Why We Need More 'Uninsured' Americans
Carla Howell at LewRockwell.com - America has a health insurance crisis all right. But the crisis isn't what the gummint would have you believe. The real crisis is too much health insurance costing way too much. Most of us would be better off financially without it. At least we would be if gummint got out of the way. [claire]
Years ago, medical special interests convinced politicians to shut down free clinics for the poor, once common in the United States. Rather than allow them to reopen, socialized medicine advocates claim that the high cost of health care is the fault of people who refuse to buy insurance and who run to a hospital emergency room instead every time they have a problem. What they never admit is that Big Government Politicians cut off poor people from life-saving zero cost, tax-free alternatives.
Bemoaning the "uninsured" is a ruse. Big Government Politicians drive up the cost of health care. They drive affordable free-market alternatives out of business. Then they blame the taxpayer for not buying health insurance -- made unaffordable by Big Government. It's a scam.
