Health Care Policy

By Margot Cleveland: Therein lies the choice with government-run health coverage: Huge (and regular) tax increases or rationing. Or both.

By Chris Woodward: A Canadian is helping people in his country get care in America — because the healthcare system where he lives, he says, “simply does not work.”

By Greg Scandlen: The sad irony is that the law creating health savings accounts extended them to everyone in America, except those on Medicare.

By Stephen Moore: Democrats are against Medicaid reforms, repealing the Obamacare tax increases, the individual mandate, the employer mandate and the essential benefit package regulations.

By Jay Bowen: The backbone of a productive reform plan must include a move away from third parties.

By Daniel Greenfield: Call it single-payer or Medicare-for-all, socialized medicine is death.

By Scott Ehrlich: The arguments for single-payer are full of ridiculous extrapolations, economically illiterate assumptions, and pie in the sky dreams.

By Chris Pope: The failure to repeal Obamacare need not force us to put up with the dysfunctional insurance market that the “Affordable Care Act” established.

By Diana Furchtgott-Roth: If Congress cannot repeal Obamacare, there is a way to create a parallel system that would enable people to purchase the plans they want to buy.

By Fred Lucas: President Donald Trump could have Congress in an uncomfortable corner over the lawmakers’ exemption, and that of their staff, from Obamacare.

By Grace-Marie Turner: The system established by the Affordable Care Act is collapsing on its own. Average premiums are up 105 percent since the health overhaul law took effect.

By Mike Needham: Regardless of what happens later today, we know that Democrats will not stop in their quest for a nationalized, single-payer scheme.

By Larry Alton: Every few years, the media gets low on ammo and decides they’re going to make a collective push to talk about bringing a single-payer healthcare system to the US.
