Republicans are trying to pass something that will actually lower premiums and improve access to coverage and care. They should ignore Democratic efforts to distract them and stay focused on the issue at hand: repealing and replacing Obamacare.

If Trump does not respond firmly, he will permanently compromise his ability to manage the mammoth entity for which he is now responsible.

President Barack Obama opened the door to exporting U.S. oil and natural gas; the Trump administration is likely to drive a tanker through it.

What could turn out to be President Obama's most effective economic policies only happened in the twilight of his presidency: ending the 40-year ban on U.S. crude oil exports and approving construction of terminals to export U.S. liquefied natural gas. 

President-elect Trump's energy agenda would be a shot in the economic arm. All he has to do is get the government out of the way.

What Republicans have consistently called for in Medicaid reform is giving states flexibility. Let’s give individuals flexibility too.

The FDA has a broad mandate to protect the public health, but like most federal agencies it has gone overboard.

We don’t need to eliminate the ethanol industry, just the mandate to use it. Let consumers decide at the gas pump if they want ethanol in their gasoline.

The EPA is confirming what scientists have known for years: Fracking poses no harm to water supplies. 

As head of HHS, Dr. Tom Price will liklely use his own Obamacare replacement bill as the starting point for negotiations.
