Any mandatory and comprehensive plan will finish off quality medicine in this country–because it will finish off the medical profession. It will deliver doctors bound hands and feet to the mercies of the bureaucracy. The only hope–for the doctors, for their patients, for all of us–is for the doctors to assert a moral principle. I mean: to assert their own personal individual rights–their real rights in this issue–their right to their lives, their liberty, their property, their pursuit of happiness. The Declaration of Independence applies to the medical profession too. We must reject the idea that doctors are slaves destined to serve others at the behest of the state. – AYN RAND
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
What a real advocate of Capitalism might say if he was offering himself for political office.
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 fact is, “society” is ultimately made up of individuals who, over centuries of slow and truly enlightened thought and controversy, have come to be considered to possess certain inherent and unalienable rights to life, liberty, and honestly acquired property under an appropriate system of an impartial and unbiased rule of law.
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.
The enemies of capitalism indicted the society of liberty; they distorted the reality of capitalism and its brilliant triumphs in freeing man from poverty; and they imbedded in the minds of many the conception of political entitlements that serve the power ends of political paternalists and which requires the plundering of the peaceful and productive members of society.
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.
We must no longer allow American citizens to die of government bureaucracy.
So why the socialism, Donald, when it comes to medical care?
The only remedy for Obamacare must be a legislative remedy, which is why we have elections.
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.
The FDA has vigorously defended its power to deny drugs to the terminally ill, and it has been successful.
When the FDA calls a news conference to announce approval of a drug, somebody should ask the official how many Americans died from the drug’s not being approved the previous year.
How will Americans escape as Obamacare reduces all care to the response standards of the VA system?
The more Americans figure out that Obamacare has made free—riding safer than ever, the more exchange enrollments will fall, posing a serious threat to Obamacare’s future.
