    I occasionally wonder what would happen if there was a sudden major advancement in longevity research. Would it be banned or buried somehow, in order to protect Social Security and Medicare Part A? Presumably parts B and D would be of less concern, with people paying premiums longer before their final illness.

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,
