We would still like healthcare reform legislation to succeed this year — but we are not nearly as enthusiastic about it as we were just a few short months ago.
For starters, the Obama Administration isn’t calling it “healthcare reform” anymore. Now it’s “health insurance reform.”
Reformers have lowered their sights. They aren’t trying to [...]

July 20th, 2009 · No Comments
Did you ever see “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”? Well, I’d like to report the snatching of two bodies — those of Harry and Louise. As our friend John Mack reports:
Remember those Health Insurance Association of America “Harry and Louise” TV ads that were instrumental in scuttling Hillary Clinton’s health reform efforts in [...]

Say goodbye to the drug reimportation bill
July 19th, 2009 · 6 Comments
When the winner in a Monday Night Football game became obvious in the fourth quarter, ’70s color commentator Don Meredith used to warble, “Turn out the lights, the party’s over, we know that all good things must end…”
I’m afraid it may be time to turn out the lights — perhaps forever — on legalized [...]

White House bargain with Big Pharma may leave Canadian pharmacies in the cold
July 10th, 2009 · 3 Comments

Does Big Pharma actually enjoy the Canadian pharmacies debate?
July 9th, 2009 · 4 Comments

Ron Paul on prescription drug reimportation
July 9th, 2009 · 2 Comments
You might be surprised to know that there are 15 physicians in Congress — more than I would have expected. It would be nice to think that these doctors could provide clarity and insight on healthcare issues — perhaps even drive the debate over reform. The reality, unfortunately, is that they generally toe [...]
