  • GAO: Obamacare implementation behind schedule

    By Philip Klein | 06/19/13 10:15 AM

    Implementation of President Obama’s health care law is running behind schedule and it’s unclear whether federal health insurance exchanges will be up and running on time in October, according to two reports from the Government Accountability Office. The main way Obamacare plans to expand...

  • Frederick Douglass, champion of individual liberty

    By Philip Klein | 06/18/13 07:00 PM

    Despite his many classical liberal positions, some argue he would have embraced an active federal government were he alive today. "Liberty," Frederick Douglass once declared, "is not a device or an experiment, but a law of nature dating back to man's creation."

  • CBO: Senate immigration bill would expand Obamacare

    By Philip Klein | 06/18/13 07:30 PM

    If the Senate immigration bill becomes law, federal health care spending would increase by $112 billion over the next decade as more people take advantage of Medicaid, Medicare and subsidies from President Obama’s health care law, according to the Congressional Budget Office. In a highly...

  • Obamacare’s tariff on hiring American workers still plagues immigration bill

    By Philip Klein | 06/18/13 09:40 AM

    An unnamed staffer for Sen. Marco Rubio has caused the latest stir over the immigration bill by telling the New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza that, “There are American workers who, for lack of a better term, can’t cut it…There shouldn’t be a presumption that every American worker is a star...

  • Obamacare will expand insurance, but what will it do to access?

    By Philip Klein | 06/17/13 08:15 AM

  • Iran’s dangerous ‘moderate’

    By Philip Klein | 06/17/13 12:30 AM

    If you followed the news over the weekend, you would have come away with the impression that the Islamic Republic of Iran just elected a reform-minded moderate leader as president. “Iran: Moderate candidate wins presidential vote,” read USA Today’s headline. The New York Times reported,...

  • 7 of 9 key Syrian rebel fighter groups are Islamist

    By Philip Klein | 06/14/13 01:00 PM

    If you’re like me, you’ve gotten increasingly frustrated with the constant mention of “the rebels” in reports about Syria, without much context about who they are. It reminds me of some 1980s action movie in which generic “rebels” serve as some sort of MacGuffin for the hero to blow...

  • Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer rams through Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion

    By Philip Klein | 06/13/13 05:00 PM

    Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, working with Democrats against members of her own party, rammed through a vast expansion of the Medicaid program under Obamacare through the state legislature, putting federal taxpayers on the hook for billions of dollars in health care spending. Despite claiming to...

  • Important context in the Obamacare 'rate shock' debate

    By Philip Klein | 06/13/13 12:25 PM

    My Thursday column represents my latest offering in the ongoing debate over the “rate shock” expected next year as President Obama’s health care law goes into effect. But it’s important to keep in mind that comparisons between current insurance rates and rates anticipated under Obamacare...

    By Philip Klein | 06/12/13 04:35 PM

    Ohio Department of Insurance officials announced last week that average premiums in the Buckeye state would soar 88 percent once President Obama's health care law kicks in. The news added fuel to an already raging debate over Obamacare's effect on insurance costs. Ohio's insurance department...
