Democrats’ Destructive Spending Spree Would Turn America Into a European Social Welfare State

POSTED BY Grace-Marie Turner on October 13, 2021.

A Disaster for Life-Saving Innovation

POSTED BY Galen Institute on May 21, 2021.

by Grace-Marie Turner | RealClear Health | The Biden administration has taken a bulldozer to intellectual property rights in announcing it will not protect COVID-19 creator companies, auspiciously to hasten access to vaccines in developing countries.

Health Care Choices 20/20

POSTED BY Galen Institute on October 23, 2020.

Americans have said for decades that health care and insurance cost too much and that they feel like cogs in our vast health care system with little control over choices and spending.
