Health Care

Dietary supplements could save billions in health care costs. Eating right could save even more.

This HHS tech surge to fix website problems won't work. Throwing people at the problem causes problems. It doesn't solve them.

Description of the government bureaucracy inside the doctor's office.

Kasich has some panel expand Medicaid in Ohio.

"By a 5-2 vote, an obscure committee, the Controlling Board, which normally oversees relatively small adjustments to the state budget, accepted $2.5 billion in extra Medicaid funds from the federal government. The money, recently approved by Medicaid administrators in Washington, will provide coverage for 275,000 Ohioans who have not been eligible for the program, the Kasich administration said.

The vote was an extraordinary — and possibly illegal, critics in Mr. Kasich’s own party said — end run by the governor around the General Assembly. Mr. Kasich, who initially declared himself an opponent of the Affordable Care Act and who has declined to set up a state online health insurance marketplace, has argued all year that his sense of Christian compassion, not to mention cool economic practicality, favored extending Medicaid to poor adults and those with disabilities who do not currently qualify."

I don't think stealing people's money can be called Christian compassion.
