    Expand High-Risk Insurance Pools To Handle Pre-Existing Conditions

    With his public option stalled on the tracks, a centerpiece of President Obama’s health care agenda is emerging. This new one would require insurers to cover those who have pre-existing conditions — while making them charge prices that ignore those conditions. This would immediately inflate the prices of everyone else’s ...

    Baucus Believes Politicians Alone Should Control Health-Reform Debate

    Boy, did they get that wrong! In fact, the reason health insurers dole out cash to Senator Baucus and scramble for a seat at his table is that he’s forbidden them from discussing health reform in any other venue. Humana, Inc. learned this when they mailed a one-page document on ...

    What Is a Tax?

    What is relevant in the broader context is that this president has revealed himself to be quite comfortable denying that which our lying eyes can see clearly. And so the implicit-but-heavy energy taxes to be imposed by a carbon-regulation regime would not be “taxes.” Nor would banking regulations ostensibly aimed ...

    Federal Medical Malpractice Law Would Hinder Reform

    The nation’s doctors are rightly concerned about the need for medical malpractice reform, but their clamor this week for passage of a federal reform law raises troubling legal questions and likely would do little to stem malpractice case filings.

    Health-reform follies: Who’s more efficient?

    New York Post, September 19, 2009 OF all the wishful thinking, denial of realities and blatantly false assertions that surround President Obama’s push for government-dominated health care, the biggest whopper is the claim that public administration will be more efficient than private health plans. Taxpayers won’t be subsidizing the public ...

    The Weak Spots in the Baucus Bill

    The Baucus bill is vulnerable in several immediately apparent ways: It would reduce Americans’ liberty by requiring them to buy health insurance and fining them if they don’t. It would ruin private insurance by requiring insurers to cover all comers at the same premium. In doing so, it would thereby ...

    Doctors Seven Times More Satisfied with Payments from Private Insurance as Medicare

    Funded by the Robert Wood Johnson (RWJ) Foundation, the survey’s results were promoted with a different headline than you see above. “Poll finds most doctors support public option,” said National Public Radio (NPR); “73% of doctors favor public option,” said Salon’s Steve Klingman. These headlines were encouraged by the RWJ ...

    Obama and the Sunday Talkies

    But . . . no. Birds gotta fly, fish gotta swim, ACORN’s gotta engage in fraud, and Obama’s gotta talk. It’s really that simple; and it is amazing, given how little this guy actually knows about economics, about foreign affairs, about, well, just about anything. This reminds me of a ...

    Sen. Wyden Back in the Game: Now We’re Getting Somewhere

    Wyden-Bennett is the only Democrat-led bill that removes the tax prejudice against employees buying their own health insurance, instead of being forced meekly to accept whatever their HR managers chose for them.
