Health Care Policy

By Melissa Quinn: For a patient looking to see a doctor for any given medical procedure, costs often vary wildly based on the facility or physician.

By Deroy Murdock: Create one vibrant market for medical coverage, from sea to shining sea.

By Scott Ehrlich: If we insist on spending this staggering amount of money, we could spend it in a way that actually provides health care for the many Americans who supposedly desperately need it.

By Daniel Payne: Direct primary care offers in reality what our political class has thus far offered us only in theory: sane, reasonable, and affordable health care.

By Lewis Morris: Let’s take a look at the Republicans’ proposed solution for the sick — “individual high-risk pools.”

By Chris Medrano: Despite what partisans might say, both parties do in fact share the goal of providing health care for every American. There are real differences between their approaches.

By Edmund Haislmaier: Too often defenders of Obamacare assume or imply that their approach is the only way.

By Michael Tanner: Supply is limited, demand is inexorable, and prices cannot be fixed.

From the Heritage Foundation: It is vital that the new Administration, Congress, and state officials orchestrate a smooth and methodical transition for the repeal of Obamacare.

By Arnold Kling: Put together these cultural traits and you end up with an economy that spends 1/6th of GDP on health care with nobody wanting to spend 1/6th of their income on it.
