With no cure to offer, China’s top health body has advised hospitals to use a range of treatments – including traditional Chinese medicine and “artificial lungs” – to tackle a deadly coronavirus. In guidelines published on Thursday afternoon, the National Health Commission advised that suspected cases be isolated. “Confirmed cases can be put in the […]
One of the strange features of the national health care conversation is how it has evolved. What is often referred to as Obamacare began as an attempt to insure the uninsured. In fact, the initial Congressional Budget Office estimates predicted the Affordable Care Act would be largely successful in doing just that. Yet it was […]
Think you’ll be better off if Congress outlaws your private health coverage and puts you on a new government-run health plan called “Medicare for All”? Over half of House Democrats and 14 senators, including Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., say you will. They promise that this massive change and disruption are worth it […]
Bernie Sanders was rushed to the hospital after an event in Las Vegas due to chest pains while he was at the Mandalay Bay shooting memorial. He was immediately rushed into surgery after being admitted to the emergency room to combat a blocked artery, his campaign has announced. The 78-year-old is said to be “conversing […]

That’s the way the question is usually framed in policy debates, but the great Nobel prize-winning […]
While millions of Americans were vacationing this summer, the seemingly impossible happened in Washington: On July 17, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), and Steve King (R-IA) all voted in favor of the same healthcare legislation. The bill in question, H.R. 748, sought to repeal the so-called “Cadillac Tax” imposed by the […]
MIDDLETOWN, Pennsylvania—Staffers who took down pro-union signs posted without authorization in their hospital were injured by staples “turned around backward” and “held in place by mustard,” nurses say.
