The same career FDA bureaucrat who loudly crowed about “following the science” to discredit President Trump has approved a failed Alzheimer’s drug.

A new rule proposed by HHS would, among other changes, reverse Trump-era insurance regulations requiring separate billing and collection of payments for certain abortion services.

After Fulton, the Sixth Circuit’s compelling interest analysis in Harris Funeral Homes cannot stand. Courts cannot credit the alleged compelling government interest of non-discrimination by ignoring the constitutional guarantee of free exercise.

With its 9-0 ruling in favor of the Fulton plaintiffs, the Supreme Court is saying people with sincere faith-informed understandings of social issues that cut against the grain of secularist thought aren’t to be treated as bigots, and government needs to back off.

Charlotte Burrows, chairwoman of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), posted a guidance document purporting to apply Bostock v. Clayton County, which redefined Title VII’s prohibitions on discrimination “because of sex” to include sexual orientation and transgender status in certain contexts.

Since the FDA operates without external oversight, it’s not possible to hold the agency accountable for bad approval decisions that ultimately place taxpayers on the hook for hundreds of billions of dollars via Medicare Part B program.

Planned Parenthood is directly implicated in litigation currently before the Supreme Court on a donor disclosure law, but is mysteriously silent on the issue.

EPPC Policy Analyst Rachel N. Morrison offered comment at HHS’s COVID-19 Health Equity Task Force meeting, urging the task force “to ensure that your efforts to promote equity do not encourage or enable illegal discrimination.”

There is an enormous national security risk to relying on geopolitical adversaries like China for America’s life-saving drugs. This is similar to the risk that both the Republican and Democrat parties recognized with respect to our energy supplies, where a renewed focus on domestic production enabled the U.S. to become a net oil exporter by 2019. The move to energy independence created good paying jobs for thousands of Americans.

HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra and Assistant Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine seem to want to intimidate scientists, health care providers and insurers into bowing to gender identity politics without having to explain their actions to the public.

EPPC Policy Analyst Rachel N. Morrison submitted a public comment to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) objecting to HHS’s proposed Title X rule that would funnel millions of taxpayer dollars to abortion providers by undoing a Trump-era regulation that ensured separation between Title X funded programs and abortion activities.

China is allowing only those tested for COVID-19 and vaccinated with its proprietary vaccines to enter their country. This represents a problem when it comes to the regulation of drugs for American consumers: China’s vaccine entry requirements make it nearly impossible for the FDA to fully staff regulatory operational activity in China.
