What the campaigns aren’t saying about healthcare
During last week’s vice presidential debate, Sen. Kamala Harris had a stern warning about the Trump administration’s healthcare agenda: “If you have a preexisting condition, they’re coming for you.” In response, Vice President Mike Pence called Obamacare a “disaster” — and moved on. It was a missed opportunity to explain ...

Putting A Mirror Up To Obamacare
The confirmation hearings for Amy Coney Barrett begin today and Democrats are up in arms. In a recent speech, Joe Biden warned that Barrett’s confirmation would jeopardize the Affordable Care Act. The U.S. Supreme Court will hear a case that seeks to invalidate the law one week after Election Day. A final ruling will ...

State lawmakers hurt charter schools, online learning with funding deal
The 2020-21 state budget signed back in June by Gov. Newsom glaringly failed to fund regular public schools and public charter schools with growing enrollments. A purported “fix” to this problem, pushed by the governor and Democratic legislators, turns out to be just more Sacramento smoke and mirrors. The budget ...

Import German drug prices to the United States? Nein, danke
President Trump recently issued a blitz of executive orders in an attempt to fulfill his promise to reduce drug prices. One of those orders would put in place a “cure” far worse than the disease. The order in question establishes foreign reference pricing, whereby the federal government ties its reimbursement rates for ...

During COVID-19 pandemic, blue states defund online charter schools
As the COVID-19 pandemic keeps many regular public schools closed, it should be a no-brainer that states would fund online public charter schools, which specialize in delivering instruction through distance-learning tools. Shockingly, however, some blue states are actually defunding these online charters. In California, the legislature’s Democrat-supermajority passed an education ...
