Vance Must Put America First on Healthcare
Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance has made quite a splash since arriving in Washington less than two years ago. He’s gone from the junior senator from Ohio and the 96th by seniority to the top of the Republican ticket as Donald Trump’s running mate. Vance has branded himself as an “America First” conservative. ...

Kamala Harris’s healthcare record is rotten to the core
Democrats, including former President Barack Obama, have enthusiastically rallied around Vice President Kamala Harris as their presumptive presidential nominee. Voters will not be nearly as enthusiastic about her record on healthcare. Harris stands to President Joe Biden’s left on health policy. If elected, she would almost certainly drag the United States closer to a complete government ...

Biden’s Healthcare Amnesty Solves Nothing — and at a Staggering Cost
The Biden administration recently finalized a rule extending subsidized health coverage to approximately 100,000 people without health insurance who entered the United States illegally. These folks are part of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program — a group sometimes known as “dreamers.” The new rule effectively rewrites ...

Fauci Has Only Himself to Blame for His COVID Legacy
“We have seen complete fabrications become some people’s accepted reality,” Dr. Anthony Fauci laments in his new memoir “On Call: A Doctor’s Journey in Public Service.” Surely the good doctor means to speak about his ideological foes, who have long decried the heavy-handed response to COVID-19 that Dr. Fauci symbolizes. But today, ...

We’re Closer Than Ever To Beating Alzheimer’s. Price Controls Could Change That.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved donanemab, a novel treatment for Alzheimer’s disease that Eli Lilly will sell under the brand name Kisunla. The drug targets amyloid, a type of protein that builds up in the brains of people with the disease. It was shown to slow the ...

U.S. Left Take Note: UK’s Healthcare an Unending Nightmare
Great Britain has new leadership. The Labour Party rode dissatisfaction with the Conservative Party, and in particular its stewardship of the country’s National Health Service, to victory in this month’s elections. Democrats in the United States may hope they can follow their left-wing brethren to victory this fall by campaigning ...

Biden has given us worse healthcare
President Joe Biden proudly touted his record on healthcare during last month’s disastrous presidential debate. “The American public has greater healthcare coverage today than ever before,” he proclaimed. That’s debatable, to say the least. His administration’s policies have caused health insurance costs to surge. Biden began his presidency by increasing public subsidies for coverage through the exchanges. ...

Read Biden's latest defense of price controls on insulin
In Debate Biden Lost on Substance, Style, and More
President Joe Biden’s clumsy, halting performance at the first presidential debate was nothing short of disastrous. But the substance of his remarks, especially on healthcare, is just as worrying. Take his defense of the Inflation Reduction Act’s price controls on insulin for Medicare Part D enrollees. As the president put it, “We brought ...

The Medicare doomsday clock ticks closer to midnight
One day, our grandchildren may talk about Medicare the way we talk about Bernie Madoff. In May, Medicare’s trustees released their annual report on the program’s finances, and things are not looking good. The entitlement spent $12 billion more than it took in from taxes in 2023. Absent change, Medicare’s ...

Joe Biden’s False Promise To Young Voters
In the lead-up to last month’s presidential debate, pundits predicted that President Biden would lean into his standard defense of his former boss’s signature healthcare legislation in a bid to attract young voters, whose lack of enthusiasm for the president has the White House worried. It’s safe to say that Team Biden ...
