Bigger Isn’t Better

Posted on March 15, 2010 by D3 Support

It has been said, elsewhere, that a government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take it all away. Think health care. In a similar vein, I will say: A government that rams legislation through … Continue reading →

ObamaCare vs. The Power of One

Posted on February 15, 2010 by D3 Support

There are two schools of thought about ObamaCare’s fate. One is that a minority has no right to force a bill on the majority that a majority do not want. It’s clear that about a third of the country wants … Continue reading →

Doctors and Patients: Start Over

Posted on December 22, 2009 by D3 Support

There’s no difference of any importance between the House and Senate versions of “health care reform.” The House bill openly considers doctors, patients and medical care the property of the government, and legislates accordingly. The Senate bill engages in the … Continue reading →

On the Precipice

Posted on December 16, 2009 by D3 Support

Free-market economist Ludwig von Mises wrote: “With a few exceptions contemporary commentators on economic problems are advocating economic intervention. This unanimity does not necessarily mean that they approve of interventionistic measures by government or other coer­cive powers. Authors of economics … Continue reading →

Drivng the Marketplace Out of the Market

Posted on December 9, 2009 by D3 Support

I have two more fallacies for you regarding the push for socialized medicine. First, when politicians speak of “controlling costs” they are not talking about the cost of health insurance. These are the costs that concern those who purchase health … Continue reading →

Obamagrams for All

Posted on November 20, 2009 by D3 Support

The controversy over how often women should get mammograms illustrates the folly of this administration’s one-size-fits-all approach to medical care. People want guaranteed “universal” coverage, which only the government can enforce. And if government is going to enforce it, government … Continue reading →

No “Options” Under National Health Care

Posted on October 28, 2009 by D3 Support

The “public option” is no option. It’s an attempt to impose government control over every aspect of medical care. And, if enacted, it will succeed at doing just that. He who pays, controls. Haven’t we learned that by now? Nobody … Continue reading →

Ideology is not Optional

Posted on October 23, 2009 by D3 Support

A website reader writes in: “I’m 64 and disabled. I’ve had two major surgeries to my back and hip performed by the VA in the past two years, and am satisfied with the care, other than purchases of medical ‘supplies’ … Continue reading →

Take Care of Me, Big Government

Posted on October 14, 2009 by D3 Support

We’re supposed to believe that people have a right to health insurance and medical care. Yet if there’s a right to health insurance and medical care — why is there no right to purchase medical insurance and medical care on … Continue reading →

What Private Sector?

Posted on October 7, 2009 by D3 Support

Advocates of socialized medicine keep saying a “public option” is “simply a little competition for the greedy insurance companies.” Excuse me — what private insurance companies actually exist? The ones I know of are all regulated by the federal government … Continue reading →

The Fast Track to Socialized Medicine

Posted on September 11, 2009 by D3 Support

People argue about the “public option” aspect of socialized medicine as if it’s the primary point. It’s not. While it is true that the “public option,” if implemented, will wipe out what’s left of the marketplace for health insurance and … Continue reading →

Pull the Trigger?

Posted on September 5, 2009 by D3 Support

The latest and greatest approach being tried by advocates of socialized medicine? The trigger. It’s an appropriate analogy, because giving government the keys to the entire practice of medicine, forevermore, is the same as pulling the trigger on a gun … Continue reading →
