    How Obamacare Will Gut Muni Bonds (Especially in These 7 States)

    Obamacare

    By Michael E. Lewitt, Global Credit Strategist, Money Morning • @MichaelELewitt - December 9, 2015

    Obamacare has been an economic and political nightmare.

    It's inflicted enormous damage on the American economy and tens of millions of Americans whose medical care has been turned upside down in the name of providing another entitlement without asking anything in return of the recipients.

    It's increased medical costs, deprived Americans of their chosen physicians and treatments, and contributed to a culture of dependency that has no place in a land of liberty.

    And now, in 2016, it's about to gut municipal bonds.

How Obamacare Will Gut Muni Bonds (Especially in These 7 States)

By Michael E. Lewitt, Global Credit Strategist, Money Morning • @MichaelELewitt - December 9, 2015

Obamacare

Obamacare has been an economic and political nightmare.

It's inflicted enormous damage on the American economy and tens of millions of Americans whose medical care has been turned upside down in the name of providing another entitlement without asking anything in return of the recipients.

It's increased medical costs, deprived Americans of their chosen physicians and treatments, and contributed to a culture of dependency that has no place in a land of liberty.

And now, in 2016, it's about to gut municipal bonds.

This Obamacare News Is One of the Law's Worst Omens to Date

By David Zeiler, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler - November 20, 2015

UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE: UNH) CEO Stephen J. Hemsley unleashed a bombshell of Obamacare news when he announced that his firm is considering a 2017 exit from the exchanges created by the Affordable Care Act.

This devastating Obamacare news confirmed suspicion that the major insurers aren't doing well with their ACA plans.

So what the heck is going on?

Frankly, it's something the ACA's critics have long predicted...

Obamacare Facts: "We Have Insurance, but We Can't Afford to Use It"

By David Zeiler, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler - November 20, 2015

obamacare facts

Obamacare facts: While the Affordable Healthcare Act (ACA) has helped millions of low-income Americans get medical care, middle-class citizens who have signed up for Obamacare plans are getting crushed financially.

Many middle-class people who enrolled in an Obamacare plan have not only seen premium rates rise, but are getting stuck with steep deductibles. Despite having health insurance, these folks often find they can't afford treatment.

Here's what's gone wrong...

Is Obamacare Working? This Report Card Says It's Failing

By David Zeiler, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler - October 1, 2015

doctors

Today is Oct. 1 - the two-year anniversary of when the Obamacare healthcare exchanges opened for business. So it's a good time to assess the healthcare law.

Some of Obamacare is working. But some parts of the Affordable Care Act have not worked as intended, and some are simply failing altogether.

Here's a full report card on how well Obamacare is working - or not...

The Obamacare Lies That Duped America

By David Zeiler, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler - November 18, 2014

Obamacare lies

The Affordable Care Act was always too good to be true, but speaking the truth is bad medicine for controversial laws.

Now we know that the Obamacare lies of the past six years were calculated, intentional, and crafted to fool what the healthcare law's creators assumed to be an ignorant American public.

We know this because one of the ACA's central architects, Jonathan Gruber, an MIT professor, has said so in at least a half a dozen videos that recently surfaced on the Internet.

Were it not for these Obamacare lies, the ACA would have been strangled in its crib...

Obamacare Facts: Who to Blame and How to Profit as Healthcare Costs Soar

By David Zeiler, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler - August 25, 2014

obamacare facts

Obamacare facts: As the fall enrollment period for healthcare coverage approaches, it's becoming clear that almost everyone is going to be paying more come January 2015.

Premiums are going up, co-pays are going up, and deductibles are going way up. The health insurance companies and most large employers say that the Affordable Care Act is to blame.

But the truth is far more complicated...

Obamacare Facts Overview: A Tale of Two Lawsuits

By Tara Clarke, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @TaraKateClarke - July 29, 2014

Obamacare facts overview: A surprising legal twist last week left Obamacare followers dazed and confused. Two adverse decisions came out within hours of each other on Tuesday. Both rulings attempt to interpret a portion of the text within the Affordable Care Act that says tax credits would be available to individuals "enrolled through an Exchange established by the State."

