Sweden Bucked Conventional Wisdom, and Other Countries Are Following
Spring is in the air, and it is increasingly found in the confident step of the people of Sweden. With a death rate significantly lower than that of France, Spain, the U.K., Belgium, Italy, and other European Union countries, Swedes can enjoy the spring without panic or fears of reigniting a new epidemic as they go about their day in a largely normal fashion.

Has Sweden Found the Right Solution to the Coronavirus?
If the COVID-19 pandemic tails off in a few weeks, months before the alarmists claim it will, they will probably pivot immediately and pat themselves on the back for the brilliant social-distancing controls that they imposed on the world. They will claim that their heroic recommendations averted total calamity. Unfortunately, they will be wrong; and Sweden, which has done almost no mandated social distancing, will probably prove them wrong.

Public policy panic about the COVID-19 pandemic not supported by the facts
ANALYSIS/OPINION: Politicians and medical experts assert that: 1) COVID-19 is lethal to many beyond those that typically succumb to pneumonia in flu season (typically up to 60,000 in the United States annually; and 2) COVID-19 is still slowly spreading in major industrialized countries, implying there is still some potential benefit to the enormously costly social distancing and economic shutdown measures. What if they are wrong? What if COVID-19 isn’t significantly deadlier than regular flu?

Regenerating medical research payouts?
In 2004 California ballot measure Proposition 71 was passed, granting $3 billion ($6 billion including interest) in state funds to support politically controversial embryonic stem cell research in California at a time when the federal government was restricting this research. A public agency was established, the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, to dole out this money across California universities, medical research institutions and biotech companies.
Grasping For The Middle Ground On Obamacare
Joel Hay, a professor at the University of Southern California, describes his political views as “conservative, free market.” But in a counterintuitive twist, his proposal to fix the Affordable Care Act would expand the largest source of public health coverage in the country: Medicaid. Hay, who specializes in health policy and economics, envisions an Obamacare replacement plan that would scrap health insurance exchanges such as Covered California, which sell subsidized private market plans.
An Obamacare replacement that will actually work
Obamacare was never popular with most Americans, faces death spiral health plan premiums, is fiendishly complex, tries to do too much for too many people and has zero bipartisan support. But the Congressional Republican Obamacare replacement doubles down on precisely the part of the Affordable Care Act that is failing, the private individual health plans, while it phases out the part that seems to be working, the Medicaid expansion.
