Obamacare is not the future of American health care, not so much because of the opposition of its enemies as because of the design flaws imposed on it by its friends.

Under pressure from labor unions, Hillary Clinton is expected to break with the Obama administration and call for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act’s Cadillac Tax.

One of the major effects of the Affordable Care Act has been to reduce competition in the health insurance sector.

The great hope of ACA supporters that regulators would deny premium hikes is looking shaky.

In June, Blue Cross and Blue Shield asked for an average premium hike of roughly 26 percent (on top of this year’s 13.5 percent increase). Now it is saying that number is too low and it will need a 34.6 increase.

As unions line up against an unpopular ACA provision, the debate over Obamacare is nowhere near over.

51 percent of respondents to a new poll on the ACA want to give the law more time to work. Only 34 percent favored full repeal—a number that’s held pretty constant since the law first passed.

Enroll America, a big force for promoting ACA coverage, is shedding staff after losing funding. As enrollment slows, it’s a bad time for ACA supporters to lose the help.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott, a convert to the ACA’s Medicaid expansion, has reversed himself and now opposes the expansion. The debate over the ACA’s future is still alive.

Tax season this year means ACA-induced complexity, fines, and repayments Americans will owe the government. That’s not likely to make people love the law.
