Health insurance helps many Americans purchase health care. So why is it so expensive, and how can we make it more affordable?
Transformational Health Care Reform
by Scott W. Atlas via PolicyEd
The American health care system is on an unsustainable path characterized by government-dominated insurance. Fixing health care begins with changing the incentives and empowering consumers to seek value with their money, while increasing competition among providers. Liberalized HSAs, insurance with lower premiums and fewer mandates, and more options for Medicare and Medicaid enrollees will improve access, choice, and quality of health care.
The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation has too much power

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation’s authority is so broad that little is beyond its potential reach.

THE STATE OF THE AMERICAN LEFT & STATE PENSION BLOWOUT, THE VIEW

12/23/2018

Our Exhausted American Mediocracy
by Victor Davis Hanson via American Greatness
The unlikely 2016 election of Donald Trump—the first president without either prior political or military office—was a repudiation of the American “aristocracy.” By “rule of the best” I mean the ancien régime was no longer understood to suggest wealth and birth (alone), but instead envisioned itself as a supposed national meritocracy of those with proper degrees, and long service in the top hierarchies of government, media, blue-chip law firms, Wall Street, high tech, and academia.
The Burden Of Public Pension Promises On State And Local Budgets
by Joshua D. Rauh, Daniel Bergstresser via EconoFact
Unfunded pension liabilities represent a significant challenge to the finances of many state and local governments. While no analysts dispute the general statement that pensions are underfunded in aggregate, there has been some discussion about how to estimate the magnitude of the gap.

Skills for the 21st century
Brent Orrell | AEIdeas 
There are no simple either-or propositions in the labor market future. Educators at all levels should focus on teaching certain noncognitive skills while continuing to foster narrower, in-demand technical skills that are connected to immediate employment opportunities.

The ‘Tax the Rich’ Delusion of the Democratic Left
Brian Riedl, Daily Beast

The Democrats’ incoming House majority—and its Senate caucus of presidential wannabes—are about to face fiscal reality. When confronted with how to pay for their extraordinarily expensive policy agenda, the answer of liberal lawmakers, analysts, and advocates is nearly always the same: tax the rich. How to close the $12 trillion baseline budget deficit over the next decade (a figure that already assumes the 2017 tax cuts expire)? Tax the rich. Read more here....

Do meaningless jobs exist in America?
Aparna Mathur | Forbes 
A recent book claims 40 percent of jobs are meaningless. But a closer look at the data reveals quite a different picture of American job satisfaction. While yes, it is certainly plausible that some people with a job find their work meaningless, it is a far better situation to have to deal with than lack of work and decent incomes.
