One of the chief Republican arguments against Obamacare has been that the law wouldn't pay for itself. After 5 years, that warning has failed to come true. Now the law's opponents are changing the law to match their predictions.
Replacing Obamacare is catching on, at least among Republican presidential candidates. This would count as progress, except that none of their proposals quite meets the definition of "replacement."
Northwestern University football players can't form a union, the National Labor Relations Board ruled. The players were seeking guaranteed coverage of sports-related medical expenses, among other things.
Eliminating the employer mandate would help dissolve the connection between insurance and employment but would not be without monetary and human costs.
