I’m simply using it as an illustration of what may yet come in health care — and had better come, if we’re to survive the legalistic and bureaucratic monstrosity our federal government has taken years to build. Direct Primary Care states the following on its website: America needs more primary care providers, but with today’s fee-for-service insurance model, primary care has li… Continue reading
…to their happiness. OR, (version ‘B’), happy people tend to be relatively complacent, lazy. (This is the familiar ‘Fall of Rome syndrome.’) So maybe too much happiness is a bad thing? Dr. Hurd: I believe the ancient Greeks distinguished between short-range pleasure and long-range happiness. It’s not that short-range pleasure is always bad, but if long-range happiness is ignored in the pursuit of short-range pleasure, your life becomes a mess, mat… Continue reading

…if a fetus is a life with individual rights, why should a fetus be killed simply because it was conceived in rape or incest? This isn’t the fetus’ fault, correct?

Imagine if the government paid for most people’s computers or cell phones. Yes, private competition for better computers would exist, but most would default to the government brand. Bec… Continue reading
