What Is “Single-Payer” Health Care?
American policymakers should reject “single-payer” proposals such as Medicare for All. Although the promise of “free” care may be attractive, in reality such a system would impose an unprecedented payroll tax on all working Americans. It would take control from patients and their doctors and put it in the hands of government politicians and bureaucrats. The international track record on single-payer plans confirms that this consistently leads to poor access to care—and even to denial of care. In short, single payer would have the effect of higher costs and reduced access to care for many patients. Instead, Congress should seek to reduce costs and increase access to care for Americans through proposals that empower patients and doctors.

Should the Trump administration issue a determination of its own on the Rohingya, it would demonstrate moral and political leadership. The U.S. should take these steps to demonstrate its enduring leadership in promoting rights and freedoms, not only in Burma, but across the globe.

During the first two years of Donald Trump’s presidency, the US has carried out far more drone strikes in the undeclared battlefields of Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan than his predecessor, Barack Obama, during the same period of his first term. One reason for this is relaxed restrictions introduced late in Obama’s tenure.
