Majority don’t understand what ‘Medicare for all’ means
Seven in ten registered voters say they support “Medicare for all,” according to a new Hill-HarrisX poll. Progressives believe the COVID-19 pandemic will only send those numbers higher.

Buy American Mandates Will Weaken Our Response To The Coronavirus
Forcing a restructuring of the current pharmaceutical supply chain is a terrible idea. Yet, as a recent Wall Street Journal editorial exemplifies, there is growing support for this ill-considered policy. And, these proposals are not simply mere academic musings.

How will big government California recover from the COVID-19 shutdowns?
Running a business in California, particularly a small one, is hard enough in ordinary times. Now the task has become impossible for many. If lawmakers don’t start making wholesale policy changes soon, the future will be more grim than the present. California is on its way to a $15 an ...

Coronavirus fight – Would ‘Medicare-for-all’ have improved US response to COVID-19?
The presidential campaign of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., may have ended, but his “Medicare-for-all” crusade marches on. Writing in The New York Times last week, Sanders argued that the coronavirus outbreak proved the government should take over our nation’s health care system.

Stop Calling Biden’s Radical Health Agenda ‘Moderate’
After a contentious primary, Joe Biden is the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. Earlier this month, Sen. Bernie Sanders has finally endorsed Biden, and the rest of the party is falling in line. Biden largely succeeded by positioning himself as a middle-of-the-road alternative to Sen.

Dr. Henry Miller in Wall Street Journal: A Coronavirus Vaccine: Faster, Please
Covid-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths are leveling off in hot spots like Seattle and New York. New infections should soon begin to decline, and many parts of the country will be able to start a phased return to “normal.” Yet without a vaccine, normality will look very different than it ...

Coronavirus lockdown unleashes potential of this form of medicine
Ninety-five percent of the country is currently under a stay-at-home order, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic. So for those in need of a check-up, or a prescription refill, or a quick look at some swelling around a child’s eye, a virtual visit to the doctor may be the best option. ...

It’s Past Time to Defund the World Health Organization
President Trump announced at the White House coronavirus press briefing on Tuesday that the United States will immediately halt all funding for the World Health Organization, because it had caused “so much death” by “severely mismanaging and covering up” the coronavirus’ spread, putting “political correctness over lifesaving measures.” Other government officials, health experts, and ...
