The Case Against Obamacare

When Obamacare was signed into law, its authors promised that “if you like your plan, you can keep it,” and that the law would reduce the cost of health insurance. But Forbes Opinion Editor Avik Roy has discovered that the opposite is true: The new health law has disrupted health coverage for millions, and driven up costs for millions more.

In The Case Against Obamacare, you’ll read about Roy’s landmark 3,137-county analysis of health care costs, finding that Obamacare increased individual-market health insurance premiums by an average of 49%. You’ll learn why the health law is pricing many average Americans out of the health insurance market, and why young people in particular are paying more.

In addition to heading Forbes’ Opinion channel, Avik Roy is a Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research. In 2012 he served as a policy adviser to Mitt Romney. He is the author of How Medicaid Fails the Poor and Transcending Obamacare: A Patient-Centered Plan for Near-Universal Coverage and Permanent Fiscal Solvency.
