57 percent support federal government ensuring universal health care: survey
A majority of adults in a new survey said that they believe it is the job of the federal government to ensure health-care coverage for all Americans, but most also prefer a private health-care system over a government-run option.
The 57 percent of respondents supporting the idea that ensuring health-care coverage is the job of the federal government is the highest mark in Gallup’s polling since 2018. An overwhelming majority of Democrats share this view in the new survey, with...

Déjà vu all over again: Tea Party tactics and realpolitik
After the French Revolution, when the Bourbon regime was restored to power, the French statesman Charles Talleyrand remarked, “They learned nothing and they forgot nothing.” That may also be true of the Republican Party after Donald Trump.
The new Republican majority in the House of Representatives is hell-bent on revenge. Revenge for what? For eight years of Barack Obama and his hated Obamacare program. For Republican insiders who foisted establishment figures like George W. ...

Health Care — A key hurdle for over-the-counter naloxone
We should all try to be on our phones less, but not so much that we can’t be reached. This is the case for the rapper known as Ye, whose former lawyers want to run newspaper ads so he’s aware they’re not representing him anymore.

Is ‘defund the IRS’ the new ObamaCare repeal?
House Republicans kicked off the 118th session of Congress by fulfilling a campaign pledge to defund the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), seemingly in order to undermine the agency’s ability to audit the complex tax filings of millionaires and billionaires. The move that may well empower tax cheats is an opening gambit to what will likely be a years-long Republican effort to claw back the $80 billion appropriated in last year’s Inflation Reduction Act to modernize the IRS and empower it to...
Juan Williams: Will House Republicans push granny off a cliff or cut Pentagon waste?

The advertisement worked. President Obama won a second term, and Democrats added two Senate seats and eight seats in the House.
