“A Total Unmitigated Disaster for the Economy and for Freedom” In a damning piece in The Freeman William L. Anderson explains why the healthcare plan will be our country’s Munich. “There is nothing good to say about a new law that is going to raise taxes to confiscatory levels...

It would be foolish to assume that just because a product or a need for a service exists, that any entity can do it well. For instance, you wouldn't get a company that specialized in demolition to build your house. Nor would you contract with an exterminator to have your yard landscaped. Likewise...

I raised my children to be colorblind. I took no pride in doing so other than the pride I took in teaching them to walk and eat. In fact, you don't teach colorblindness. You teach racism. At the appropriate age, I sent my children to school. There, they interacted with black and white on an equal...

As an outsider observer, it disturbs me a bit that protest marches are becoming more popular in the US. This reflects a wider disconnection between people and their government. In my Venezuelan case these kinds of marches have occurred nonstop since the very beginning of this twenty-first century and...

The old joke goes something like this: How can you tell a politician is lying? Easy. His lips are moving. While elected officials have contributed mightily to our perception of their honesty they are not entirely responsible for their reputation. Having been an athlete for many years on all three sides...

Dinosaurs were big. They were the largest land creatures to ever walk the Earth. The largest were nearly a hundred feet long. But as large as they were there is a good reason they didn't get any bigger. In fact, there is an absolute limit to the size an Earth-bound creature can grow without collapsing...

I suppose that in a perfect world everyone would have access to healthcare. Well, then I guess the United States is as close to perfect as anywhere because everyone here has access to healthcare.

When arguing against the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act last year, I wrote If discrimination based on comprehensive genetic screening is legal, we can expect health providers to tailor plans according to our individual risk factors.

The other day my wife and I were in the supermarket. I walked over to the soup aisle to buy my favorite Campbell's soup. Unfortunately, I arrived to an empty shelf. All of the other soups were there except my favorite. Why? It was on sale. The shelf was totally empty...not one can! Naturally, I was...

Have you seen the AARP’s latest ad campaign ? It shows a series of children who urge us to take action on the “five core needs” of AARP: “the need for health; the need for financial security; the need to contribute or give back to society; the need for community and to stay connected to family, friends...
