President Donald Trump unveiled a multipart proposal on Thursday aimed at lowering prescription drug prices and reducing health insurance premiums, as well as increasing pricing transparency. He also vowed to hold big insurance companies accountable.

Harry Truman’s plan would have covered medical, hospital and nursing care for everyone, and created a federal health insurance agency to pay the costs of care.

As millions of Americans struggle with paying for health care, doctors and health experts discuss how medical care is being eroded by insurers denying necessary tests and treatment, making it "more difficult to be healthy in the United States.

Why does health care reform keep failing despite decades of attention and expanding costs? A scholar of Congress has some answers.

U.S. Rep. Pete Sessions, (R-Texas), is chairman of the House Subcommittee on Government Operations. John C. Goodman, author of “Priceless: Curing the Healthcare Crisis,” is a senior fellow at the Independent Institute and president of the Goodman Institute.

Why does your doctor seem so rushed and dismissive? That bedside manner may be the result of the health care system.

Prosecutors have exposed a lack of public program oversight. Why aren't insurers facing consequences for the health care harm they've caused?

No one in Hawaiʻi should have to choose between rent and insulin. No parent should delay care for a sick child out of fear of a bill. No kupuna should ration treatment after a lifetime of work. Health care should not feel like roulette.

TYRONE — In rural Pennsylvania, there is about one primary care physician for every 522 residents, compared to the state’s urban areas where that ratio is about one physician for every 222 residents, according to state Secretary of Health Dr. Debra Bogen.
