What is "Obamacare"?
"ObamaCare" is a radical change in health care policy, but many people don't know exactly what it would do. We give an overview here.

Change for the better is under way with Obamacare
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (“Obamacare”) is a major step forward in the improvement of health care and community health status in this country. I speak from the perspective of

National view: States rightly refuse to enable Obamacare
Champions of Obamacare want Americans to believe the president’s re-election ended the battle over the law. It did no such thing. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is heavily dependent on the states for its implementation.

Potential Judicial Activism in the ObamaCare Hearings : Why We Should Be Worried (Editorial)
"Obamacare" is in the balance, and with this Supreme Court, we should be concerned that political ideology will come before constitutionality.

Reader’s view: Media needs to stop using GOP’s ‘Obamacare’
It’s time! It is long overdue. It is long past time the news media discontinued the use of the derogatory term “Obamacare.” It is an invented term created for the single purpose of denigrating the law of the land. A law passed by Congress and signed into law by the president of the United States is the law of the land. It is a term created by an ultra-conservative right to enable it to say, “If you are not against Obamacare you are not a true conservative.”

Reader's view: Obamacare offers many benefits
A few weeks ago I chanced upon a Canadian at the Miller Hill Mall. She told me that Canada’s health care suits her just fine. When I asked her what we have in America, she laughed and told me she thinks when it comes to health care Americans are just plain nuts.

Reader's View: Obamacare violates freedom of conscience
Planned Parenthood, the American Civil Liberties Union and most of the big-moneyed media on TV and in radio, newspapers and magazines, along with their allies in Hollywood and the Obama administration, are terribly dishonest, bigoted and vicious.

Reader's view: Health-care reform is for the good of us all
As a primary-care physician, I celebrate the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).

Two years in: Health reform complex, uncertain
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act may simply be called “Obamacare,” but no one calls it simple.

Reader’s view: Affordable Care Act is a step in right direction
I strongly favor the Affordable Care Act, commonly labeled “Obamacare.” I hope it ultimately leads to single-payer health care for everyone. Widely published opinions, statistics and projections support this view.

National View: Why Chief Justice Roberts upheld the health-care act
It’s the judiciary’s Nixon-to-China: Chief Justice John Roberts joins the liberal wing of the Supreme Court and upholds the constitutionality of Obamacare. How? By pulling off one of the great constitutional finesses of all time.

Reader's view: Health-care law in the best interest of all Americans
With the June 28 decision of the U.S. Supreme Court affirming the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111 - 148), which many call “Obamacare” (with most citizens being totally unaware as to what this bill exactly provides), I respectfully ask News Tribune readers to spend some time to read this historic legislation.

Reader's view: Affordable Care Act will make this a better country
Do you know anyone over 65 who doesn’t appreciate Medicare? Before it went into effect in 1966 there were numerous dire predictions that it would be a wasteful, socialized, big-government boondoggle from Washington. This sounds just like current alarms about the Affordable Care Act, sometimes called Obamacare

Take politics out of health-care reform and make sensible changes
The health-care debate rages on. Soon, the U.S. Supreme Court will make a decision on Obamacare. Letters to the editor and Local View columns in the News Tribune have laid out positions for and against the Patient Protection and Affordability Act. As in any debate there are two sides — with meritorious claims for each.

Reader's view: Facts contradict Cravaack on Medicare and health-care law
I am enrolled in the Medicare program. Passage of the Affordable Health Care Act (AHA or, derisively, “Obamacare”) stabilized my monthly premiums and provided me with increased benefits. I now have access to an annual “wellness exam” which includes covered screening procedures. The focus is on preventive medicine, and I am pleased with what has been achieved.

Local View: Survival of health-care reform still uncertain
Before the Supreme Court ruling on the Affordable Care Act, or ACA, or Obamacare, I hypothesized that any decision would energize both ideological bases. If the law were struck down, liberals could run against the Supreme Court and conservatives would argue that President Obama’s signature piece of legislation was unconstitutional. On the other hand, since the law has been upheld, liberals can rejoice while the conservative base will be even more motivated to repeal the law.

No: It already eats up too much of state budgets
States are already struggling to pay their Medicaid bills. Why put taxpayers on the hook to pay even more?

Pro/con: Should states accept federal funds to expand Medicaid?
No: It already eats up too much of state budgets

Reader's view: We care more about saving animals than babies
Roe v. Wade: More than 54 million innocent, precious babies torn from the womb, some near their day of birth, under the guise of choice, and yet there are those who strive to save dogs, cats, horses and now wolves.

Reader’s view: Obama’s policies will hurt small businesses
Where’s the incentive to risk capital to start or expand businesses? The outlook to expand business and hire employees is dismal if the Bush tax breaks are allowed to expire and President Obama follows through with increasing tax rates for the supposed rich.
