The Editors: "The numbers are=in: Obamacare reduced the share of Americans without health insurance last=year to 10.4 percent, down from 13.3 percent the year before. ... The figu=es put to rest the notion that Obamacare would cause more people to lose c=verage than gain it. But U.S. health care is by no means fixed. Three subs=antial improvements are still needed."

Companies

Justin Fox: "Cablevision, of =ourse, just closed a $17.7 billion deal to be acquired by French cable bil=ionaire Patrick Drahi’s Altice. Since Comcast dropped its bid for =ime Warner, the rest of the cable providers have been engaged in a merger =renzy that is a large part of the explanation for why their stock prices a=e up. Still, they wouldn’t be buying each other if they thought th= future of cable was hopeless. So what’s up?" Read more...

2016 Elections

Leonid Bershidsky: "It's usel=ss to peruse European news websites in search of substantive analysis of p=licy recipes proposed by Republican candidates for the U.S. presidency dur=ng Wednesday's debate. There was little the 11 Republicans said that had a=ything to do with the current European agenda, and what they did say was s= outlandish it hardly merited discussion." Read more...

Investing

Barry Ritholtz: "Whether the =ed moves the rate from its 0-0.25 percent band to a pure 0.25 percent rate= is inconsequential.

Economics

Noah Smith: "Almost everywher= throughout the developing world, the story is the same: China, China, Chi=a. The BRIC investment thesis may have stood for Brazil, Russia, India and=China, but it was always mostly about the 'C.' In recent years, China has =een responsible for more than a quarter of global growth (which includes d=veloped and emerging markets). That is quite a powerful growth driver. Muc= of the hand-wringing about emerging-market governance is therefore mispla=ed." Read more...

Law

Noah Feldman: "Sometimes the =ame of a case says it all. Pennsylvania v. 2,447 Bottles of Wine is such a= instance. After a county judge’s ruling, the state is poised to p=ur more than 1,300 bottles of fine wine down the drain -- all because of a=misinterpretation of an obsolete, arcane law. The court got this one wrong=" Read more...
