Mushrooming health subsidies are creating sick incentives for government to push suicide

Compared to Other Nations, the U.S. Health Care System Isn’t So Bad
Following the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, the mores of the farthest reaches of social media have made their way to Congress. Last week, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said, “The visceral response from people across the country who feel cheated, ripped off, and threatened by the vile practices of ...

No to Socialized Medicine for Already Overburdened Veterans
A bill introduced by U.S. House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs Chairman Mike Bost, R-Ill., last week promises to make private healthcare more accessible to veterans.

Here’s What’s in Trump’s Healthcare Plan
The American people are about to find out what Donald Trump meant when he said he had “concepts of a plan” for healthcare reform.

Dear Elon, Add Medicare ‘Site-Neutrality’ To DOGE’s To-Do List

They hope to use the new Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, to axe wasteful spending and slash bureaucratic red tape that costs Americans trillions of dollars in foregone economic growth. One of the best places to start would ...

To address this crisis, we must make health care work like other sectors of our economy, rather than the bloated, over-regulated mess it is today. And that will require ...

Congress must act now to stop Medicare physician pay cuts

The False Promise of a Government Takeover of our Health Care System
My goal today is to expose the false promise of a fully government-run healthcare system — “Medicare for All,” as some progressives style it. Under this vision, private insurance would be illegal, and all Americans would be enrolled in a single, federally run insurance plan. That’s why some people call ...
