What do people really think about free-market medicine?
A Four-Step Healthcare Solution
It's an explanation of what the Austrian School would have us do.
Read this. It should be required reading for libertarians and liberals.
Why do liberals think it is BS, as I know I did while reading it?
Why do libertarians think it is gospel? It even ends in saying that only these four steps will bring the free-market back to health care. Why do I want the free-market in healthcare? Do I want the free-market distributing water in my community?
A lot (if not most) municipalities do not allow residences to refrain from having a water hookup. I live in a very rural area, as in ~100 people a square mile, and water is mandatory.

I don't want an unlicensed surgeon to cut on me? Hell, without licensing, regulated by the government, that surgeon could be you or me or anyone else who decides they want to play doctor with us.
We've already been way down the road to deregulation. It has resulted in the complete dismantling of our industrial base and an over 100% increase in health care cost.
Source(s): Aegis of Freedom, Many would argue that Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution gives Congress the right to regulate business in this country. And since health care is a for profit business, in this country, that means that Congress is relegated the responsibility to regulate health care in the USA. http://law.onecle.com/constitution/article-1/20-po... Well Raymond ya should have been pissed off when the republicans were selling your country right out from under your feet. It's too late now man! - Aegis of FreedomLv 71 decade ago
Most of that sounds nice. We do need some regulation, but that should be left to the states, not the federal government (as the Constitution states).
We already have free-market water distribution. You don't have to be on city-water, you can put in your own pump or buy bottled water. Regardless, that is a local issue, not a federal issue (again, just like the Constitution states).
Nobody wants sick people dying in the streets. However, some of us would like to obey the Constitution for a change and handle regulations at the state and local level instead of the federal level.

Health care is a profitable business...Why not take over banks since not everyone has an account...or why not take over colleges since not everyone has a BA...Our Government acts like it is Their Government and frankly I am pissed off.
