Monday Links

Posted on February 5, 2024February 5, 2024 by John C. Goodman

Biden reverses course – reinstates Trump policies he initially cancelled.

Why can’t you have a televisit with a doctor in another state?

Cato is having an online forum on telehealth.

“The program’s stated goal is to “raise the nutrition levels of low-income households,” yet 40 percent of adult SNAP (food stamp) recipients suffer from obesity and almost 45 percent have received a diagnosis of diet-related disease — far higher rates than the general population.”

AEI against the House-passed tax bill: “A parent of multiple children with $20,000 of annual income would face an effective tax rate of 83 percent if they took a full-time job paying $40,000 per year.” But that’s because of the other means tested welfare benefits.

    Politicians seem to really love their tax traps/bubbles/cliffs. Social Security can easily change the 15 percent tax bracket into a 55.5 percent bracket. And being one dollar over an IRMAA cliff amounts to a 1,500,000 percent tax rate on that dollar.

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,
