GOP Senators Offer Plan to Cut Health Costs
Republican Sen.

Such a Deal
Last year, Donald Trump charged the pharmaceutical industry with “getting away with murder” for its profiteering off of Americans’ prescription drugs. Now that he’s released his “blueprint” for dealing with drug prices, it looks like he’s in on the deal. Wall Street was quick to cheer the Trump blueprint, unveiled on May 11. Right after it was announced, […]

HHS Issues Proposed Rules for Title X Providers
A proposed rule from the Trump administration to block family planning providers who receive Title X funding from making abortion referrals would still allow those providers to discuss information about abortions with patients who request information. Providers would not be allowed to share physical space or other resources, such as office staff, with an abortion provider. But they […]

Democrats Blast “Gag Rule” for Planned Parenthood
Women’s health and abortion provider Planned Parenthood has called the provision a “gag rule” that is similar to a policy introduced during the Reagan administration but not fully implemented, and Democrats agreed. The policy, which makes revisions to Title X family planning grants, also removes a prior mandate that doctors and healthcare providers refer patients […]

It’s Complicated
One of my favorite memes came from one of the telling absurdities uttered by Donald Trump: “Nobody knew healthcare could be so complicated.” In a functional administration (of any sort) when the top administrator becomes aware of their ignorance in an area, they would rely upon experts who can provide background, information, and guidance. It seems that […]
