The math simply doesn't work without support from Democrats. Significantly, there is plenty of common ground to be found.

Given that the American Health Care Act may crash and burn, it's time to start thinking about what could come next.

The American Health Care Act fails to address what should be a critical goal of any reform: making healthcare affordable.

What Republicans are putting forward may bear only a passing resemblance to the reform we get at the end of a long, messy slog.

Repealing the law outright would cause chaos in the health insurance marketplace and take coverage away from millions of consumers.

The ACA creates a penalty for not purchasing health insurance -- but do the math. It's not really a penalty.

Even in the unlikely event that Zenefits disappears, brokers can't just rejoice about the bully's comeuppance. They must take four lessons to heart.

The individual health insurance marketplace is endangered, and policymakers need to start thinking about a fix right now.

Zenefits CEO resigns over failure to use licensed agents. Moral of the story: Things move fast in the start-up world.

Sen. Rubio is trying to keep the Obama administration from fully reimbursing insurers with excessive claims under the ACA.

Insulted by the Zenefits CEO, brokers may revel in his pain but should still take seriously the threat the company represents.

The math always wins: Under the ACA, health co-ops only should have been set up in areas where they were the only source of care.
