In a weekend appearance on Las Vegas PBS’s “Vegas Week in Review,” Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nevada, not only admitted that ObamaCare is designed to fail; but he also admitted that the law is one step toward a single-payer health care system. This admission should be added to the growing pile of ObamaCare’s broken promises. Just as many of the law’s...

The Daily Caller reports: Reports indicate President Obama will soon confirm what many of us have long suspected, that Congress wants and will soon have a waiver from Obamacare. Read more…

Another union has lost its enthusiasm for ObamaCare – or at least for one major feature of the federalized health insurance scheme. The National Treasury Employees Union, or NTEU, is encouraging its members to write their congressmen in opposition to HR 1780, a bill that would have federal government workers use health insurance exchanges to buy health insurance....

If you’re not already disgusted by the budget implementation bill that passed today (shrubbery, Amtrak, grant unaccountability), try this on for size. The General Assembly hid ObamaCare-related Medicaid spending so that it doesn’t show up in the General Revenue Fund budget.
