Biden ’ s Nov 9th speech: “Don’t you force me to pass Medicare 4 All”
By MATTHEW HOLT The new Supreme Court, in all likelihood including just nominated Justice Amy Coney Barrett, will be hearing the California v Texas suit against the ACA on November 10th, seven days after the election. The lower courts have already ruled the ACA unconstitutional. Some hopeful moderates among my Democratic friends seem to believe that the justices will show cool heads, and not throw out the ACA. But it’s worth remembering that in the NFIB vs. Sebelius decision which confirmed the legitimacy of most of the ACA back in 2011 all the conservative justices with the exception of John Roberts voted to ...

The Medical AI Floodgates Open, at a Cost of $1000 per Patient
By LUKE OAKDEN-RAYNER In surprising news this week, CMS (the Centres for Medicare & Medicaid Services) in the USA approved the first reimbursement for AI augmented medical care.

What if Politicians Are the Biggest Medical Supply Chain Risk?
Scott LincicomeThe onset of COVID-19 has amplified public concerns about the supposed fragility of global supply chains, and fueled proposals on the left and the right to boost supply chain “resiliency” through government policies (subsidies, tariffs, “Buy American” mandates, etc.) that are intended encourage the domestic production of essential goods, especially pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Indeed, such “re‐​shoring” plans are one of the few issues on which bot hPresident Trump and Democratic challengerJoe Biden agree. A  lengthy new McKinseyreport on global supply chains, however, shows just how ...

Federal Aid Creates Central ‐​Planning Power
This study argues that Congress should repeal all federal aid-to-state programs for many reasons, including that aid comes with costly strings attached that destroy local democracy.Richard Epstein and Mario Loyolanoted about aid programs: “When Americans vote in state and local elections, they think they are voting on state and local policies. But often they are just deciding which local officials get to implement the dictates of distant and insulated federal bureaucrats, whom even Congress can’t control.”I came across a table (p. 82) in New Jersey ’s budget that lists the $15 billion the state received in 2020 fro...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, August 24th 2020
We report that electrical stimulation (ES) stimulation of post-stroke aged rats led to an improved functional recovery of spatial long-term memory (T-maze), but not on the rotating pole or the inclined plane, both tests requiring complex sensorimotor skills. Surprisingly, ES had a detrimental effect on the asymmetric sensorimotor deficit. Histologically, there was a robust increase in the number of doublecortin-positive cells in the dentate gyrus and SVZ of the infarcted hemisphere and the presence of a considerable number of neurons expressing tubulin beta III in the infarcted area. Among the genes that were unique...

Error and Spin in Wall Street Journal Budget Article
Chris EdwardsTheWall Street Journalhas published a biased news story regarding state budgets. The piece by Kate Davidson and David Harrison reflects only Keynesian thinking, exaggerates the plight of governments, and only quotes analysts in favor of more federal bailouts.Here are some of the problematic aspects of the piece:“State and local governments spent or invested $2.33 trillion in 2019.” That statement is false. The $2.33 figure is the state‐​local portion of GDP (BEA Table 1.1.5). But total state ‐​local spending and investment in 2019 was $3.1 trillion (BEA Table 3.3).“Michael Strain, director o...

Redefining Values in American Health Care
By RICHARD HOEHN, MD Experts claim we could have been better prepared when the COVID-19 pandemic struck in early 2020. With an annual budget of $400-700 million, the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) is designed to respond to chemical, biological, and other disasters. Its $8 billion inventory included 13,000 ventilators and a limited supply of personal protective equipment, N95 masks, and medical supplies. This left state and local governments scrambling as the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated and the capacity of many hospitals was overwhelmed. Faced with immediate and visible death and suffering, leaders took drastic...

How Strict Would “Strict Scrutiny” Be Online?
John SamplesMy lastpost set out the case that the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) offered strong protections to online speech on social media. Let ' s turn now to assessing that case. That case depended on Article 19 of the ICCPR which established both a broad right to free speech and a tripartite test for restrictions on speech by governments. Some have argued that the vagueness prong of the tripartite test would invalidate many “hate speech” restrictions. Let’s imagine social media companies adopt ICCPR in total. Would Article 19’s tripartite testin fact invalidate restrictions on spe...
