In an article Avik Roy states, “that if the challengers had won, not one word of the law called the “Affordable Care Act” would have been changed.” He said the real change will be if the vote in the upcoming 2016 election puts a republican candidate in office. Then it won’t be SCOTUS calling the shots, but rather elected officials. With the ACA, the law was meant to help those below the poverty line, but it is still unobtainable with the huge premium spikes. The subsidies do help, but the premiums will continue to increase going into 2016. Obamacare is becoming unobtainable for the …

With the passing of the A.C.A. healthcare is often a political issue. This is especially true when following the King Vs. Burwell case where Republicans want the law upended and the Democrats would like it to stay as is. Republicans are having to take a second look at their initial push to have Obamacare struck down due to how this could impact their constituents and the upcoming election. If millions of Americans lose coverage this could be a negative in the eyes of voters. The majority of Republicans in office do not want Americans to have a disruption in service and see the need for …

Last Friday Reuters posted an interesting take on the Supreme Court case King vs. Burwell titled “Healthcare Investors see no real threat from Supreme Court.” In recent weeks healthcare stocks have been rising with the anticipated ruling.

This provides some security to investors knowing that a large amount of Americans will not have any disruption in …

December 21, 2022 / By / All Posts, Health Insurance, In The News

The Galen Institute was founded by Grace-Marie Turner in 1995 to promote a conversation over free-market ideas in the health sector. Grace-Marie wrote earlier this week that Obamacare is working to an extent, but it is still far from affordable for most.
