Biden touts health care wins, but Bidenomics is driving health care costs higher
In his recent state of the union address, President Biden hailed his health care accomplishments, boasting that this year a record 20 million Americans signed up for health insurance through Affordable Care Act health plans.
What the president failed to mention is that average premiums for these plans have more than doubled since 2014. And average deductibles — the amount you must pay before your insurance kicks in — are up nearly 60 percent.

Biden goes after Trump in strikingly political State of the Union address
President Biden drew a sharp contrast with former President Trump and Republican lawmakers in Thursday’s State of the Union address, using the bully pulpit to harp on issues that will shape the general election campaign and sell voters on his first three years in office.
Biden’s remarks, which lasted just more than an hour, could at times be mistaken for a campaign address. The president did not refer to Trump by name at any point, but he said “my predecessor” 13 time...
Senate GOP divided over how tightly to embrace Trump
Donald Trump’s dominating victories on Super Tuesday cemented his lock on the Republican presidential nomination but Senate GOP leaders are reluctant to fully embrace the former president given his tendency to alienate college educated women and other swing voters.

But McConnell indicated to reporters t...
