Democrats are hyperventilating over a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on April 2, McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi claims the ruling will turn politics into a “money war.” Sorry, that happened a long time ago. For the past two decades, unions have poured massive amounts into super PACs and other legal

It’s hard to know which is worse, the dying or the lying. A bacterial infection called C. diff is the No. 1 hospital-infection killer, according to information released by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on March 26.  It kills more people than dreaded Staph infections, and about as many as AIDS. What

Letter To The Editor            Regarding Ezekiel Emanuel’s “ObamaCare’s Fourth Anniversary-Progress, With Caveats” (op-ed, March 22): Dr. Emanuel applauds the Affordable Care Act (ACA), claiming that “more than five million Americans have selected a private insurance plan on an exchange,” and falsely implying that these five million were uninsured but now have coverage.

In fact, the Obama administration is scrambling to rewrite the law to make that happen.

On March 17, 19 parents who send their children to Success Academy, a Harlem charter school, filed suit in federal court to stop New York Mayor Bill de Blasio from denying them previously arranged space in a public school building. Without space, their children and 173 others will not be able to continue at Success

John Q. Public got his pockets picked last weekend by ObamaCare  bureaucrats. In a sneaky and illegal maneuver after close of business Friday, the Obama administration proposed a new rule increasing bailout protection for insurance companies that sell ObamaCare  exchange plans. The rule –using taxpayer money, of course — is designed to protect the companies

Some people insist ObamaCare is here to stay. Nonsense. President Obama is dismantling it himself, lawlessly hacking off  provisions as they  become unpopular in order to minimize Democratic losses in the fall election. Health reform be damned. Gone is the Washington definition of “essential benefits” that plans must include. Gone is the employer mandate on mid-size

Obamacare is collapsing. Only 10 percent of uninsured Americans who qualify for Obamacare exchange plans are signing up. Even with subsidies to soften the sticker shock, 90 percent of the people these plans were intended to help are saying “no thanks,” according to a survey released last week by management consultants McKinsey & Company. A majority says the plans are
