Price-fixing Via Priority Vouchers

Posted on July 14, 2025 by Pieter Vorster

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced the Commissioner’s National Priority Voucher (CNPV) Program. The idea is to have a fast-track review – as short as one to two months compared to 10 to 12 on the usual timeline – for drugs that address one or more national priorities, such as pandemic preparedness, domestic manufacturing, national security, or serious unmet medical needs.

How the Wealthy Live

Posted on July 13, 2025 by Pieter Vorster

Wealthy Americans work as much as or more than the less affluent ones. They are just as likely to have jobs, work nearly the same number of hours each week and maintain a similar number of working weeks throughout the year.

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,
