Joe Grogan’s latest op-ed, “Trump’s congressional allies finally move on 340B,” highlights how congressional allies of President Trump are advancing long-awaited reforms to the federal 340B Drug Discount Program, which was designated to help hospitals serve low-income patients but has since ballooned into a system critics say benefits large health systems instead.
John Czwartacki’s latest op-ed, “Trump’s Open Banking Rescue,” argues that President Trump’s renewed “open banking” rule will give consumers control over their financial data again while encouraging innovation in fintech and crypto.
Joe Grogan, in his recent op-ed, “The UK Flirts with Another Attack on U.S. Tech,” warns that the United Kingdom government’s recent consultation, which proposes that the state intervene in setting royalty rates for standard essential patents (SEPs), represents a serious threat to U.S. innovators and global innovation incentives.
In his recent op-ed, “Brazil Is Waging War On American Technology — With China’s Help,” John Czwartacki emphasizes how Brazil is strengthening its ties with China while pushing out American tech companies through unfair digital policies.
The 340B drug-pricing program has ballooned into a $66 billion revenue stream for hospitals, but little of that money actually reaches patients in need. Instead of lowering costs, many hospitals exploit the program for profit while underserved patients continue paying full price.
In his recent op-ed, “Urban hospitals are exploiting government programs for rural ones,” Joe Grogan argues that large urban hospitals are exploiting federal rural-hospital programs by claiming “administratively rural” status and thereby diverting benefits meant for genuinely rural facilities. This loophole, the authors warn, is driving consolidation, raising prices, and undermining healthcare access in rural America.
President Donald Trump’s new pressure campaign targeting countries that levy predatory taxes and regulations on American companies got immediate rave reviews from his allies in and out of Congress.
In his recent op-ed, “Republicans Can’t Quit the Field on OBBB’s Healthcare Wins,” Joe Grogan argues that Republicans need to seize and publicize the significant healthcare reforms in the One Big Beautiful Bill. These reforms include protecting nursing homes, boosting rural hospitals, and curbing Medicaid abuse, to prevent ceding the issue to Democrats. The author contends that these wins deserve aggressive communication across GOP districts, not silence.
President Donald Trump is set to meet Sunday with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to continue talks on a trade deal.
Ahead of that meeting, policy analysts say that any agreement on trade must include the removal of non-tariff regulations and digital service taxes that largely target U.S. tech and communications companies.
In his recent op-ed, “Big Banks Have Trump’s Vision for Crypto in the Crosshairs,” John Czwartacki argues that recent moves by large financial institutions and regulators risk crippling the United States’ potential to lead in crypto innovation—by undermining a key rule essential to open banking.
