Things are Looking Up

POSTED BY Grace-Marie Turner on May 6, 2022.

The ground is shifting in the health policy debate, my friends.  For most of the 25 years I have been working on this issue at the Galen Institute, the key issue has been coverage…coverage…coverage, with growing cries for Medicare for All and universal coverage. But now that virtually all Americans have access to coverage, even if they aren’t signed up, concerns are shifting … [Read more...] about Things are Looking Up

Illegal “Fix”

POSTED BY Grace-Marie Turner on April 8, 2022.

The legislation creating ObamaCare was enacted as a sloppy draft, such that it has been changed over and over just to barely make it work. Well, they are at it again, this time with a big illegal “glitch” fix. The Biden administration is proposing a major expansion of Obamacare—with $45 billion in new spending—without so much as asking Congress for authority. The White House held a major … [Read more...] about Illegal “Fix”

M4All Love Fest

POSTED BY Grace-Marie Turner on April 1, 2022.

In a marathon five-hour hearing on Tuesday, Democrats who control the House Oversight and Reform Committee painted a wildly unrealistic picture of the utopia of a single, government-controlled health care system they call Medicare for All. “Everyone could go to see any doctor or hospital anytime without worrying about cost,” Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) proclaimed.   “Right here, I … [Read more...] about M4All Love Fest

Testifying on Tuesday

POSTED BY Grace-Marie Turner on March 25, 2022.

Someone once asked George Will how on earth he could come up with something new to write for his newspaper columns three times a week, year after year. “Something new makes me mad at least three times a week,” he said.   Ha!  So what makes me mad this week is that liberals absolutely will not give up in pushing for a government-run, single-payer health care system—despite … [Read more...] about Testifying on Tuesday

A Stronger New Normal

POSTED BY Grace-Marie Turner on March 11, 2022.

Not long before I came to Washington to work for a U.S. Senator, Hurricane Agnes had pounded the East coast, leaving 128 people dead and causing billions of dollars in damages. Pennsylvania and New York were hardest hit with torrential floods. Federal, state, and local governments as well as private citizens, churches, and relief agencies mobilized in response to what was then called … [Read more...] about A Stronger New Normal
