President Joe Biden was unable to overcome the judicial and legislative roadblocks to his full set of COVID-19 vaccine mandates two years ago, but the damage of that policy lingers. If the Supreme Court and Congress had failed to block the mandates, the costly consequences of our COVID-19 crisis could have been worse. Now we know why. Last July, the highly productive House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, chaired by Rep.

Medicare, the $1 trillion federal health program serving seniors and disabled persons, turned 58 on July 30. But it is no longer your grandfather’s Medicare. Traditional Medicare is a heavily regulated, defined-benefit, fee-for-service program in which the price of each medical service is fixed and capped by the government. In short, it is an early version of what progressives hoped would be a “single-payer” national health insurance system.

Medicare, the $1 trillion federal health program serving seniors and disabled persons, turned 58 on July 30. But it is no longer your grandfather’s Medicare. A Kaiser Family Foundation analysis of this year’s enrollment data shows that fully half of all Medicare beneficiaries are enrolled in private health plans. Traditional Medicare is a heavily regulated, defined-benefit, fee-for-service program in which the price of each medical service is fixed and capped by the government.

House of Representatives investigators just issued an interim report on Tuesday detailing a sophisticated effort by leaders at the National Institutes of Health and a select group of researchers—including those who had received substantial NIH grant funding—to disprove the hypothesis that COVID-19 originated in a Chinese research laboratory and push the narrative that it instead emerged from nature. Republican staff of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic chaired by Rep.

The Biden administration’s release Friday of a declassified nine-page intelligence report does not address COVID-19’s origins as either a Chinese lab leak or a natural occurrence. It does repeat previous reports showing divisions within the intelligence community on the key issue of COVID-19’s origins. Solving the mystery of COVID-19’s origins will depend on the quality of American and allied intelligence, including cables, emails, and original documents.

The American Civil Liberties Union has become a civil liberties organization in name only — an abomination to its own former leaders due to the abandonment of its founding principles. As of today, its primary purpose is to push ridiculous left-wing proposals, including undermining the ability of even the most loving and capable parents to raise and protect their children.

Medicare, the huge federal health program serving 65 million seniors and disabled citizens, is America’s most difficult entitlement challenge. Sticking with the status quo not only threatens seniors’ access to care but also guarantees large and growing financial burdens for beneficiaries and taxpayers alike. That is why The Heritage Foundation is hosting a public forum to discuss ways to solve these problems and strengthen Medicare now and for the future.

America’s schoolchildren suffered grievously from prolonged school closures during the COVID-19 pandemic. That was a rare point of consensus at the March 28 hearing of the newly created House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, transcending the standard, tiresome, and transparently partisan criticisms of the Biden and Trump administrations’ pandemic performance. To improve America’s response to the next pandemic, the subcommittee chairman, Rep.
