When considering the times we currently live in as American citizens where our dear politicians seek to control so much of our daily lives from the air we breathe to our health care.
In such an environment where busybodies consistently push forward for more and more ways to further constrict the individual's ability to live and operate in an environment of freedom and liberty.
When a massive, centralized Federal government moves to take over banks, automakers, and insurance companies, one must consider just how far the Obama administration and the Democratic led Congress has taken us in just 6 months. This path has been treaded with such a dizzying pace that the average citizen, who may not have his/her ear to what Washington is up to, is completely unaware the massive losses of liberty.
Health care decisions used to be made between the doctor and the patient. Now we have so many complexities that have been introduced to make a great wedge between the doctor and the patient. Third party payers have helped contribute to ever rising prices of care and treatment. Just look at your billing detail on your next hospital visit.
Solutions to health care reform, as other problems addressing the nation and its people, should be constructed on principles of expanding freedom. Choice and competition are tried and tested methods that have lead to lower cost and increased quality in countless types of goods and services. As long as health care remains disconnected from such market forces, price especially will remain higher.
