National Center for Policy Analysis Health Policy Blog

"The president didn't mention that an estimated 100 million workers who have paid sick leave likely don't get seven days annually. He also didn't mention that his own advisor Jonathan Gruber has research showing workers themselves wind up paying the cost of mandatory benefits through lower wages.... The president should have called for expanding Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) to all workers, allowing them to set aside funds for medical needs. The president could have also proposed allowing workers to use HSAs to compensate for income lost to sick days."

Excerpt: Socially responsible investing (SRI) is the practice of choosing stocks, bonds or mutual funds based on political, religious or social values. This investment strategy can be hazardous to an individual's portfolio, and if followed by state and local employee pension funds can adversely affect thousands of people's retirement incomes.

"The National Center for Policy Analysis has developed a proposal to provide essential health care for all. We can do this with the money that is already in the system. Unlike the Affordable Care Act ('ObamaCare'), it will require no new taxes, no new spending, no individual mandate and no employer mandate. This proposal would provide patients, health care providers and insurers with the tools necessary to control costs and improve the quality of health care -- without rationing by health care bureaucracies."

May 11, 2016 "Congress should repeal the ACA regulations that prevent insurers from fully adjusting individual premium rates to reflect known health risks. Instead, Congress should restore the right to renew coverage if an applicant has maintained insurance with no gaps of more than 63 days (COBRA) and insurers should be allowed to sell multiyear coverage.... Those who lack access to health coverage at work should have access to a defined tax credit that provides a comparable amount of tax relief as employer-provided health benefits for a middle-income family.... Flexible Spending Account (FSA) holders should be allowed to rollover their unused funds into Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). HSAs should be expanded to allow for larger contributions." |

Apr. 23, 2015 "[L]onger lifespans -- and the need to draw from retirement savings for more years -- increase the risk of outliving one's retirement savings. Encouraging 401(k) plans to offer a lifetime annuity as the default payout option at retirement would go a long way toward addressing this potential problem.... We need a level playing field that treats all savers equally.... Simplify and unify the many retirement savings vehicles by creating universal Roth IRA." |

"The EPI's report shocks and awes with charts and graphs showing the savings disparities between rich and poor, black and white, young and old, etc. None of the data appears to be incorrect, however, many charts border on misleading and the blame for all inequality is placed on 401(k) accounts which is completely and irresponsibly wrong."

"From 2005 to 2012, British hospital emergency room visits rose from 18 million to 22 million -- a 22 percent increase in only 7 years, a period during which the population grew by only 4 percent. This should concern supporters of ObamaCare who claim the health care mandate will reduce the number of hospital emergency room visits and lower the national cost of health care. The increased visits in Britain are due to fewer physicians, an aging population and increased patient demand, all problems America is currently facing."

Excerpt: Recent years have seen the rapid growth of private think tanks within the neoconservative movement that conduct 'policy research' biased to their own agenda. This article provides an evidence-based rebuttal to a 2002 report by one such think tank, the Dallas-based National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA), which was intended to discredit 20 alleged myths about single-payer national health insurance as a policy option for the United States.

"Two years ago, [an] NCPA report ... detailed how today's 45- to 64-year olds are spending their money and why many of them are ill-prepared for retirement. Compared to the same age group 20 years ago, more of today's pre-retirees are paying mortgages that will go well into their retirement years. This may very well be in part due to the fact that homeownership is an overemphasized public policy goal (compared to saving), and the tax system is none to happy to help those who want to buy."

Apr. 16, 2007 Excerpt: The urgent need for pension reform in Europe has steadily climbed up the political agenda. But the initiatives taken so far, including moves to raise the retirement age, can only be considered a first step if they are to avoid a demographic disaster, says Hans Martens, chief executive of the European Policy Center. |
