Friday Links

Posted on June 17, 2022July 25, 2022 by John C. Goodman

AMA To FDA: Allow OTC Birth Control Pill. Something we have favored for years, but don’t stop there!

AMA rejects economics: calls for a higher minimum wage. (Pardon us for thinking that the OTC position was based on sound economic reasoning.)

How manufacturers manipulate the rules to avert competition from generic competitors – the case of asthma inhalers.

How Biden’s policies have undermined his previous vice presidential goal of a “moon shot” to eradicate cancer.

    I wrote about OTC birth control back in 2015.
    “Prices often fall dramatically when prescription drugs move to over-the-counter status.”

For many years, our health care blog was the only free enterprise health policy blog on the internet. Then, when the NCPA closed its doors, the health blog stopped as well.

During this five-year hiatus no one else has come forward to claim the space. So, my colleagues and I have decided to restart the blog in connection with the Goodman Institute. We invite you and others to use this forum to share your views.

John C. Goodman,
