Thursday Links

Posted on May 9, 2024May 8, 2024 by John C. Goodman

Can skipping meals give you a longer, healthier life?

Why low-skilled immigration helps the economy.

Q & A on “suicide clusters,” an abnormal increase in suicides (usually among teenagers) in a short period of time. Good questions; disappointing answers.

Parents can use IVF to select the sex of their baby. That’s illegal in almost every other country.

Can mental health counselling make kids worse off?

Could your personalized AI be called on to testify against you?

    Telling children, You have a mental problem! How could that hurt?

    “It’s creating this message that teenagers are vulnerable, they’re likely to have problems, and the solution is to outsource them to a professional,” said Dr. Foulkes

    Dan Gable said – I never feared getting beat, which is how most people lose.

    Devon Herrick’s wife has a mental problem, and the proof is she stayed married to that lying loser.

    Devon’s “Brief History of HSAs” disregards America’s 7-year “Original Pilot Test” of tax-free Medical Savings Accounts (MSA) in the United States and discusses Singapore instead; I’m not kidding. Does Singapore have Employer-Sponsored Insurance (ESI)? Let me help you: NO!

    TIME Insurance Company from Milwaukee, America’s oldest health insurance company, was the first to market tax-free MSAs. I know this because Ben Cutler, who merged HIAA into AHIP as CEO, gave me the award at the Old Paris Opera in 1996. I had 3 out of the first 5 Devon, a 60% market share.

    Remember when I told you back then that you were fake news? Remember when I said a better title would have been “A Brief History of Time?”

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,
