This topic became an issue for me because of my dog Clementine. I recently wrote about her experience at the veterinarian. She had surgery for bladder stones, but the surgery did not resolve her problems. We took her back twice more, finally getting a referral to a specialist. A veterinary internal medicine specialist did a very thorough examination costing nearly $1,500. The pathology report found cancer that had metastasized.

The state’s odds improve if the state’s odds improve if it exempts non-nutritious items from its food stamp program, if it rolls back or eliminates certificate of need laws, and if it avoids Biden-type restrictions on short-term, limited duration heath insurance.

- AEI: “What is a fair contribution? If the enhanced subsidies expire, the premium for a family of four earning $75,000 per year will rise to $5,865 – which is $3,368 more than if they are extended. To be sure, that family would feel the increase. But according to my calculations, average annual US health-care spending per household is around $37,000. From this perspective, that family may be getting a good deal.”
