By George Caldwell, The Daily Signal - The Republican bill is not a highly ambitious repeal, reform, or restructuring of Obamacare. Rather, it is a bundle of focused tweaks to the health insurance system that aims to lower health care costs, instead of the government’s current strategy, which has been to have government subsidize an increasingly unaffordable health care system...

While we sing of joy throughout the Advent season — “Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel!” — this Sunday’s Mass begins with a special imperative taken from St. Paul’s charge to the first Christians in Philippi: Gaudete semper in Domino.
