    Re the MAHA article, what is the mythic MAHA? What does this mean: “[MAHA] implies that public health agencies are completely controlled by pharma, which is simply false.” What does “completely” mean? If control is less than “complete,” how much control is OK? Nothing here in the way of constructive reform proposals. What motivated you to run it? Your website is so good, that is why I keep commenting when you don’t live up to high standards.

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,
