healthcare, News, obamacare, Opinion

When I was pregnant with my second child, in the years following the passage of the Affordable Care Act, I went to the doctor for routine prenatal testing.

On ObamaCare, Trump just dropped the ball

ACA, Donald Trump, News, obamacare, Opinion

One of the biggest unforced errors in pro sports history occurred in 1986, when Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner let a grounder roll between his legs. This 10th inning misstep allowed the Mets to survive and force game seven of that year's World Series.

Hundreds of thousands of people in North Carolina are eligible for Medicaid benefits beginning Friday, almost a decade after ObamaCare let states expand eligibility. 

Advocates say North Carolina's expansion will give much-needed aid to adults who previously earned too much to be eligible for Medicaid but not enough to benefit from federal subsidies to help them afford private health insurance.  

Medicaid coverage includes doctor visits, check-ups, eme...
