One of the few things we know for sure about Obamacare is that decisions made over the next two years will play a huge role in determining how the law affects ordinary Americans.
Premiums vary widely in Colorado, and could go up in some parts of the state as insurers adjust to market realities. It’s too soon to evaluate the ACA’s affect on premiums.
The House has passed the GOP’s first change to the ACA after their midterm victory, but some conservatives oppose it and a veto waits in the west wing.
Jonathan Chait thinks the ACA is performing swimmingly. It may not be the utter horror show that conservatives predicted, but his case for the law is leaky at best.
Outgoing Iowa Democrat Sen. Tom Harkin, who helped draft the ACA, now thinks the law was a mistake. Even though he claims that single payer is the answer, he does get a few things right.
The GOP leadership wants to hollow out the employer mandate by exempting more workers from it. This tactic is neither “repeal” nor “replace” but something much smarter politically.
A review of 27 opinion polls on the ACA shows a public that likes neither the law nor the campaign to repeal it. That’s prime opportunity for politicians who can stake out some kind of middle ground—no matter how incoherent that position seems to dueling liberals and conservatives.
