  • Colorado gets permission to include a public option in its (Obamacare) exchange. But as Ed Haislmaier and I showed, this won’t matter as long as the playing field is level.
  • Buprenorphine is highly effective at preventing overdoses and treating opioid use disorder; but enrollees in Medicaid managed care rarely see a doctor who prescribes it.  Even so, that’s better than regular Medicaid.
  • Another article on medical debt, missing Devon Herrick’s point that Obamacare is the reason for its rise.
  • Responding to the Roe decision, Matt Holt completely loses it. Lesson for us all: don’t write blog posts when you are having a temper tantrum.
  • If housing is a health care issue, should Medicaid pay the rent?

    HHS says it doesn’t have time to review itself.

  • House panel attacks Scott Atlas. The problem: Atlas was right and the critics were wrong.
  • More Covid fraud: As much as 20% of funds for small business may have gone to scammers.
  • Paragon Health study: make HSAs an option in Obamacare.
  • What if the government stopped paying 80% of the premium for higher income folks? 3 million would stop buying the insurance.

    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,
