Not all medical miracles are treated equally, a fact that may become apparent as cancer specialists meet in Chicago this week for the annual meeting of American Society of Clinical Oncology. A likely topic will be the price of new cancer-fighting drugs.

A new report suggests maybe all the uproar on Capitol Hill about the sequester was nothing but hype. IPI's Tom Giovanetti says any move Washington makes to actually slow down its wild spending is a good move.

The U.S. must move forward with plans that will turn cheap and abundant natural gas into liquefied natural gas for export. Producing and exporting U.S. energy might be the closest thing we've seen to a real "peace movement."

Three Texas counties aren't facing a retirement time bomb because 30 years ago they transitioned to a defined-contribution retirement plan for county workers that mirrored the payroll taxes and benefits of Social Security but avoided the long-term unfunded liabilities. Oh, and those workers have never lost a dime.

In all the focus on federal green energy spending, what's been overlooked is that states and cities are also neck-deep in renewable energy subsidies.

Energy self-sufficiency, which could be attainable in a decade or so, would mean that U.S. foreign policy couldn't be held hostage to energy policy.

Sebelius recently laid out the “benefits” of ObamaCare for college graduates, all part of a broader push by the left to convince young Americans they really want this law—since almost no one else does.

Sen. Max Baucus’ gaff—defined in Washington as when someone inadvertently tells the truth—about ObamaCare being a “train wreck” was actually an understatement: ObamaCare faces multiple train wrecks.
