High-Tech Healthcare Will Improve Lives
Submitted on 11.26.2004
TV programs like The Swan and Extreme Makeover demonstrate that when medicine meets the marketplace, the results can be stunning. But while new technologies and investments drive the latest health services, entrenched political interests threaten progress. Take, for instance, the recent controversy over ultrasounds in California.
A Deadly Chicken/Egg Situation
Submitted by Peter Pitts on 11.17.2004
The action by British regulators to nix half of the U.S. supply of flu vaccine will result in more dead Americans this winter. No matter how well the U.S. redistributes remaining vaccine stocks, no matter how far and wide we search for safe and effective replacement doses, some vulnerable people will go without needed shots. It didn’t need to be this way, which begs the question: would the British have nixed the entire vaccine supply had those shots been earmarked for use in Great Britain?
Why Canada isn't the answer to health care
Submitted by Elizabeth Whelan on 11.14.2004
I am a great fan of publisher Wiley's series of "Dummy" books (billed as "a reference for the rest of us"). Whether the "Dummy" focus is on World War II, gardening, baking, or understanding wines, the Wiley books boil down the essence of the topic into easily understandable bits and pieces.

Miracle Cure Book Review - Townhall
Submitted by Robert Zirkelbach on 11.2.2004
"The goal of a health care system should be to provide all citizens with access to quality and affordable health care. These goals can only be accomplished by strengthening the sovereignty of the patient and restoring the doctor-patient relationship, both of which require reducing the role of government."
No Ill Will
Submitted by Sally C. Pipes on 11.2.2004
Campaigning politicians are notorious for making pledges they can't keep. And voters usually take what they say with a grain of salt. But Senator John Kerry's health-care plan is so full of empty promises it really ought to come with a free shaker.
Why Canada isn't the answer to health care
Submitted by Jonathan Kay on 11.2.2004
The United States is the only major Western nation that does not guarantee access to health care to its citizens. In 1993, President Clinton, with the controversial assistance of his wife Hillary, launched an ambitious bid to address this anomaly. Such was the scale of their failure that since then few mainstream politicians have dared to revisit the idea.
