Medicare

The Virginia General Assembly’s decision to expand the state’s already costly Medicaid program will have widespread effects on the state’s health care market

A “right to healthcare” is a seductive idea that many Americans accept without thinking. But we need to take a closer look at what this means.

The kickback scheme created by the “safe harbor” is directly responsible for drug shortages and price hikes because it has destroyed the economic incentive to produce many critical life-saving medicines.

The other day a reporter asked me to explain why the government cannot negotiate the price of Medicare drugs lower than private drug plans run by pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs).

Too many politicians are willing to fleece taxpayers for political gain.

For years, doctors, patients and lawmakers have rightly complained federal rules and regulations make it all but impossible for states to reform and innovate Medicaid.

Congress has failed to pass a replacement of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and Obamacare’s collapse is inevitable. To protect their citizens, state lawmakers should take the lead in passing free-market health care reforms.

We less government types have all along the way opposed the ridiculous policy known as Network Neutrality. For a whole host of rational, reasonable free market and free speech reasons.

What does the term “single-payer” even mean? It’s Inside the Beltway jargon to describe a government monopoly over health care.

Time is running out to stop Medicaid’s “Pac-Man Apocalypse,” but it’s not unavoidable.  The best time to reform Medicaid was yesterday, but the second-best time to do so is now.

Generic drugs make up about 88 percent of prescriptions filled in the United States, providing generally low-cost relief for the overwhelming majority of Americans who are presently afflicted with a variety of health-related maladies.

Medicaid used to be the program providing health care and medical services to the poor. Before Obamacare, Medicaid covered primarily poor retirees, children in poor families, and the disabled living in poverty — the “truly needy.”

As Congress struggles to do something about the ObamaCare disaster, Senators may be getting calls pleading, “Don’t take my healthcare away!”
