Free markets just won’t do in health care, we’ve been told for over 50 years. But that argument has gotten thinner and thinner over time. Now that so many have health insurance that doesn’t protect them against unaffordable health care expenses, maybe it’s time to let market forces work. (p. 2) [Editor’s Note: Health Care Is Different, but It Doesn’t Have to Be]
The forces of repression are on the march—on America’s campuses. What do we need to do to ensure the ideas of liberty survive? Our all-star panel weighs in. (p. 4) [One Question: What Must We Do to Ensure the Ideas of a Free Society Are Passed On?]

(p. 8) [Toolkit: How to Talk with Your Neighbor about Free Market Health Care]

That’s just for starters. (p. 20) [Getting Health Care Right Means Giving Patients More Control]

Fixing the welfare system took a governor who lived the problem first hand. Now Maine provides a model for the rest of the country, writes Melissa Quinn.

The B-52 began flying in 1955 and is slated to continue flying until 2045. It’s a run of service to be admired, but that’s a really long time to rely on a military platform. Check out our timeline to see some of the ways the world has changed since the B-52 first took flight. (p. 42) [Picturing Policy: Since the B-52 started flying …]
