Did Medical Darwinism Doom the GOP Health Plan?
By MICHAEL L. MILLENSON
“We are now contemplating, Heaven save the mark, a bill that would tax the well for the benefit of the ill.”
Although the quote reads like it could be part of the Republican repeal-and-replace assault against the Affordable Care Act (ACA), it’s actually from a 1949 editorial in The New York State Journal of Medicine denouncing health insurance itself.
Indeed, the attacks on the ACA seem to have revived a survival-of-the-fittest attitude most of us thought had vanished in America long ago. Yet, again and again, there it was in plain sight, as when House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) declared: “T...

Nature vs Nurture
By, SAURABH JHA MD
My wife chooses sides in the nature-versus-nurture war expeditiously. When our children are polite, she credits her nurture. When they’re rowdy, she blames my genes. But the nature-nurture war won’t be resolved anytime soon.
The gene played a significant role in the great Indian epic, the Mahabharata. Karna, abandoned by his mother, Kunti, and raised by a charioteer, was taught warfare by Parashurama, a gifted teacher with a fiery temperament, who despised warriors and only taught Brahmins.
One day, Parashurama was asleep with his head on Karna’s lap. Karna was bitten by a scorpion but d...

Could California Become a Model for the Single Payer Movement?
By ABIGAIL HAYES
With concern rising that a Republican alternative to Obamacare could fail to adequately cover pre-existing conditions (“Eight billion won’t even begin to cover it,” one Washington insider told THCB late this week) and will likely sharply cut benefits for Medicaid recipients, a number of states are preparing contingency plans. Some are preparing legal challenges. In California, progressives are once again laying the groundwork for a single payer system.
Could it happen? And could California serve as a model for other states?
California, the largest state in the union by population and...

Improve Medicaid with these simple steps
Recently, the Republicans’ health insurance bill was withdrawn, partly because of some Senators’ fear of underfunding Medicaid. The media and Democrats have clearly identified Medicaid as a wedge issue that divides Republicans. Unfortunately, those Republicans that have chosen to support conventional Medicaid, as opposed to supporting a much-needed revamp of this program, have succumbed to false advertisements. So let me review some facts, and suggest some common sense changes that will bring medical care to the poor and disabled, as well as those that are at the low end of the income spectrum.

Single Payer Is Not The Solution To The Problem Of Uninsured Americans
For years, some Democrats have proposed a “single payer” or “Medicare for all” health system as the solution to the problem of millions of Americans going without health insurance coverage. Lack of coverage is a serious problem that must be corrected by government action, but “political control” single payer (as opposed to market control) is not the answer. If single payer means that all health care providers should be paid by the same government entity, this would probably mean a continuation of the current and all-too-pervasive open-ended uncoordinated fee-for-service system, with resource allocation and pric...
