"When the cameras go on and the recorders start recording, it is hard, I think, for Republicans and Democrats to come together and even agree on basic things," says health care policy expert Lanhee Chen. "Because compromise is not seen as a good thing as we sit here in 2026."

Government price controls might cap health care costs in the short term, says Lanhee Chen, but they won't solve the problem. "In the long run, it's not going to cost less. What it will do is create a precedent for the government aggressively rationing access to health care."

Yale Law School Prof. @oonahathaway.bsky.social said in Feb. the Supreme Court has become "extremely partisan in a way that we haven't seen... in my lifetime." "Big question is, are they going to apply the same limitations to President Trump that they applied to President Biden?" bit.ly/4vdQmN0

"Legislators see themselves first and foremost as team players for their parties," says Philip Wallach. "They don't see their job as placing limits on the president," says @oonahathaway.bsky.social. "They see their job as enabling him." TONIGHT 8:30 pm ET @pbs.org listings: to.pbs.org/39hI6Tf

"Primaries have ended up being an anti-democratic element of our system," says AEI senior fellow Yuval Levin, "because they empower a very, very narrow sliver of the American people to make the essential first mover choice in our system." Follow on Apple: bit.ly/4d0WOi2

Danielle Crittenden, who wrote a book about losing her daughter, expresses the frustration of coping with her daughter’s death in the digital age and accessing her old accounts. “Our digital lives outlast our physical ones,” says Crittenden.

Retired Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy: “If we don't think about what the rest of the world thinks about what we're doing, about what our future thinks about what we're doing, about what our history will teach us about what we're doing, we put democracy in danger.”

Republicans “lost moral high ground” on health care because “for too long Republican policymakers were animated by one goal, and that was the repeal of Obamacare,” says health care expert Lanhee Chen.

"Dispatches from Grief" author Danielle Crittenden acknowledges she has learned something from suffering, but she rejects the "happiness hucksters" who insist grief is a gift. "It does make you, I think, a bigger and better person. But as a gift, I would happily return it."
