Headlines and Highlights

The Clintonian roots of Obamacare
Scott Gottliieb, National Affairs
In its major elements and its ethos, the passage of Obamacare was a triumph of the legislative effort that Hillary Clinton launched in 1993. And Hillarycare, in turn, can tell us a great deal about where she likely thinks Obamacare should go from here.

A few contingencies for the King v. Burwell contingency plan
Joseph Antos, AEIdeas
As one of the authors of “A Contingency Plan for King v. Burwell,” I support the recommendations of that report. However, there are important issues that deserve further discussion and clarification, and there are both political and practical uncertainties that must be resolved if the Supreme Court’s decision opens up a new opportunity to adopt market-based reforms of our health financing system.

Who will be the candidate with a plan?
James C. Capretta, National Review
Voters need to distinguish between pipedreams and plans that will work.

Fixing America’s mental health system
Sally Satel, E. Fuller Torrey, National Review
Federal efforts to treat the mentally ill are woefully ineffective.

Global health: Who should pay for your altruism?
Tomas J. Philipson, Forbes
If we desire poor countries to receive new treatments, shareholders of innovative companies should not be asked to foot the entire bill of our altruistic desires.

New approach needed in fight against deadly diseases
Roger Bate, The Hill
Rather than complain about drug prices, governments should help developing countries reform their drug approval regulations and strengthen distribution channels so proven drugs get to patients quickly and safely.

An Obamacare replacement that works
Ramesh Ponnuru, Bloomberg View
Tom Price’s plan to replace Obamacare is a good plan, although it could be made better — and it helps to clarify some of the trade-offs involved in health policy.
