    Bernie, Stop Fibbing About Canada’s Single-Payer Disaster

    Late last month, Senator Bernie Sanders traveled to Canada to see firsthand what the United States can “learn” from our northern neighbor’s single-payer healthcare system.

    There’s No Reason For Congress Not to Repeal the Individual Mandate in Tax Reform

    On Tuesday, Senate Republican leaders announced plans to scrap Obamacare’s individual mandate in their latest tax reform legislation. If passed, the mandate would be fully repealed by 2019.

    The VA Is A National Embarrassment, Not a Model to Emulate

    Originally published in The Philadelphia Inquirer Military veterans aren’t the only victims of the Veterans Health Administration’s chronic negligence.

    Doctors Should Oppose Single-Payer

    Bernie Sanders Goes To Canada And Turns A Blind Eye To Their Failing Health System

    Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., traveled to Canada in late October. His goal? To highlight the supposed benefits of that nation’s single-payer healthcare system. “How is it that here in Canada, they provide quality health care to all people … and they do it for half the cost?” he asked rhetorically. ...

    Single-Payer Is Failing Overseas — We Shouldn’t Adopt It Here

    Two weeks ago, Sens. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., and Tim Kaine, D-Va., introduced a bill that would effectively allow some Americans to buy into Medicare.
