Trump Doesn’t Need Price Controls to Lower Prescription Drug Costs

POSTED BY Doug Badger | The Daily Signal on September 29, 2020.

By making full use of his executive authority, President Donald Trump has helped to reduce health care costs by increasing choice and competition.

POSTED BY Doug Badger on July 21, 2020.

By Doug Badger, The Daily Signal, 07/15/20 | Florida reported almost as many COVID cases among its residents in the first two weeks of July as it did over the previous three and a half months.  The newly infected population has trended younger, which is an encouraging sign.

On Surprise Medical Bills, Congress Should Side With Consumers, Not Special Interests

POSTED BY Doug Badger | The Daily Signal on January 30, 2020.

Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas.  “It’s troubling that it’s taking this long,” Doggett, a senior member of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, recently told Politico.  “But this can’t be something that is 100 percent for the provider or 100 percent for the insurer. … [Read more...] about On Surprise Medical Bills, Congress Should Side With Consumers, Not Special Interests
