Health Care
August 23, 2009 by the law perverted
Health care is an individual responsibility. It is unfortunate that the US government has manipulated this activity to such a large extent. Very few Americans understand either the extent of health care manipulation or their own responsibilities in this regard. The Democrat and Republican parties both have their own versions of a health care program. The Republican version is essentially the Democrat version in a “lite” form. Big deal. Victor David Hanson (VDH) is a Republican mouth piece who spouts supposed reforms from the conservative perspective. It is as I say, just a lite version of the Democrat progam. What is required is a radical revision of health care that just stops the constant government intervention in this arena.
The progam that will resolve the health care “problem ” is explained neatly and cleanly by Hans-Herman Hoppe in a four point essay. It is simple and succinct. It would solve the supposed “problem” but there is no political motivation to implement Hoppe’s program. It is easier for the elites in power to condemn the alternative solutions proposed by the “other” party and to just ignore all other potential solutions.
This is a problem of knowledge and information. Quite simply, most of us do not want to know the truth about anything. We prefer to believe that body of knowledge (even if it is not an accurate knowledge) that we have believed for all of our lives. It is easier to accept past beliefs than it is to challenge those things we have accepted as reality.
