Medicare Is Now Unaffordable

“If anyone here tries to cut … Medicare … I will stop you.” That was President Biden’s promise to a joint session of Congress during last week’s State of the Union address. Some may find such tough talk reassuring. But Biden’s refusal to even acknowledge Medicare’s dire fiscal situation — much less chart a course ...

Let UK Keep Drug Rationing

Any list of the world’s most inhumane healthcare bureaucracies has to include Britain’s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence at the top. For over two decades, the agency has employed ruthless cost-benefit analyses to effectively deny British patients access to the latest medicines. Now NICE is looking to export its expertise rationing ...

As Gas Prices Rise in California, Could Even More Pain at the Pump Be Coming?

When Californians voted on Super Tuesday, they paid an average of $4.85 for a gallon of regular gasoline, according to the American Automobile Association.

Competition Or Insolvency? Medicare’s Time For Choosing.

America has a spending problem. Last month, the Congressional Budget Office reported that debt held by the public will exceed the entire economic output of the country next year.

Don’t take away short-term health plans

The Biden administration may soon finalize rules that would deprive many Americans, especially young and healthy ones, of affordable insurance coverage. That will be the consequence of President Joe Biden‘s plan to reverse a 2018 rule promulgated by the Trump administration that allowed low-cost short-term health plans to last up ...

Obamacare coverage might be free. But that’s not good.

There’s a saying that nothing good in life is free. The latest Obamacare enrollment numbers are a case in point. The Biden administration recently announced that a record 21.3 million Americans signed up for Obamacare during this year’s open enrollment period. But many of those enrollees only signed up because they ...

Here’s what California’s radical reparations plan will cost taxpayers

Much of the discussion surrounding the push for reparations in California, New York and cities like San Francisco center on the historical justifications for mass payouts.

Misguided California Regulation Would Hinder Useful Financial Tool

To a hammer, everything is a nail, and so it is with California’s Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI).