Here’s what the different rulings could mean for Americans – and for American businesses – in coming months…

Don't Hesitate on This Industry Boom That's Already Here

By Michael A. Robinson, Defense + Tech Specialist, Money Morning • @Robinson_STI - July 17, 2014

If you follow the headlines, you'd think the last place to invest your hard-earned money is in healthcare.

After all, Obamacare remains one of the most polarizing pieces of legislation enacted in a generation.

Consider that a new poll by Rasmussen Reports shows that just 39% of likely U.S. voters have a favorable opinion of the Affordable Care Act, while 54% view it unfavorably.

You Can Profit from These Hot Healthcare Stocks - the Biggest Obamacare Winners

By David Zeiler, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler - July 3, 2014

healthcare stocks

While just about all healthcare stocks seem to be getting a boost from the Affordable Care Act (ACA), otherwise known as Obamacare, one subgroup - the health insurers - figures to get an outsized benefit from the healthcare law.

For weeks the Big Five health insurance stocks have been trading at their all-time highs - every one of them.

But how can investors be sure Obamacare will keep these hot healthcare stocks flourishing?

Well, because the health insurance industry planned it that way…

What the Hobby Lobby Ruling Means for Obamacare

By Tara Clarke, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @TaraKateClarke - June 30, 2014

A Supreme Court Obamacare ruling in the hotly contentious Burwell v. Hobby Lobby case was just issued this morning (Monday).

In a 5-4 ruling, the High Court decided that closely held, for-profit corporations can choose to opt out of the Obamacare provisions that require employers to provide no-cost contraceptive prescriptions to employees.

Here’s what the Hobby Lobby Obamacare decision means for U.S. healthcare – and your wallet…

Dow Jones Today: All Eyes on Obamacare Ruling

By Garrett Baldwin, Executive Producer, Money Morning - June 30, 2014

Dow Jones Today

Dow Jones today, June 30, 2014: The Dow Jones Industrial Average was flat on Friday despite a rise in consumer sentiment. This week, look for a heavy slate of economic reports, including the June unemployment report, factory orders, and the ISM manufacturing composite index.

Here’s the news moving the Dow Jones today:

Obamacare: This One-Act Tragedy Is Nothing but a Bill of Goods

By Shah Gilani, Chief Investment Strategist, Money Morning • @ShahGilani_TW - June 18, 2014

The future of Obamacare isn't bright.

That's because the Affordable Care Act is going to be anything but affordable. It's going to get more and more expensive, as if it's not already outrageously overpriced hype.

What is Obamacare, really? It's a make-richer scheme for insurance companies.

And while you can bet you'll see a premium increase this year, the real pain will begin in 2017 - and then get progressively worse.

This is an abomination...

Is Obamacare Failing? Here's Our Mid-Term Report Card

By David Zeiler, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler - April 1, 2014

Now that we've passed the deadline for people to sign up for insurance under the Affordable Care Act, the question needs to be asked: Is Obamacare failing? One thing is for sure -

this is not a report card any student would want to take home to Mom and Dad...

Obamacare Premiums in 2015 to "Skyrocket"

By Tara Clarke, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @TaraKateClarke - March 19, 2014

The headaches from Obamacare's rocky rollout are not going to end any time soon - if ever. Yesterday healthcare industry officials let slip that premiums in many states will "skyrocket" in 2015. And when they say "skyrocket," they're talking about rates that

almost no one can afford...

Obamacare Facts: Why the Unions Feel Betrayed

By David Zeiler, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler - March 12, 2014

After working tirelessly to get Obamacare passed - and spending millions of dollars in the process - labor unions have become some of the healthcare law's most vocal critics. The unions have a long list of grievances, although some non-union members

may find it hard to sympathize...
