GUEST OPINION - Power To The Patients

By Sally C. Pipes America's health bill will surpass $7.7 trillion by 2032. That's equivalent to one in every five dollars flowing through the economy. To address this crisis, we must make health care work like other sectors of our economy, rather than the bloated, over-regulated mess it is today. And that will require giving patients more control over their healthcare dollars. Because massive government programs like Medicare reimburse providers so little, hospitals and doctors charge private insurers higher rates to make up the difference. Private health plans pay hospitals 254% of what Medicare would have paid, on average. Private... Read more →

Guest Opinion - To Succeed, Modern Tech Needs Updated Patent Law

By Andrei Iancu America's first patent statutes date to the 18th century, when steam engines and cotton gins were cutting-edge. The law that defines what inventions are patentable was written in 1793, and its operative language has not been substantively revised since. It’s little wonder, then, that in recent years, confusion has reigned over what can and cannot be patented. The Supreme Court has stepped in to try and craft workable rules, but has only confused matters further. Only Congress can adequately clarify our patent laws, and the time to do so is now — before we lose any more... Read more →

Medicaid Doesn't Cover Obesity-Indicated GLP-1s In New Jersey

The growing popularity of GLP-1 receptor agonists—including Ozempic and Wegovy from Novo Nordisk, and Mounjaro and Zepbound from Eli Lilly—has added fuel to an already fiery debate over the government’s role in subsidizing access to these drugs. Originally developed for Type 2 diabetes, these medications have proven highly effective for treating obesity—a chronic condition affecting more than 40% of U.S. adults. However, with costs often exceeding $1,000 per month for patients who are under- or uninsured, these treatments remain out of reach for many... Read more →
