Sally Pipes in HealthCare Dive, “How might Xavier Becerra operate as HHS Secretary?”
The nominee has made headlines since leaving the House, in part by leading blue state efforts to defend the ACA, now under threat in a case before the Supreme Court.

Undoing Short-Term Health Plans Is Bad Policy
Last week, President Joe Biden signed several executive orders that aim to kick-start his administration’s approach to health reform. He’s re-opening the exchanges in the three dozen states that use HealthCare.gov for three months, from February 15 through May 15. And he’s directing federal agencies to re-examine several rules promulgated by the Trump administration, ...

Biden’s health care plans – this is what Americans can expect from Democrats
Last week, President Joe Biden signed executive orders that will re-open ObamaCare’s insurance exchanges from Feb. 15 through May 15 and direct federal agencies to re-examine some of the health care rules enacted by the Trump administration. There’s a limit to what Biden can accomplish by executive action. But with narrow control of Congress, there’s still plenty ...

Let The Failures Of Government Vaccine Distribution Be A Warning
Last week, former FDA commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb suggested that we “hit the reset” button on Covid-19 vaccine distribution. That reset should include taking the government out of the equation. The government has largely failed to get life-saving vaccines into the arms of Americans. And the consequences are deadly. The government’s botched ...

Biden officials threaten to jumpstart single-payer health care systems
Move over, Bidencare. Single-payer health care could be coming to the United States. President-elect Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, is a longtime supporter of Medicare for All.

Government incompetence deprives people of COVID-19 vaccines
By Monday afternoon, of 25.5 million COVID-19 vaccine doses distributed across the United States, just 9 million had actually been administered to patients. That’s well short of the government’s goal of inoculating 20 million people by the end of 2020. Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised.
