Way back in the grainy black and white days of my 1964 birth, it cost about one and a half week’s pay for my dad to pay for my hospital birth and he was a garbageman.
Few people in those days had insurance but most of the time they didn’t need it.
We could solve the majority of healthcare issues via the wholly Constitutional Commerce Clause. You’d knock out a plethora of dumb laws designed by crony capitalists at the state, county and local level meant to block interstate trade.
Why can’t I buy insurance across state lines? Why can a licensed doctor from Indiana practice anywhere she pleases?
One thing that’s coming is a technology driven shift that will move the power of doctors directly on to your smartphone. Moreover, the abortion and education industries are also moving legislation and court cases making it easier to perform abortions and give medicine in schools to children.
That is something you could leverage into real healthcare liberty.
It was only after Big Government got into health care that prices exploded, just as in getting a college education. Anything that Big Government touches turns into poor quality at outrageous prices.
Same story with taxes. My property taxes have gone from 2 weeks of income to 3 months of income.
