Bernie’s Not-So-Subtle Single-Payer Plot
Senator Bernie Sanders (I.,Vt.), America’s most prominent proponent of government-run health care, is once again leading the charge to move our country to a single-payer system.

Budget Reconciliation Bill’s Healthcare Provisions Are Disastrous
Last week, House Democrats passed the $3.5 trillion budget resolution that their Senate counterparts approved earlier this month. The resolution is merely a framework, though.

Democrats’ Budget Plan Hides a Slow-Moving Healthcare Takeover
Progressives just got one step closer to their dream of socialized health care. In a party-line vote this week, the Democratic House majority ratified a $3.5 trillion budget plan that includes the largest expansion of government-run health care in recent memory.

Hold the Applause, Biden Shouldn’t Take an Obamacare Victory Lap

Demonstrators in 50 cities across the country took the streets last month to demand a government takeover of America’s health system. The Democrats who control Washington are trying to give those activists what they’re asking for, albeit in piecemeal fashion.

Medicare And Medicaid Turn 56 Today. That’s Not Exactly Cause For Celebration.
Today, Medicare and Medicaid mark their 56th birthday. They were signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson to ensure that seniors and the poor had access to quality, affordable health coverage as part of his Great Society. They’ve grown far beyond what their creators envisioned. In 1967, the House Ways ...

Democrats $3.5 Trillion Budget Leaves the Health Care Sector as Broken as Ever
One of the most striking aspects of the $3.5 trillion budget resolution proposed last week by Senate Democrats is how little it does to improve America’s ailing healthcare system. The plan funnels massive sums of money into everything from Medicare and Medicaid to Obamacare’s premium tax credits. But it utterly fails to ...
