“The introduction of co-payments will cost more — in human health and in system expenditures — than it saves. If the government is serious about fiscal responsibility, it should follow the evidence and reverse this penny-wise and pound-foolish decision.” Read the piece
Only opinion columns and editorials are scored. Each piece is read twice by a language model, which records the author's own stance on a policy topic only where the piece argues one, with a quote that must appear in the piece. An author's position on a topic is the average of their pieces, weighted by the model's confidence. News reporting is listed but never scored.
