More Scrutiny for CIRM and Big-Government Health Care
Submitted by Diana M. Ernst on 3.26.2008
State Senator Sheila Kuehl, California’s leading partisan of government monopoly health care, has assumed the role of consumer watchdog. Her new measure, SB 1565, “Stem Cell Research – Public Accountability and Access,” targets problems with the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM). Some may wonder if the senator should be pointing fingers, but CIRM does seem to lack accountability.
California Health Care: Learning from history for a healthier future
Submitted by Diana M. Ernst on 3.12.2008
After folding on ABX 1 1, the governor now tries his hand at the state’s dwindling budget with desperate ideas to rescind tax credits and request more federal funds. As for health care, the legislature’s “new” approach is incremental change. There are few winning hands thus far.
Calls to Inaction? Three New Books on Health Reform
Submitted by Diana M. Ernst on 3.11.2008
During 2007, some new books on health reform offered the same old message of single-payer, government-monopoly health care. Others offered market-based solutions but, unfortunately, rely too much on “top-down” technical innovation instead of “bottom-up” consumer preference to improve American health care. Three books not only show the wide spectrum of views, but they also typify the tendency of scholars and practitioners to offer idealist solutions to health care problems and with less diversity of individual choice.
