The Destruction of the Health Insurance Industry
What passes for "reform" in Congress would eliminate health insurance firms. Why? Because, we are told, it is immoral for anyone to make a profit providing health insurance. Virtue, in this view, is restricted to those who impose government insurance on everyone...

Obama's Flawed Prescription for Health Care
Should [the ObamaCare bill] pass, the largest new entitlement program since the New Deal will be a reconciliation process and a Presidents signature away from being enacted. This is Congress and President Obamas proposed cure for the ills of our...
