Healthcare

Government intervention in the health care industry is the cause of the health care
crisis.
Since the end of the second World War, government intervention in health care
has rapidly increased. At the same time, the cost of health care has skyrocketed.
The media wrongly blames the free market for problems in the health care system.
When in fact, the health care market is almost entirely a product of government
mandates and regulations.
The recent health care bill further monopolized the health care industry. Now, the
top health care and insurance companies control the entire market, eliminating
competition from small and independent providers. This bill mandates Americans
to buy insurance they can’t afford and does not fix the problem of “too-high
prices”. This is no way to improve health care.
Washington should not be implementing more massive programs which will burden
taxpayers and the economy. In addition, people who couldn’t afford insurance
before the bill passed still cannot afford insurance. The budgets of these low income
families should not be strained by being forced to comply with the new
mandate.
Allowing the free market to function is the solution to the health care crisis. We
must allow health providers to be in full competition with one another.
