Study: physician assisted suicide is at least the fifth-leading cause of death in Canada.

It’s more common for people in rural areas to die earlier than urban residents from things like heart disease, cancer and stroke.

If a doctor followed the preventive care checklist recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (services everyone is entitled to for free by Obamacare legislation)  it would take 8.6 of the doctor’s hours each day – leaving no time to do anything else.

60% of baby and toddler food doesn’t meet nutrition standards.

The US approach replaces more than 73 percent of pre-retirement earnings for average workers (with Social Security plus pension income), significantly higher than the OECD average of 55.3 percent.

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,
