RFK Jr. weighs major changes to how Medicare pays physicians

This is a good idea, if it doesn’t get whacked by the end of Chevron deference, and if anyone has government healthcare left after the chainsaw comes through. But credit where credit is due.

Where’s the appetite to return power to the states? Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi per-capita spending is higher than their economies can support.

Do you have a link or something? I can’t tell from the way you worded this if those states aren’t getting enough federal funding or too much?

I’m saying two things here:

A successful activist movement (to return to each state the right to prohibit certain procedures) proved to its supporters that the Federal government has no place making health care decisions.

But this article cites credible bipartisans who doubt that elite doctors can judge the national economics of medicine in the best interests of the people.

Someone trying to keep these consistent might expect them to axe Medicare and return medical economics to the states. Louisiana can live freer and California can focus on its priorities.
