Sadly, after 34 years of service, the NCPA is closing its doors. Thanks to all who have supported us and helped us fight for free-markets.

South Charleston hospital to charge min of $8 upfront for non-emergent ER visit. (It will take more than $8 to dissuade ER walk-ins.) @NCPA xitter.cf/RDalyhealthcare/status…

That's an amusing take on the research. However, I suspect many hospitals would readmit dead patients if allowed to do so. @NCPA xitter.cf/doctorwes/status/88273…

An amazing "study" that proves, conclusively, that people sent to die don't get readmitted. Who knew?

Are those net jobs? Because we know biz will create more w/o mandate. If healthcare jobs go, that means cost control is working. Win! @NCPA xitter.cf/TopherSpiro/status/883…

I believe @SenTedCruz's amendment improves the Senate bill. It would let insurers sell non-ACA plans if they sold one Obamacare plan. @NCPA xitter.cf/afncwoodward/status/88…

There's something unseemly about doling out $200 bil in taxpayer money to do what Congress was sent to DC to do in the first place. @NCPA xitter.cf/mfcannon/status/883055…

Actually, most cases of anaphylactic shock & severe allergic reactions are in hospitals; from injected meds and scan contrast agents. @NCPA xitter.cf/RobertLehrer/status/88…

Health insurance contributes to high health expenditures. Yet bill seeks to lower premiums rather than health costs. Incompatible goal @NCPA xitter.cf/JoanneKenen/status/882…
Joanne Kenen@JoanneKenen6 Jul 2017
repeal bill targets high premiums - but not the $3.2 trillion the US spends on health care itself by me politi.co/2ssujCt #aca #BCRA

GOP promises lower health premiums but ignores all that’s driving them

Even if the party fulfills its vow to repeal Obamacare and reins in premiums for some people, the nation’s mounting costs are almost sure to pop out in other places.

Why is healthcare expensive? 3rd party payment distorts incentives. Example: Duke Univ hospital has 67% more billing clerks than beds @NCPA xitter.cf/RealClearHealth/status…
