A poised and focused Harris seemed to get the better of Trump in numerous exchanges at the debate, which was hosted by ABC News. At times, she baited him into an irritated or peevish tone. Frequently, he was pushed onto the defensive.
ABC’s moderators, David Muir and Linsey Davis, were far more aggressive in fact-checking Trump than their counterparts, CN...

Trump on ObamaCare repeal: ‘I have concepts of a plan’
Former President Trump said during Tuesday night’s debate he was interested in trying to repeal ObamaCare again, but indicated he doesn’t have a plan to replace it.

Trump has railed against the health care law since his first presidential campaign, when many Republicans were issuing calls to “repeal and replace” the law.
Republicans were a sin...

The share of Americans who had health insurance for all or part of the year in 2023 was 92 percent, a slight drop from the 92.1 percent seen in 2022, according to a report from the U.S. Census Bureau released Tuesday.
About 26.4 million Americans — 8 perc...
Affordable Care Act tax credits work despite fraud and should be expanded
A controversial analysis authored by a long-time critic of the Affordable Care Act claims that a policy that expanded and improved Health Insurance Marketplace premium tax credits for 20 million Americans should be discontinued due to fraud. Fraudulent insurance enrollment by some insurance companies and their agents should be — and is being — targeted by the administration and Congress.

Pollster Nate Silver says Vice President Harris missed a major chance to pick up voters in the center when she passed over Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) as her running mate.

If Trump fares poorly, it’s also likely to be the last time the American people get a chance to see the two major candidates lay out their visions for our national future.
There’s one big difference between tomorrow’s match-up and the first presidential debate back in June: this time, Donald Trump w...
