Conspicuously absent from our political discourse in recent years has been good-natured humor. Rudy Giuliani seems bent on reinvigorating that lost art. A case in point is his recent quip about the consequences of a Clinton victory next year: Think about it: If Hillary becomes president and we have HillaryCare, the Canadians will have absolutely [...]
A lot of donkeys are braying about Rudy Giuliani’s radio ad in which he has the audacity to applaud the American health care system. Specifically, they’re creating a din about Hizzoner’s comparison of U.S. and British survival rates relating to prostate cancer: My chance of surviving prostate cancer — and, thank God, I was cured of [...]

Back on August 2, Ron Paul made a floor speech in the House of Representatives about the Comprehensive Health Care Act. My first thought on reading the text was, “This contains some sensible elements. The good doctor must be back on his meds.� Then it struck me how similar it was to the health care [...]
Rudolph Giuliani’s recently announced health care strategy has been getting mixed reviews. The Left’s carefully coordinated denunciation was, of course, no surprise. Less predictably, some free market advocates, like Cato’s Michael Cannon, have also been underwhelmed.

His diagnosis isn’t tentative: The healthcare system is being dragged down by decades of government-imposed mandates, wasteful bureaucracy, and massive distortions in the US [...]
As if to confirm a widespread suspicion that the establishment media coordinate closely with the Democratic National Committee, America’s “news� organizations are speaking with one voice on the health care strategy outlined by Rudolph Giuliani. The party line, it would appear, is that Rudy’s strategy should be dismissed because it is similar to that which President [...]
The next president of the United States will be one of two people: Hillary Clinton or Rudolph Giuliani. Obviously, the former wants to impose government-run health care on the country, so the latter’s new health care proposal probably constitutes our only hope of avoiding socialized medicine. Here are the main things “Hizzoner’s” plan would accomplish: [...]
Last week, when I questioned Ron Paul’s specious claim not to have accepted Medicare during his years as a practicing obstetrician, I was accused by several commenters of being in the pay of that arch fiend, Rudy Giuliani.This was odd coming from professed libertarians, because Giuliani is a much more credible advocate of free market [...]
