WASHINGTON—America’s health care has serious problems that need fixing. Outdated laws and excessive regulations still make it difficult for too many Americans to choose health coverage they can afford that best meets their needs.

But those problems would only be compounded if the government gets more control over America’s health care. That’s precisely what the Left is aiming to do, according to a new book out today.

“No Choice, No Exit: The Left’s Plans for Your Health Care” cuts through the rhetoric and offers a fact-driven review of the health reform plans that liberal policy advocates and lawmakers want to enact.

From the public option to Medicare for All, the book examines all of the existing legislation and health reform plans from the Left and how those plans would impact Americans’ health care.

But this article is more for those people who want to have freedom of choice and do not mind paying a monthly premium for a Medicare Supplement (also known as a Medi-gap) plan.

If you’re on a Plan J, which has not been sold since 2010, you are on the richest standardized

DUBAI (Reuters) – Iran plans to make mask-wearing mandatory in public in other large cities after imposing it in Tehran to fight rising coronavirus infections, the health minister said on Sunday, as the country’s nuclear chief became the latest official to be infected.
