Adding to the health-care debate

A New York Times article this week focused attention on a proposal from the American Legislative Exchange Council to pursue state-level constitutional amendments banning government health insurance mandates. John Locke Foundation Fiscal and Health Care Policy Analyst Joseph Coletti worked with a Wisconsin state representative to put that proposal together. Meanwhile, John Hood continued to contribute to the national health-care debate through contributions to National Review Online’s “Critical Condition” blog. The Red Springs Citizen also published a recent Carolina Beat column from Vice President for Research and Resident Scholar Roy Cordato. It focused on liberating American health care from existing government controls. (Cordato also submitted a letter to the News & Observer that poked holes in a columnist’s arguments favoring tax hikes for education spending.)
