Is the Use of Force Healthy?
The Democrats are determined to “reform” health care whether you want it or not and have just released the specifics of the bill they hope to ram through Congress this weekend without any Republican support.
I stated on more than one occasion that the only way to reform health care is to make it a free market. Over time, this will produce results similar to what has happened in telephones and computers over the last 30 years where market forces have caused quality and innovation to soar while prices have plunged.
I’m not going to say more on that or discuss how forcing businesses to provide health insurance could be a big job killer when unemployment is already very high.
I just wanted to point out what nobody else is pointing out about the whole process now taking place in Congress. Millions of Americans are about to be enslaved to those who want to force a particular view of health care on them. How can a health care system that forces the will of some people on others be considered good for the health of those who don’t want it? Is battering good for the person who is being battered in a relationship? Of course not. So why is it healthy when it’s done politically?
While I admire the quality of relentless determination, it would be nice if it was focused on increasing individual liberty rather than further restricting it. This bill forces individuals to subsidize the insurance industry, doctors, hospitals, drug companies, health care unions and many other related industries. If you don’t subsidize them by buying mandatory insurance, you have to pay a fine.
