Healthy Competition

What's Holding Back Health Care and How to Free It

By: Michael F. Cannon,Michael D. Tanner

America's health care system is at a crossroads, faced with rising costs, quality concerns, and a lack of patient control. Some blame market forces. Yet many troubles can be traced directly to pervasive government influence: entitlements, tax laws, and costly regulations. Consumer choice and competition deliver higher quality and lower prices in other areas of the economy. The authors conclude that removing restrictions can do the same for health care. In the newly updated edition, the authors expand on their prior work with new analysis of the best and worst ideas in health care reform – on both the right and the left.

50 Vetoes

How States Can Stop the Obama Health Care Law

By: Michael F. Cannon

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) remains vulnerable to repeal, largely because Congress and the Supreme Court have granted each state the power to veto major provisions of the law before they take effect in 2014. The PPACA itself empowers states to block the employer mandate, to exempt many of their low- and middle-income taxpayers from the individual mandate, and to reduce federal deficit spending, simply by not establishing a health insurance "exchange." To date, 34 states have refused to create Exchanges and some 16 states have announced they would not expand their Medicaid programs. Yet the Obama administration is trying to coerce states into implementing parts of the expansion that the Court rendered optional. This special White Paper provides a comprehensive review of the process now occurring between states and the Obama Administration, underscoring how a critical mass of states exercising their vetoes over Exchanges and the Medicaid expansion can force Congress to reconsider, and hopefully repeal, the rest of the PPACA.

Recovery

A Guide to Reforming the U.S. Health Sector

By: Michael F. Cannon

A quick‐reference guide to reforms that state and federal policymakers must enact to make health care better, more affordable, more secure, and more universal. Health care in the United States is not a free market. In many ways, U.S. residents are less free to make their own health decisions than residents of other nations. Government controls a larger share of health spending in the United States than in Canada, the United Kingdom, and most other advanced nations. State and federal governments subsidize low‐quality medical care and penalize high‐quality care. They block innovations that would otherwise reduce medical prices. Congress even funds veterans benefits in a way that increases the likelihood of war. Fortunately, there are corners of the U.S. health sector where market forces have had room to breathe. In those areas, markets have made health care better, more affordable, and more secure. They have made health care more universal-both in the United States and in nations that supposedly already had universal health care. Sometimes, market forces develop such innovations despite government policies that exist explicitly to block them. Those sorts of innovations should be exploding across the United States and the world, bringing affordable health care to low‐income patients and driving high‐cost and low‐quality providers and insurers out of business. But they aren't. Recovery shows that making health care as universal as possible requires ending all barriers that government places in the way of better, more affordable, and more secure health care.

Critical Pathways to Success in CNS Drug Development

By: Neal R. Cutler,John J. Sramek,Michael F. Murphy,Henry Riordan,Peter Biek,Angelico Carta

Covering the latest advances in CNS drug development, this bookwill guide all those involved in pre-clinical to early clinicaltrials. The authors describe how recent innovations can acceleratethe development of novel CNS compounds, improve early detection ofefficacy and toxicity signals, and increase the safety oflater-stage clinical trials. The current crisis in the drug development industry iscritically reviewed, as well as the steps needed to correct theproblems, including new government-backed regulations andindustry-based innovations designed to accelerate CNS drugdevelopment in the future. Animal-based models of major CNS disorders are described indetail, and the ability of the latest in vitro and computer-basedmodels to simulate CNS disease states and predict drug efficacy andside-effects are examined. Particular attention is given tothe growing use of biomarkers and how they can be used effectivelyin early human trials as signals of potential drug efficacy, aswell as the increasingly important role of imaging studies to guidedose selection. Cognitive assessments that can be useful indicatorsof effect in patient populations are also discussed. Written by a team of clinical scientists involved in CNS drugtrials for over 20 years, and based on a wealth of drug developmentand clinical trial experience, Critical Pathways to Success inCNS Drug Developmentis full of practical advice forsuccessfully designing and executing CNS drug trials, avoidingpotential pitfalls, and complying with government regulations
