“Much of the current debate about healthcare is between those who want the government to wipe all insurance companies out of existence and those who instead want the government to force everyone to buy regulated private insurance. Both sides ignore the fundamental context for any discussion of healthcare in America: individual rights and personal choice. Individuals have the right to incorporate and invest in businesses that provide an important service, like health insurance. Individuals and businesses have the right to make provisions for their medical expenses by seeking the insurance firms that best meet their needs — or not. That is the essential point to remember: governments should never be allowed to destroy such rights — as irrelevant details in the face of the application of naked government power.” [editor’s note: While the title may hold some real truths, it does seem to minimize the fact that the current health insurance industry is anything BUT a free market, but is instead just another government-regulated (and protected) cartel of special interests! - SAT] (02/04/08)
