Obama plan doesn’t promise health care reform
Sen. Barack Obama has promised to “turn the page on the failed politics of yesterday’s health care debates.” He’s right to call for a new approach to healthcare reform. What he’s offered thus far, however, is a government-heavy solution that’s all-too-similar to the tired proposals of yesteryear. The centerpiece of ...

A fight to the finish: McCain vs. Obama on health care
If you’re a member of Congress, you get exceptional health care coverage. In fact, Barack Obama likes his Senate plan so much he’d like everyone to have it. The only catch is, if we all had the generous coverage Congress enjoys, the American economy would have an instant heart attack. ...

Ban the Man?
Next month the world’s athletes gather in Beijing, what we used to call Peking, for the XXIX Olympics, this iteration bearing the slogan “One World, One Dream.” One outstanding American athlete had a dream to compete in these Olympics, but will not be doing so. It’s not because of drugs, ...

U.S. should avoid Britain’s example
A British court just ruled that the U.K. government unfairly denied anti-dementia drugs to Alzheimer’s patients. The government’s reason for refusing to cover the drugs? Money. Government scrooges didn’t want to foot the bill. This kind of penny-pinching happens all too often in Britain, thanks to the National Institute for ...

A Primer for Follow-On Biologics
Generic drugs are chemically identical to their brand-name counterparts. And they cost about 70 percent less. That’s why, with healthcare costs escalating, policymakers want to expand the use of generics. As part of that effort, the Senate is considering a measure that would allow the generic drug industry to produce ...

The “Title Nining” of Academic Science
Whatever people prefer to call it, Title IX is a quota system that has caused plenty of damage in college sports, primarily by slashing men’s programs in the name of “proportionality.” As Christina Hoff Summers recently noted in The American, the gender warriors are now using Title IX to colonize ...

Massachusetts proves the folly of universal health insurance
Universal health care recently celebrated its second — and perhaps final — birthday in Massachusetts. There’s not a lot of cause for celebration.
