Read about Biden's plan to extend health insurance to DACA
Biden’s Healthcare Amnesty Solves Nothing — and at a Staggering Cost
The Biden administration recently finalized a rule extending subsidized health coverage to approximately 100,000 people without health insurance who entered the United States illegally. These folks are part of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program — a group sometimes known as “dreamers.” The new rule effectively rewrites ...

Fauci Has Only Himself to Blame for His COVID Legacy
“We have seen complete fabrications become some people’s accepted reality,” Dr. Anthony Fauci laments in his new memoir “On Call: A Doctor’s Journey in Public Service.” Surely the good doctor means to speak about his ideological foes, who have long decried the heavy-handed response to COVID-19 that Dr. Fauci symbolizes. But today, ...

We’re Closer Than Ever To Beating Alzheimer’s. Price Controls Could Change That.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved donanemab, a novel treatment for Alzheimer’s disease that Eli Lilly will sell under the brand name Kisunla.

U.S. Left Take Note: UK’s Healthcare an Unending Nightmare
Great Britain has new leadership. The Labour Party rode dissatisfaction with the Conservative Party, and in particular its stewardship of the country’s National Health Service, to victory in this month’s elections.

Biden has given us worse healthcare
President Joe Biden proudly touted his record on healthcare during last month’s disastrous presidential debate. “The American public has greater healthcare coverage today than ever before,” he proclaimed. That’s debatable, to say the least. His administration’s policies have caused health insurance costs to surge. Biden began his presidency by increasing public subsidies for coverage through the exchanges. ...

In Debate Biden Lost on Substance, Style, and More
President Joe Biden’s clumsy, halting performance at the first presidential debate was nothing short of disastrous. But the substance of his remarks, especially on healthcare, is just as worrying. Take his defense of the Inflation Reduction Act’s price controls on insulin for Medicare Part D enrollees. As the president put it, “We brought ...

The Medicare doomsday clock ticks closer to midnight
One day, our grandchildren may talk about Medicare the way we talk about Bernie Madoff. In May, Medicare’s trustees released their annual report on the program’s finances, and things are not looking good. The entitlement spent $12 billion more than it took in from taxes in 2023. Absent change, Medicare’s ...

Joe Biden’s False Promise To Young Voters
In the lead-up to last month’s presidential debate, pundits predicted that President Biden would lean into his standard defense of his former boss’s signature healthcare legislation in a bid to attract young voters, whose lack of enthusiasm for the president has the White House worried.

Read the latest on out-of-control Medicaid spending
Medicaid is for health care, not housing
Now, however, Medicaid is funding a slew of additional benefits — from meal deliveries to rent — on the pretext that they “influence health status” for the better. And next on that list of benefits could be affordable housing. Health insurers are investing billions in the construction of new apartments ...

Enhanced Obamacare Subsidies Irresistibly Inviting for Fraud
A new study from the Paragon Health Institute reveals that they’re also an invitation to fraud. As many as five million people receive free, taxpayer-funded marketplace coverage even though they’re not eligible for such largesse. It’s far from clear how many of these patients are deliberately misleading the government and ...
