More than a decade in, @CMSInnovates has delivered disruptions to care and diminished patient choice with little accountability and even fewer results. It’s time to restore oversight, end CMMI, and move H.R. 8293 forward. thehill.com/opinion/healthca…

I have a new column this morning at Real Clear Markets on an important en banc case in the 10th Circuit in which I filed an amicus brief (together with @CFIFonline. It relates to the proper interpretation of the Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act of 1980.

Just like all artificial government price control schemes, interest rate caps REDUCE consumers' access to credit, and are a destructive idea:

As the House Judiciary Committee meets today to discuss pharmaceutical innovation and access, this is the key overarching reality: STRONG PATENT AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY (IP) RIGHTS SPUR INNOVATION AND MAKE DRUGS *MORE* AVAILABLE TO U.S. CONSUMERS, NOT LESS. This is a no-brainer.

Humira didn't become a treatment for multiple inflammatory diseases by accident. AbbVie invested years into additional clinical trials, formulations, and regulatory approvals. None of this would have been possible without strong and secure patent rights.

.@CMSInnovates has been overriding patient choice with mandated experiments that leave doctors and patients with no flexibility for more than a decade. That’s why CFIF urges Congress to pass HR 8293 and eliminate CMMI for good. ccagw.org/legislative-affair…

Along with the Center for Individual Freedom yesterday I filed an amicus brief in the Suncor v. Boulder County case that addresses the consumer protection issues that are not directly before SCOTUS but have been stayed in the lower courts awaiting resolution of the public nuisance claims.

U.S. companies should not be forced to subsidize their local competitors if they want to participate in the Canadian market. @RepSmucker's Protecting American Streaming and Innovation Act deserves serious consideration.

Canada is doubling down on discriminatory regulations targeting American streaming services and digital creators.
A top Canadian regulator confirmed new rules implementing Canada's discriminatory Online Streaming Act are coming soon.
That’s why I introduced the Protecting American Streaming and Innovation Act to authorize a Section 301 investigation into these harmful policies, and I will keep fighting to defend free expression, innovation, and American jobs.
