. Last week, the leaders of three major U.S. unions, including James P. Hoffa of the Teamsters, sent a scathing open letter to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, Democratic leaders in Congress. They warn that if the law does not change, Obamacare will “destroy the very health and wellbeing of our members along with millions of other hardworking Americans.”

Obama’s Dangerous Delay

eNews Commentary • July 11, 2013

Obama’s delay is dangerous to freedom. On July 2, at 6:00 p.m. just before the Independence Day holiday, the administration quietly stated in a blog post (of all things!) that the Obamacare employer mandate would be delayed by one year, until January 1, 2015. The U.S. Treasury put out a separate blog post. There was no press release. This understated process was meant to make the delay look like “no big deal.” But it is.

The Blitz Begins

eNews Commentary • June 27, 2013

The Obamacare blitz has begun. There are just 96 days until Obamacare kicks off on October 1 with open enrollment into Obamacare through the government’s health exchanges. The exchanges are the heart and soul of Obamacare. If the exchanges fail, Obamacare fails:

Who is More Heartless?

eNews Commentary • June 20, 2013

Do you have a heart or a brain? You’ve heard it said, “If you’re not a liberal at twenty you have no heart. If you’re not a conservative at forty you have no brain.” Apparently a version of this statement was first uttered by a mid-nineteenth century French historian and statesman, François Guizot. I thought Winston Churchill said it, but even the Churchill Centre says there’s no record of such.

The Obamacare Surveillance System

eNews Commentary • June 13, 2013

There is an Obamacare surveillance system. Surveillance is national news today...except in health care. That needs to change. The National Security Administration (NSA) is not the only agency spying on citizens without their consent or knowledge. And the problem is going to get worse under the federal reform law, empowering the IRS in ways we've never seen before.

Deadly Weaknesses of Obamacare

eNews Commentary • June 06, 2013

Imagine the end of Obamacare. It is more than possible. The law has an Achilles’ heel of mammoth proportions. I looked up the meaning of the term “Achilles’ heel”: “An Achilles’ heel is a deadly weakness in spite of overall strength, that can actually or potentially lead to downfall.” Let those words, “deadly weakness” and “lead to downfall” settle with hope over your mental synapses.

Three Falsehoods Refuted

eNews Commentary • May 31, 2013

The health care reform debate is littered with false statements. Truth is hard to come by. However, several recent news stories counter a whole series of mistruths and half-truths. Here are just three falsehoods -- there are many more, including one countered in our news release below -- and the new facts and findings that counter the false claims:

Employers Find Huge ACA Loophole

eNews Commentary • May 23, 2013

Employers have found an Obamacare loophole. According to ACA regulations, "minimum essential coverage" with a robust and rich set of benefits is required only for plans offered to individuals and small businesses with less than 50 employees.
