Analysis | The Health 202: There are silent skeptics of Jayapal's Medicare-for-all measureOnly 7 of 42 House Democrats who flipped GOP-held districts in 2018 are co-sponsoring the measure. It's crazy to me that Republican Senators are now saying that we can't believe Cohen because he lied when THEY called him as THEIR witness. So this means they're publicly admitting that THEIR witnesses lied FOR THEM at THEIR HEARINGS when they were testifying in favor of Trump. Are the silent skeptics silent bcoz of identity politics? I’m against Medicare for all because it mandates that 180 million people who get health care through their employer to lose their coverage against their free choice. This is unamerican & antitheticAl to the first amendment.

Analysis | The Health 202: 'There is no story I think they can tell that would justify the price increases.'Analysis: There’s no doubt members of Congress will grill pharmaceutical executives in today’s landmark hearing on spiking drug prices. What will be fascinating is how the drugmakers try to defend actions that many have called indefensible. Repubs all claim that more competition would fix this. Maybe there are certain industries, like healthcare & pharma, that don’t fit such a model. No one wants to really answer why European healthcare is cheaper & some ways better... Big Pharma execs should leave in chains This will amount to nothing more than a suggestion to big pharma that they need to increase their campaign donations.

Perspective | Did ICE ignore health and safety standards for jailed immigrants?ICE fined operators twice, despite 14,000 “deficiencies,” the DHS inspector general found. They should ignore them completely. ICE has no lawful power unless used to cool a soft drink.

Powell isn’t wrong — U.S. health spending is almost off the chartsFederal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell on Tuesday exhibited the restraint that he’s known for in being wary to lecture Senate lawmakers about matters outside of his purview. But the one area where Powell just couldn’t resist was on health care. 30 bars on the chart matching up to 15 countries, pretty nifty analysis This is a problem that can be solved with larger charts The very definition of 'healthcare' varies between countries. As a Frenchman I can tell you you're comparing apple to oranges with this chart as far as France is concerned.

Will An Appeals Court Make The EPA Ban A Pesticide Linked To Serious Health Risks?EPA scientists recommended a total ban on the pesticide chlorpyrifos. But in 2017, Trump's EPA administrator at the time decided against that. Now, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will decide whether to make the agency ban it. We're so behind other countries who have already determined that their citizens' health should come before profit. Let's hope the court gets it. But they just believe both sides of the dangerous chemicals science. tRump’s “EPA” administrators are extremely not qualified for their job description. Compare it to El Chapo heading the DEA. We don’t have an EPA within the tRump administration. It’s only use is for exploiting our environment for financial gain.
