Trump can shift the debate by focusing on two of his administration’s successes in seemingly unrelated areas—the push to get NATO allies to increase defense spending and Operation Warp Speed, writes @gracemarietweet

From @WSJopinion: Trump should build on his strengths during the debate—bolstering American industry, forcing other nations to pay their fair share and using government as a force for progress, writes @gracemarietweet on.wsj.com/3xoBcf2 on.wsj.com/3xoBcf2
The cost of prescription drugs is sure to be a topic during tonight's presidential debate. I have some suggestions in a Wall Street Journal piece today to shift from destructive and counterproductive price controls to 21st century solutions. wsj.com/articles/trumps-deba…

Prescription drugs are getting more attention, but the much more substantial drivers of high U.S. health care expenditures are hospital and doctor payments.

FACT: Dollar-wise, the U.S. tops the charts in #PrescriptionDrug spending.
CLOSER LOOK: The U.S. allocates a lower share of health care spending on drugs than most developed nations.

This is an important article by @Tyler2ONeil about Loudoun County’s completely new school board and ousted prosecutor.
🚨CLEAN SWEEP: With Soros prosecutor Buta Biberaj's conceding her reelection battle✔️, every leader involved in the botched response to the Loudoun girls' room rape is GONE. This horrific incident hypercharged the parental rights👨👩👧👦 movement.

Tomorrow's hearing entitled, "At What Cost: Oversight of How the IRA's Price Setting Scheme Means Fewer Cures for Patients" really says it all. Hopefully, @HouseCommerce members will acknowledge just how dangerous the #IRA is for patients. energycommerce.house.gov/eve…
The House votes today on a bill to lower health costs and increase price transparency. It would save Medicare $3.7B by making payments for drug administration “site neutral,” i.e., honest, to protect patients and taxpayers. @HouseCommerce @EdWorkforceCmte @WaysMeansGOP
This unfortunately is all too true...
There is no competition in healthcare.
Carriers are contracting with fewer private practices each year.
Health systems and carriers love working together.
One raises prices and the other benefits.
Remember, employers with more than 50 employees must provide healthcare benefits.
About 25% of health systems have their own insurance company.
See, it just gets better.
33 states ban competition outright through CON laws.
It’s a nice combo of red and blue states, so spare me the political crap that your party cares more.
Prices are virtually non-existent.
Health systems and hospitals are paid 3-5x private practice.
This gives hospitals the financial leverage to buy private practices and then reduce choice for patients.
Carriers and hospitals give more than $300,000,000 to lawmakers each and every year.
I give about $25,000 to various lawmakers working on healthcare policy each year.
Who wins that game?
Stop saying there is competition in healthcare.

Thank you @brian_blase for your hard work in creating a platform for Short-term Limited Duration health insurance plans. Millions of people deserve to have them protected. @Paragon_Inst
People have the right to use their own $ to buy health care & coverage that works best for them. Unfortunate that @POTUS seems poised to take coverage away from people and increase # without insurance. @mfcannon @rachel_roubein @DeanClancy @kerpen @philipaklein @CPopeHC
Patients and small businesses are at the center of health reform legislation that’s passed the House, offering more options for affordable care and coverage.

The problem with health care in America is Washington's micromanagement. Health care is too personal for centralized decision making. It saps innovation and buries doctors, hospitals, and patients in mountains of paperwork. We have a better idea. galen.org/2023/henry-is-wron…
Medicare will go broke even sooner if it only pays for "sickness care" and not for medications and other interventions that can help get and keep people well. @RealClearHealth realclearhealth.com/articles…
