Some doctors make more money from drug-testing patients than they than do for treating them, despite Medicare’s push to limit over-testing.

New federal audits find that insurers often “inappropriately reject” the claims of Medicare enrollees. As long as our health care remains as expensive as it is, on-the-ground restrictions will continue to make insurance programs provide access in name only.

Under the ACA’s Medicaid expansion, state governments are now charging the program’s users a unprecedented premium. These premiums are a example of how expanding coverage before controlling costs will only shift, not eliminate, the distortions blocking health care access for many Americans.

America’s near-limitless demand for more health care is behind our cost crisis. Cost-cutting government bureaucrats can’t solve this; only a true health-care market can.

The Department of Health and Human Services is investigating several blood testing labs across the country for paying doctors extra fees for processing and handling drawn blood. This is a victory against incentivizing doctors to over-treat, but many more such incentives still plague our health care system.

Actuaries at the Center of Medicaid and Medicare Services now think the celebrated health care slowdown will begin to reverse itself. But whether they are right or wrong, U.S. healthcare is still badly in need of reform.

A new CBO report finds that the health care slowdown could give Medicare six more years of life. But this very limited piece of good news is further complicated by the fact we have no idea what caused it.

The Hobby Lobby case, pitting religious liberty against subsidized contraception, will likely be only the first instance of a semi-nationalized health care system igniting the culture war.

Hemmed in by a perverse system, poor policy choices, and outdated guild practices, doctors are in the dumps.
