Cutting the health insurance Gordian KnotWith one simple executive order, President Trump could reduce the healthcare costs of the uninsured by 90%. In most cases, they would have been able to pay their bills if they had only been charged what insured patients pay.

× Federal judge blocks Anthem's bid to acquire Cigna in health insurance mergerNEW YORK — A federal judge has blocked Anthem's attempt to acquire Cigna in what would have created the largest health insurer in the nation. Anthem and Cigna are the U.S.'s second and third largest health insurance providers. It's the second roadblock a federal judge has put up for an attempted health care merger since the beginning of the year. Aetna's plans to takeover Humana for $37 billion was frozen by a federal judge last month. Anthem's stock was flat.
