- Price transparency in health care has long been a driver of higher costs. Your doctor says you need it, so you get it, no matter the cost, right? Only sometimes. Why not make sure doctors show you all the market options for treatment?
- I realize this breaks from my usual libertarian tendencies of letting the market sort itself out without governmental interference. But some markets are more imperfect than others, and if regulation moves them toward working more properly, it might be a good thing. I realize doctors are small businessmen who are already highly regulated. But sometimes they direct patients to the treatment they've made arrangements to sell, instead of taking into account what is best for the patient and what he can afford. The parallel with mechanics is a roughly accurate one.
- I haven't read the detail, and the article was short, so I might change my mind.
- Fun fact: the co-sponsor is from where I moved away from in Virginia. I think Slotkin and Spanberger are former CIA buddies...
Alistair Begg knocks it out of the park with this sermon: "Preach the word!"
- Much of the evangelical church today shows a lack of confidence in the Bible and in preaching it, by what they emphasize in a Sunday service, and how the preacher preaches. Is monologue dead? Psychologists will tell you today that it takes dialogue to persuade, after all. Begg gives a great answer.
- This has come to be true in mainstream and "normal" churches, not just the crazy liberal or megachurches out there. See a future post for more on this. If you're reading this there is a good chance you are in such a church. Give a listen, thinking about how things go where you worship on a Sunday morning.
Our pro-abortion governor
- Michigan governor Whitmer is pushing legislation removing most restrictions on abortion, as New York did a few months ago. Very sad, that a procedure that stops a baby's beating heart is only being referred to as health care for women, now. Lethally misleading.
- It's also disappointing to see her attempt to delegitimize the Republican legislature that stands in her way, by calling it a "gerrymandered legislature."
