Healthcare

As long as there is demand for (willingness-to-buy) snake oil products there will be snake oil businesses.

New legislation would throw a lifeline to individual terminally ill patients, giving them the “right to try” treatments that have been deemed safe by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but which have not yet obtained final approval.

While the Affordable Care Act (ACA) promises “quality health insurance coverage for all Americans,” a potential tradeoff exists between the law’s dual goals of promoting quality and preventing insurance companies from denying coverage or charging higher premiums to patients with preexisting conditions.

Why providing sick patients secure access to quality health care requires allowing consumers to purchase health plans not subject to Obamacare’s preexisting conditions provisions.

On the elimination of the individual insurance mandate of ObamaCare

ObamaCare is succeeding, because its goal is a single-pay state monopoly in medicine; the failure it’s causing in America’s health insurance market is simply a means to that end.

Republican Senators have clearly demonstrated that, without the correct principles, there is no basis for health care policy.

Restoring Americans’ right to choose their own health care, including the freedom to choose whether and how much to buy, and how to finance, insure and use, means first liberating Americans from ObamaCare.

The effect of this law, were it actually enacted, would be the death of the health insurance industry.

What to Do About Obamacare and the Uninsurable? Free Markets and Charity!

We cannot afford to pass legislation again “so that you can find out what’s in it.”

The effect of this law, were it actually enacted, would be the death of the health insurance industry.

For more than a century, government involvement in American medicine has moved in a single direction: more spending, more bureaucrats, and more government power over the most intimate details of our daily lives.

Obamacare is not doing well financially, so more young adults must be coerced into paying excessive insurance premiums to subsidize older participants.

What we need is more freedom and a lot less government.

Laura Hillier did not die because the bone marrow for her transplant was unavailable. She died because hospital beds where the transplant could be done were unavailable.

Instead of debating a free market for medicine versus socialism, we’re reduced to watching Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders fight over Obamacare versus socialism.

If Republicans really opposed socialism in principle, they’d be willing to take on or at least question the sacred cow of Medicare.

So why the socialism, Donald, when it comes to medical care?

Independence Day is our most endangered holiday. We should celebrate it while we still can. The entire concept of independence — of autonomous citizens making their own choices in the pursuit of their own happiness — is under attack. The American war for independence...

American medical care is still the best. But it will not remain the best if we do not fully restore it now and fight to keep it free from ill treatment caused by government.

In a free market, medical practitioners and medical companies earn more money if they make their patients and customers happy and keep them healthy. That’s the best incentive. I trust that competition more than I’ll ever trust the activists who want to shut it down.

The argument that narrowing the income gap between the wealthy and the poor will improve everyone’s health defies facts and logic.

The claim that the vaccine for measles causes autism has been discredited by evidence.

We are all in danger when politicians enforce Big Government Medicine–the primary goal of which is its own health and preservation.
