    Joe Namath and William Shatner advertising for those dangerous Medicare Advantage HMOs that pay NOTHING when a sick senior goes to a non-network medical provider like the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN with a serious illness like cancer, SURPRISE. The MSA in Medicare is a gift from GOD because Republicans insisted seniors may use their choice of doctors and hospitals, it’s federal law. Senior couples don’t spend $6,000 annually for a Medicare Supplement plus on January 1st of each year they receive $6,000 in the MSA at the bank, all tax free. Seniors say it is a gift from GOD. John you say you are the father of MSAs but I wrote the 1st one so who really is the father. You NEVER talk about the MSA in Medicare and I have 30 Republicans running for Congress waiting for me to email them the OCTOBER SERPRISE, the MSA in Medicare available in 35 states in 2023. John you can’t mention the MSA in Medicare because Liberals shy away from the MSA like vampires to the cross.

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,
