Submitted by John R. Graham on 12.20.2007

Remove barriers to affordable health insurance
Submitted by Sally C. Pipes on 12.17.2007
Ever wonder why health insurance costs so much in Colorado? Well, maybe it has something to do with the fact that every insurance policy in the state must cover all kinds of services — including professional counseling — deemed unnecessary by many.
Team Rudy: A brainy and ready brain trust
Submitted by John J. Miller on 12.17.2007
As Bill Simon Jr. prepared to run for governor of California, he sought the advice of his old boss, Rudy Giuliani. They agreed to have breakfast at The Peninsula, a ritzy hotel in Manhattan. The date was September 11, 2001.
California Court Outlaws Responsible Underwriting
Submitted by John R. Graham on 12.14.2007
I have scribbled with increasing anxiety about California regulators' war against insurers' responsible policing of fraud.

Cover Less to Cover More
Submitted by Lauren Stossel on 12.2.2007
THE governor of New York has been touting his “patient-centered approach to health care policy,” claiming that it is “driven by the needs and demands of New Yorkers.” That sounds nice, but the plan is actually centered on more government control of the health insurance market and higher taxes — not exactly a new approach here.
Pressing Forward with Health IT
Submitted by Sharon J. Watson on 12.1.2007
A growing number of initiatives within the private sector, among industry groups, and at the state level to promote and adopt health information technology (HIT) have some analysts suggesting federal efforts have been less effective than developments driven by consumers, businesses, and nonprofits.
