  1. A death-knell for employer-funded insurance

    The Supreme Court directed a harsh spotlight on Obamacare this past week, but the problems with the law go far beyond the constitutionality of the "individual mandate." One of the great unknowns generated by the passage of Obamacare goes directly to the heart of health care choice: the notion that increased employer costs and regulatory burdens would cause employers to simply pay fines (and send their newly insurance-deprived employees to state-run exchanges) rather than continue employer-subsidized insurance. That some of the largest American companies would consider such a move has caused plenty of Democratic heartburn. In one scenario, AT&T estimated its health care costs would drop from $2.4 billion to $600 million if the company eliminated employee coverage and paid the government-mandated fine instead.

  4. Low-polluting trucks key to reducing oil imports

    More than 70 percent of the oil used in the United States is for transportation. If we want to reduce oil imports and address the trade deficit, we need to find ways to make our cars and trucks more efficient and run on cleaner fuels. Such opportunities exist — and must be encouraged.
