The House just passed a long-needed health care price transparency measure

December 13, 2023December 13, 2023 healthcare, News, obamacare, Opinion

On ObamaCare, Trump just dropped the ball

December 11, 2023December 11, 2023 ACA, Donald Trump, News, obamacare, Opinion

Former President Trump is having a Bill Buckner moment in his presidential campaign.

NBC’s Kristen Welker pressed DeSantis, the Florida governor, on former President Trump’s vow to repeal and replace ObamaCare — a promise that he failed to keep during his time in the White House.

“Here's what I will do. What I think they're going to need to do is have a plan that wi...
