In the latest issue of Regulation magazine, M. Todd Henderson reviews last year’s brouhaha over health insurance and birth control. According to Henderson, lost in the firestorm about religion and feminism were larger lessons about health care policy and regulation. Also in this issue, Cato scholar Richard L.

More Bang for Your Buck
The Cato Institute tops a new measure of think tank performance in the United States, according to a recent report. Cato bested all other U.S. think tanks in the main category of “Aggregate Profile per Dollar Spent.” “I’m grateful to the Center for Global Development for showing that Cato gives its sponsors something I wish government gave more of to taxpayers: bang for the buck,” said Cato CEO John Allison.
