One theoretical benefit of a single-payer health system is an ability to control costs through full-cycle management. We’ve seen how well that works with the VA system over the last couple of years, and more accurately for the last several decades.

Rubio's piecemeal approach to immigration reform could be a blueprint, but not for immigration
5/7/2015 8:01:33 AM  Jazz Shaw
25 Comments
Hillary Clinton has already staked out her position, endorsing a path to full and equal citizenship for illegals. Fair enough. That’s not going to come as much of a shock to anyone and it’s an idea which is highly popular among her base. And

Oh, Veterans Affairs. It literally lets veterans die by not treating them. And, if they manage to live, it clerically kills them off, avoiding treating them. Just last week, Robert Pressley’s family received letters from both the Department of

Carly Fiorina, who just jumped into the race for the presidency Monday, has spent the week coolly sitting for interviews and cleverly parrying jabs from reporters and critics. It is obvious that after losing her Senate race in 2010 to Sen. Barbara Boxer,

No, actually, not exactly what you’d expect. I would have given even odds that they’d not only dismiss Pam Geller’s event as “hate speech” but call for similar events to be banned in the future in the interest of

Via TPM, I did not foresee “let’s revisit Marbury v. Madison” emerging as a minor theme of the primary. But between Carson and Huckabee it’s already a hot race to see who can pander the hardest to social cons over the upcoming

Even in Texas. Even in Texas. This is the essence of the “fighting words” logic that Chris Cuomo got ripped for defending this morning, no? Geller picked a fight. She, not just the degenerates who attacked the event, is responsible for

NFL: Patriots deliberately deflated footballs — and Brady "generally aware"
5/6/2015 3:21:34 PM  Ed Morrissey

This guy is a professional journalist. And a Yale grad. And a law-school grad. But let’s be fair. If you polled the media, how many of them would agree? Don’t stomp Cuomo just because he’s bold enough to say what the rest are
