“I do not want to achieve immortality through my work,” Woody Allen once wrote. “I want to achieve immortality by not dying. I don’t want to live on in the hearts of my countrymen. I want to live on in my apartment.”

For over 150 years, the U.S. healthcare infrastructure has centered on symptoms, doctors and treatments — not on patients. From our data collection to our systems design and payment models, it’s more profitable to treat sick pat...

Why Trump can’t stop attacking the Affordable Care Act
Donald Trump has little to gain from his incessant attacks on the ACA. It’s worth considering why the Republican is keeping the offensive going anyway.
Ranking Biden’s campaign trail star surrogates
President Biden’s reelection campaign has deployed high-profile surrogates across the country to give him all the help he can get ahead of 2024.
The president’s persistently low approval rating has raised concerns among Democrats over his ability to win in November — possibly in a rematch against former President Trump.
To help Biden, his campaign will be relying on allies to raise enthusiasm among Democrats and get out the vote.
Here is a ranking of Biden’...

Frustration builds around Biden amid negative poll numbers
Frustration that President Biden is trailing former President Trump in polls despite a growing economy is building at the White House.
Biden’s approval ratings have been low for more than a year, but recent polls have found him trailing Trump, the front-runner for the GOP presidential nomination, in a head-to-head match-up and in key swing states.
Biden saw his approval rating hit a new low of 34 percent in a Monmouth University poll released Monda...
The Inflation Reduction Act’s harms go beyond drug pricing — they’re threatening your Medicare
The Inflation Reduction Act’s drug price-setting provisions have drawn significant rebuke from experts who argue that many clinical programs will ultimately be killed or never get started as a result of the act’s deleterious effects on innovation. What isn’t getting attention is how the law is reshaping Medicare in big ways.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), who has angered liberal Democrats with his unequivocal pro-Israel position, said he no longer considers himself a progressive and thinks people on both the far right and left are wishing he would die.
Fetterman suffered a near-fatal stroke in May 2022 during his campaign, which he previously said changed everything about his life. The senator, who was once considered a progressive champion, has long drawn criticism from Republicans for his stances....
