Greater access to effective treatments, specialty hospitals, and advanced therapies make the United States a leader in cancer survival rates, notes health care analyst Michael Baker (https://t.co/lqs1u4KHwa).

Single-payer health care systems often use Quality-adjusted Life Years (QALY) to decide who gets care. "QALYs risk entrenching systemic bias, denying care, and eroding trust in public health systems," writes Michael Baker of American Action Forum (https://t.co/HOOO0M2wMZ): https://t.co/9TmirWbKog

Douglas Holtz-Eakin of American Action Forum highlights two articles (one by this writer) showing some of what is working in U.S. health care, which make it clear more health care freedom, not single-payer, is the right way forward (https://t.co/0QmxdbIsJ4): https://t.co/CS9vv8FTnW

It is simply impossible to pay for Medicare for All, Michael Baker of American Action Forum notes (https://t.co/35o6ULt7PL), and I would add that raising even a small fraction of the necessary new tax revenue is a fundamental impossibility: https://t.co/eQzDvdFD9k

Douglas Holtz-Eakin builds on Sally Pipes' observation that Sen. Sanders' socialized health care would explode federal debt while ruining the quality of and access to health care (https://t.co/z2CGWYFiwk). Other than that, it would be just great. https://t.co/qywIYLrE1K

Michael Baker of the American Action Forum (https://t.co/vvKZs0EO7f) shows single-payer health care would suppress cancer treatments and devastate Americans' health: https://t.co/SEeDqkWP07

Single-payer sounds simple, but it means far worse outcomes for those who need care, as the example of cancer treatments shows, writes Michael Baker for the American Action Forum (https://t.co/vvKZs0EO7f): https://t.co/RzgwoaJONK

Even though the U.S. health-care system is overly dominated by government, it still outpaces single-payer systems in quality and access, as children's care shows, the American Action Forum notes: https://t.co/8qHVyxdJkM https://t.co/GGEM3yI0oC

Inflation has eased, federal revenue is finally outpacing spending, and retail sales are rising. Too bad the Federal Reserve wants to kill the expansion. U.S. Economy This Week: The Fundamentals Are Looking Much Better, by @stkarnick https://t.co/R96V4kknSM

O Canada, what awful wait times for health care you have, as Michael Baker of the American Action Forum notes (https://t.co/k03p20CzJn): https://t.co/OMDKTOrIrn

When Americans call for single-payer health care, this is what they're hoping to bring to our shores, writes Michael Baker of the American Action Forum (https://t.co/mGJFtyFV8p): https://t.co/ZhZIJU13uh

Long wait times are a conscious part of the plan in single-payer health care systems, notes Michael Baker of American Action Forum. Wait lists show why we should avoid imitating their system. More here, well worth reading: https://t.co/mGJFtyFV8p https://t.co/XrvYAxU4dK

Here's a bit more from The Daily Dish on why single-payer health care is the opposite of what the U.S. needs and how the solution to our h.c. problems is to build on what we do best—and in fact are the best in the world at (see https://t.co/Ppq858Fkb8): https://t.co/GhGp1l7LdI
