New RAND Paper Argues Government Control Of Health Care Pricing Will Reduce Costs Better Than Competition
Rather than making affordable health care reality, the Affordable Care Act sent costs for many privately-insured people up as much as 700 percent. The federal government allowed insurers to pass through their new losses to everyone else and even with that, many insurers fled states due to the program being insoluble.Perhaps the solution is not to have people pay 700 percent more, but to force hospitals to be transparent about costs. And that would mean more realistic pricing without a reduction in quality.

Imagine you hire a plumber and he needs to work on your plumbing and instead of coming over to fix that he sends his cousin who owns a lawn service.That is analogous to what is happening at EPA regarding a common herbicide (the second most popular in the U.S.) named atrazine.
There is nothing wrong with it scientifically, it is causing no harm, but EPA is still going to hand it over to a group like the US Fish and Wildlife Services and let them just decide whether or not it might harm endangered species. No science needed.
They are even blaming it for extinctions that occurred nearly 50 years ago.
The Forever War on Science story has been in development...forever...but this is the first time they introduced time travel.

In this case, looking back at the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic which killed far more than COVID-19.
Most Don’t Need Social Authoritarianism When It Comes To The Environment, Asking Works Just As Well
If a tourist doesn't know messing around with a coral reef is bad, they may try to touch them or pet turtles, but after being told by someone local that it has risks for the nature they are there to see they far less likely to do so.A new paper found that such "nudges" works well. Which would mean we often don't need government 'ignore of the law is no excuse' type shaming policies to change behavior.
