Wednesday Links

Posted on April 3, 2024April 2, 2024 by John C. Goodman

Cancer phobia: In 2017, 21.3 million American women had cancer screening tests even though they were outside the age ranges for recommended screening. 10.1 million men outside the recommended age ranges had a PSA test. 

People with Obamacare health insurance are being switched to other plans without their knowledge or consent by rogue agents.

Why are expensive cancer treatments excluded from Medicare’s price negotiations?

Henry Miller: “The vaccines saved 2.9 million lives, prevented 12.5 million hospitalizations, and saved $500 billion in hospitalization.”

    “…the expected 5-year economic losses to an individual choosing not to receive boosters rises from $654 at age 30 to more than $65,000 at age 75.”
    The economic cost of me _receiving_ the original vaccine was around $20,000, about 90 percent of which was paid by my insurer. I’ve never had the actual disease to my knowledge, but I don’t know whether to credit the vaccine or not.

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,
