Democrats are very worried that a third-party presidential candidate backed by the group No Labels could cost Joe Biden the 2024 presidential election — handing victory to the Republican candidate, possibly former President Donald Trump. Democrats are right to be worried … but Republicans should be worried too.
Although third-party candidates are fairly common in U.S. presidential elections — as well as other federal and state elections — they seldom have much of an effect on ...

Direct e-file won’t make filing taxes any easier — but it could make things worse
As the Internal Revenue Service contends with a cut of over $21 billion in the debt-ceiling deal, it should focus on cost-efficient ways to maintain and improve our vital taxation system. It should not spend billions to replace vital processes already in existence with a direct e-file system that would compromise a significant portion of taxpayer personal privacy.
The U.S. tax code for individuals may be the most complicated system in the world. Many have long advocated for si...

Biden wants to torpedo short-term health insurance
While campaigning for the presidency in 2019, Joe Biden assured voters that he would not eliminate private health insurance plans. He even told an audience in Iowa, “If you have private insurance, you can keep it” — a risky echo of President Barack Obama's 2013 "Lie of the Year."
But over the Independence Day weekend, the Biden administration announced a new rule that would severely restrict Americans from purchasing short-term, limited-duration insurance...

Biden’s new plan threatens health coverage for more than half a million people
On Friday, President Biden proposed new health insurance regulations. A good analogy for describing them would be that they are the health insurance equivalent of forcing automakers to rip the airbags and seat belts out of their new cars.
Biden’s proposal would eliminate consumer protections, throw sick patients out of their health insurance, and leave them to face sky-high medical bills without insurance for up to one year. ...
As the climate crisis intensifies, HHS refuses to do its part
In January I argued the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) appeared uninterested in mitigating the healthcare industry’s massive carbon footprint. To appreciate how massive, if every nation emitted our healthcare system’s per capita rate of greenhouse gases (GHGs), the total would approximate the entire global carbon budget to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2030.
