The right way to do healthcare reform
August 30th, 2009 by adminStatists and authoritarians assert that the *only* way to fix health care is to do more of what has made it bad — increase bureaurcracy, enforce rationing and the death of the elderly, and destroy indiviual liberty. The destruction of our individuality is a “moral imperative.” They assert, wrongly, that there is no other way. Well there is. Here’s a proposal much like that supported by most conservatives. Proposed by a Democrat, no less.
But it will never happen, because it doesn’t come with central control, and the left will never agree to anything that preserves liberty. It’s not about health care. Health care can be fixed without making us slaves. As far as the Obamessiah and his cultists go, anything that doesn’t put every aspect of our lives in the hands of a beltway bureaucrat is unacceptable. It’s about instituting socialism and destroying liberty. No more. No less.

I read that article a while ago and was intrigued. I agree we should offer universal coverage and then work toward that proposal as an ideal. Universal coverage should come first as a moral imperative…after that I’m all for making it more efficient as cost-effective. Remember, though, some of that proposal is about removing profit incentive, a concept foreign to many conservatives. Despite all your belly aching about Soviet this-and-that, I think most Americans think the gov’t can handle health insurance better than private insurance entities.

Bullshit. You don’t repair the damage done to the private sector by partial socialization by complete socialization with the promise that it will go away. It never does, because it becomes an ingrained power center in the government. That’s why health care in Britain and Canada are going nowhere but down.
And, in fact, most Americans don’t think that the government can handle it best.
