Don's health care transparency fix, Hochul punts on spending cuts...

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : Medicaid "accounts for most of this year's new spending," as the Legislature's addition "hikes the state share to almost $45 billion, an increase of 18.6 percent."
55% : Health care "is the only economic sector where consumers cannot see real prices before they buy," and thus "prices for the same care can range by 10 times, even at the same hospital."
45% : But if Trump "believes Iran can be trusted to execute a new pact, he hasn't done his homework.
41% : In practical terms, what that meant was 'no more judicial nominees without verifiable conservative credentials.'" Don't expect to soon see another justice who infuriates "the political party that first championed him while greatly benefiting the political party that first opposed him." "You may not know the ins and outs of disparate impact" -- the federal doctrine on racism Trump has moved to uproot via executive order, but Christopher Caldwell explains at The Free Press that "you've surely seen its effects": the end of on-the-job meritocracy, as that "produces a lower-than-random number of protected minorities."
34% : " President Trump insists he'll "accept nothing less than 'total dismantlement' of Iran's nuclear program," notes Karen Elliott House at The Wall Street Journal.
18% : It would have to be repealed to bring about the meritocracy Trump seeks."
7% : Yet "the mullahs in Tehran will never agree to that," and Trump may be tempted to accept "something akin to the 'worst deal in history,' signed by President Obama in 2015."
