People keep saying the government is incomeptent in delivering goods, but today most people get health care from corporations, which are ill suited to the task and have proven incapable of delivering adequate health care.
Why all this animosity towards government when the greatest failures of our current sysytem are that we've asked corporations to provide for people's health care and corporation by their nature have proven incapable of doing the job? By all rights, they never should have been asked to provide helath care, they're not built to do that, they're built to turn a profit, it makes no sense to have this massive private sector welfare state as the recent collapse of GM demonstrates.
A national, universal, health care voucher would allow us to keep the management of health care in the private sector without burdening businesses with the role of nanny state and it would provide universal insurance which is the only effective kind of insurance. It preserves the free market while still ensuring a basic safety net for everyone.
Would this prevent the government from determining if our actions are "healthy" or "unhealthy" or is that just "a risk we'd have to take" with such a program?
