In 2023, progress against physician-assisted suicide

January 10, 2024January 10, 2024 healthcare, News, Opinion

As we glance back at 2023, opponents of physician assisted suicide can reflect on a year marked by unwavering opposition and quiet victories in our fight. While the legislative landscape was busy with bills introduced in more than a dozen states, it has been more than two years since any new assisted suicide laws were enacted in the U.S.

These victories are not a sign of surrender by suicide proponents, but rather a sign of the persuasiveness of the arguments against it and th...

Matthews: The big ruse: Democrats now claim to be ‘values voters’

January 2, 2024January 2, 2024 News, Opinion

Wall Street Journal reporter Molly Ball recently published a story explaining how pro-abortion rights Democrats have “changed their message.” They are reaching into the conservative playbook and commandeering terms that have long been associated with the center-right movement. As the article’s subtitle says: “Supporters of abortion access have emphasized ‘freedom’ and ‘values’ in successful campaigns in red-leaning states, with more to come in 2024.”

Six Americans who left lasting legacies in 2023

December 31, 2023December 30, 2023 News, Opinion

“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.”

While Allen is quite unlikely to get his wish, many other Americans should live on through their good works, inspiring their countrymen. Here are six of them, some better known than others, who died in 2023.

A champion of better treatment for “mentally a...

Fee-for-service healthcare is making us sick

December 27, 2023December 27, 2023 healthcare, News, Opinion

More than 1.3 billion adults globally will have diabetes by 2050, according to a study released this year. In the U.S., our current health system — which is structured around treatment, not prevention — is woefully unprepared to deal with this reality.

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...

The Inflation Reduction Act’s harms go beyond drug pricing — they’re threatening your Medicare

December 23, 2023December 22, 2023 healthcare, News, Opinion

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.

Yes, Democrats have finally achieved their holy grail of being able to have the government set drug prices, and President Biden will certainly campaign ...

The House just passed a long-needed health care price transparency measure

December 13, 2023December 13, 2023 healthcare, News, obamacare, Opinion

When I was pregnant with my second child, in the years following the passage of the Affordable Care Act, I went to the doctor for routine prenatal testing. Despite promises to the contrary, I had lost several health insurance plans during those years, and at least one while pregnant. At the doctor that day, my new deductible was so high that I paid full freight up-front for all my care.

The practice offered me two tests — one a new-fangled version of the old test. Wh...

On ObamaCare, Trump just dropped the ball

December 11, 2023December 11, 2023 ACA, Donald Trump, News, obamacare, Opinion

One of the biggest unforced errors in pro sports history occurred in 1986, when Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner let a grounder roll between his legs. This 10th inning misstep allowed the Mets to survive and force game seven of that year's World Series. They won, and the Red Sox, who had been just one strike away from a World Series victory, had to wait another 18 years.

Former President Trump is having a Bill Buckner moment in his presidential campaign.
