If Congress won't strip the FDA of its prescription power entirely, it should at least set an expiration date on prescription requirements, say Cato’s @mfcannon and @dr4liberty. Greater over-the-counter access would reduce the price of medicines. Check out Cato’s Handbook on Affordability to learn more about how to make health care more affordable: ow.ly/4Vzg50Zllyt

Licensing prevents lower-price clinicians from providing services they are competent to provide, explain Cato’s @mfcannon and @dr4liberty. The fix is simple: free nurse practitioners, psychologists, and pharmacists to practice to the full extent of their training. Prices drop, not quality.

Subsidies cannot solve the health care affordability problem. They help sustain it. Rather than create more government subsidies, policymakers should end supply-side regulations that reduce competition and increase prices. Cato’s @mfcannon and @dr4liberty propose immediate, supply-side policy changes that would broaden choice and improve affordability.

Short-term health plans can cost up to 66% less than the cheapest Obamacare plan because they're exempt from its costliest regulations. Trump's 2018 rule proved this relief works—and that the next president can undo such a regulation. Congress should make Trump’s 2018 rule permanent, notes Cato’s @mfcannon. ow.ly/gTF550Z8VTu

With Medicaid fraud rampant and health care affordability making headlines, policymakers must take action to reduce health care costs. Cato's @RominaBoccia and @mfcannon took the conversation to Capitol Hill, examining Medicaid's flaws and making the case for fundamental reform.
