A Group Of Doctors Just Asked Columbia To Reconsider Dr. Oz's Faculty Appointment
A group of doctors has had enough of Dr. Oz. On Wednesday, 10 physicians, surgeons, and professors from across the country signed a letter — addressed to Columbia's dean of medicine — calling the medical school's affiliation with its most famous employee "unacceptable"
Fear Of Doctors, Vaccines In California And Around The World
Modern society deeply depends on doctors. Which is why recent international reactions against doctors – from mistrust to outright attack – represent a disturbing trend that can not only lead to an immediate threat to global health workers but also precipitate that all-feared outbreak of an uncontrollable epidemic.
Substitution In Nicotine Consumption
If the FDA regulates, it will not be to make e-cigarettes more available. It will be to make them more costly, either in terms of accessibility or in terms of price, or both. If so, the FDA regulation will slow this healthy substitution away from more-toxic substances.
Genetic Technology And Its Potential For Good And Evil
We don’t need a moratorium. We need to push the frontiers of medicine to cure more patients.
The Sixth Circuit’s Ruling on the Individual Mandate
The 'Commerce Clause Mandate'
4 Rules for Replacing Obamacare
Republicans are in a strong position as the midterm election approaches. They are nearly certain to retain control of the House of Representatives in the next Congress and may pick up a few seats to add to their majority. They are also poised to make gains in the Senate, perhaps even adding the six seats necessary to take control of the upper chamber—and maybe more.
Win Or Lose, The Affordable Care Act Has Federalized Health Care Forever
Writing about President Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society” of the 1960s, which triggered an avalanche of new federal programs, political scientist James Q. Wilson rightly said that one thing LBJ accomplished was lowering the “legitimacy barrier” to federal action.
Republicans Need A Nudge To Lower Health Care Costs
Republicans in Congress and the Trump administration repealed the penalties associated with the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate in the tax act that passed in December. Now they need to replace the mandate with something that will address rising premiums and command broader support. Automatic enrollment into health insurance plans is a good place to start.
The Supreme Court Should Make Politics Local Again
With President Trump in the Oval Office, liberals who sought broad national powers during the Obama years have discovered the virtues of federalism. On issues from immigration to the environment to drug policy, they rely on states’ rights to chart a path at odds with that of Washington, D.C.
The Constitutionality Of Federal Mask Mandates
With COVID-19 exploding in states across the nation, the clamor for a federal mask mandate has correspondingly grown.
Three Obamacare Tweaks That Both Parties Can Love
The Republican loss of the House last November brought an official end (at least through 2020) to the party’s long campaign to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. The Democrats, despite their new majority, won’t be able to pass their health care agenda either, because the Republican president and Senate will block it.
Yes, There’s Hope For Health Care Reform
The political divide over the insurance provisions of the Affordable Care Act looks to be unbridgeable for now, but out of public view, Republicans and Democrats are quietly forging a consensus on an even more consequential aspect of medical care: improving its value for all Americans by increasing its quality and lowering its cost.
Lanhee Chen on the John Batchelor Show (30:05)
One Nation Under A Groove
In the final episode of the series for 2020, Hoover senior fellows Niall Ferguson, H. R. McMaster, and John Cochrane reflect on lessons learned from the pandemic, Donald Trump’s future, the ruinous state of the Golden State, how society will differ in 2021, plus what gets them through their daily routines—a mixtape of UK punk, Philly-brand funk, and the soothing sounds of “Sweet Baby James” Taylor.

A Market-Based Contingency Plan For King V. Burwell
If the Supreme Court rules in favor of the plaintiffs in the King v. Burwell case, Congress will have the opportunity to advance health care policies that expand consumer choice, increase coverage, deliver better value for the dollar, and allow state governments more say over health care policy.
The Senate Should Build Automatic Enrollment Into Health Reform. Here’s How.
As the discussion over the future of health reform continues in the United States Senate, some Republicans are looking for ways to boost coverage levels, help stabilize insurance markets, and lower health costs. For years, the U.S. has had insurance enrollment levels below what was possible because of lower than desirable take-up of existing options.
Making Health Insurance Enrollment As Automatic As Possible (Part 2)
In December 2017, the Republican Congress, working with the Trump administration, repealed the tax penalties enforcing the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) individual mandate, effective in 2019. Although the degree of the mandate’s efficacy is uncertain, its repeal is sure to lead to additional Americans going without coverage, exacerbating the instability that now affects the individual insurance markets of many states.
Medicare Reforms Both Parties Can Live With
Last year’s war on Capitol Hill over repealing Obamacare might suggest that when it comes to health care, Democrats and Republicans can’t agree on anything. But we think that’s too simplistic.
