Sadly, after 34 years of service, the NCPA is closing its doors. Thanks to all who have supported us and helped us fight for free-markets.

South Charleston hospital to charge min of $8 upfront for non-emergent ER visit. (It will take more than $8 to dissuade ER walk-ins.) @NCPA
Thomas Memorial to charge upfront co-pays for non-emergency ER visits https://t.co/B7Yd7vg1YH via @wvgazettemail

That's an amusing take on the research. However, I suspect many hospitals would readmit dead patients if allowed to do so. @NCPA
An amazing "study" that proves, conclusively, that people sent to die don't get readmitted. Who knew?

Are those net jobs? Because we know biz will create more w/o mandate. If healthcare jobs go, that means cost control is working. Win! @NCPA

I believe @SenTedCruz's amendment improves the Senate bill. It would let insurers sell non-ACA plans if they sold one Obamacare plan. @NCPA

There's something unseemly about doling out $200 bil in taxpayer money to do what Congress was sent to DC to do in the first place. @NCPA
There's something unseemly about a lobbyist for govt bureaucrats calling $200 billion of taxpayer money "candy."

Health insurance contributes to high health expenditures. Yet bill seeks to lower premiums rather than health costs. Incompatible goal @NCPA
repeal bill targets high premiums - but not the $3.2 trillion the US spends on health care itself by me https://t.co/jQCDbTCIvV

Why is healthcare expensive? 3rd party payment distorts incentives. Example: Duke Univ hospital has 67% more billing clerks than beds @NCPA

Great article about the rise of medical paternalism; explores what we're missing by putting medicine on a high pedestal out of reach. @NCPA
Here, I describe writings by various @Mercatus scholars on subjects that touch on medical paternalism: https://t.co/dkySip5ClL cc @EricTopol
