A republic or a monarchy?”Franklin responded: “A republic, if you can keep it.”We kept it. Within hours of the mob's debacle ..read more

I've been doing health policy for thirty years. I arguably know something about health insurance.For the life of me, I can't figure out what Kelly Loeffler is proposing under her health plan––particularly when it comes to current protections for preexisting conditions.   In 2017, Republicans proposed a plan that would have arguably given states the ability to reverse Obamacare's protections for ..read more
