Now that Paul Ryan is the presumptive new leader of the House of Representatives, what happens next?
COMMENTARIES
The Employer Mandate Is Having No Effect On The Percent With Health Insurance At Work
You must have heard the scary scenarios. I have repeated some of them myself. Obamacare threatens to impose a burden on the workplace that is the equivalent of a $6.00 an hour health minimum wage.
Why Making A Profit In Health Care Is Good
What Adam Smith said about the butcher, the brewer and the baker is equally true in health care. You can’t be successful in the medical marketplace unless you are meeting other peoples’ needs.
The Federal Reserve’s Accountability Deficit
The Federal Reserve enjoys extraordinary independence from the elected branches of government, based on the well-founded fear that politicians cannot be trusted with the power to print money and manipulate interest rates.
The Jeb Bush Health Plan
In contrast to Obamacare, the Bush health plan envisions a much smaller role for government and a much bigger role for individual choice and competition in the marketplace.
How Government Regulation Is Undermining Mental Health Care
Anyone who has given two seconds worth of thought to it knows that school shootings are not occurring because we have a gun problem. They are occurring because we have a mental health problem.
Is ObamaCare Good For The Middle Class?
Apparently not. For every person who has obtained insurance in the (ObamaCare) exchanges, there are two other eligible people who have not enrolled. We now have a good idea why that is.
Are High Deductibles A Good Thing Or A Bad Thing?
Here is the good news. Responsibility for managing health care spending is being increasingly shifted away from third-party payer bureaucracies to individual patients, who often are much better at evaluating the costs and benefits of their own care.
Why Is There Global Poverty?
It’s a “moral outrage,” Barack Obama told the United Nations delegates last week. He was speaking about the fact that 800 million men, women and children in the world scrape by on less than $1.25 a day and that billions of people are at risk of dying from preventable diseases.
What Should Be Next For The GOP: An Alternative To Obama Policies
The worst thing about the replacement of House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner with a new leader is that it is distracting Republicans everywhere from what really needs to be happening.
