No one calls the home mortgage deduction an "individual mandate" to buy a home, so why should Obama's "mandate" to obtain health care under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) be unconstitutional, asks Edward Song of The Song Law PC.
Song Law PC的Edward Song问道，没有人认为房屋抵押贷款减免是购买房屋的“个人授权”，那么为什么奥巴马在《平价医疗法案》(ACA)下获得医疗保健的“授权”是违宪的呢?

Now that we have covered the uninsured, it is time for us to put the priority on health, not health insurance, according to Darius Lakdawalla and Dana Goldman, both of the University of Southern California. The authors argue that benefits to population health are likely to be limited under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

Healthcare costs are no doubt too high, and Congress has been pushing for 13 years to harness market forces in Medicare procurement.

Professor Richardson documents redistribution from Democratic states to Republican states and links this to the 1994 "Republican revolution" -- suggesting a deliberative effort by Republicans to redistribute income towards their constituents. Seth Giertz of the University of Nebraska argues that what Professor Richardson's analysis really shows is that "red" states -- but not necessarily Republicans within those states -- are (increasingly) the major beneficiaries of federal redistributive policies -- and that "blue" states are (increasingly) the benefactors.
理查森教授记录了从民主党州到共和党州的再分配，并将其与1994年的“共和党革命”联系起来——这表明共和党人经过深思熟虑的努力，将收入再分配给他们的选民。内布拉斯加大学(University of Nebraska)的塞思·吉尔茨(Seth Giertz)认为，理查森教授的分析真正表明的是，“红色”州——但不一定是这些州的共和党人——(越来越)是联邦再分配政策的主要受益者，而“蓝色”州(越来越)是受益者。
