Trump’s Health Care Plan Just Got Scarier

Ronald Reagan famously said that the nine most terrifying words in the English language are: “I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help.” As Obamacare has demonstrated all too clearly, any such declaration from a federal official is indeed cause for alarm.

Trump Is No Friend of Free Market Health Care

Most of Donald Trump’s public statements include the rote declaration that Obamacare is a disaster. This is true, of course, but it doesn’t tell us anything new.
