Cartoons of the day: Obamacare and the courts
Two federal appeals courts handed down conflicting rulings regarding subsidies under the Affordable Care Act on Tuesday, just the latest turns in the legal road for President Obama's signature health care law. Editorial cartoonist Nate Beeler calls Obamacare's journey to becoming "the law of the land" a maze, while Joe Heller suggests the ruling that went against Obamacare was another feeble attempt by Republicans to take it down.

Cartoons of the day: Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby decision
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday that Hobby Lobby and some other companies can opt out of the Affordable Care Act's contraceptive requirement on religious grounds.

By Cohen Peart
Letters Editor
The Obama administration announced this week it will delay the deadline for the Affordable Care Act for those who encounter difficulties signing up.

Cartoons of the day: Obamacare and young adults
Only 27 percent of Americans who have signed up for the Affordable Care Act are in the 18-34 age group, significantly lower than the Obama administration's target of 40 percent. With this year's deadline looming, editorial cartoonist Joe Heller says young people aren't showing up in the Obamacare picture, while Nate Beeler suggests the administration is turning to desperate measures to sign them up.
Cartoons of the day: Obamacare and jobs
Last week's Congressional Budget Office report predicted that the Affordable Care Act will shrink the U.S. workforce by more than 2 million jobs over the next decade as those who rely on their jobs for health coverage would quit working, reduce their hours or stop looking for employment. Editorial cartoonist Pat Bagley says the health care law will free those who have been chained to their jobs, while Chip Bok suggests President Obama might call the unemployment rate the "liberation from work rate."

Cartoons of the day: Obamacare troubles
President Obama reversed course this week and said millions of Americans should be able to renew health insurance plans that had been canceled because of the Affordable Care Act. Editorial cartoonist Rick McKee says that's like pardoning a turkey after cutting off its head, while Nate Beeler says Christmas came awfully early this year for the Republicans.
Cartoons of the day: "If you like your plan …"
"If you like your plan, you can keep it" — a broken presidential promise, obvious political hyperbole, or somewhere in between? Regarding President Obama's repeated claim regarding the Affordable Care Act, editorial cartoonist John Cole suggests the president has a forked tongue, while Pat Bagley thinks the law's opponents have also missed the mark on telling the truth.

Cartoons of the day: Health insurance cancellations
A wave of health insurance cancellations has caused some Americans to wonder whether President Obama misled them with his assurances that they'd be able to keep their plans under the Affordable Care Act. Editorial cartoonist Eric Allie thinks people who believed the president's assurance were as naive as a certain Peanuts character, while Rick McKee wonders what other changes might be in store.
