The topic of show 042 was universal health-care. Mosley discusses how government health-care is wrong and the only moral health-care system is that which can be provided by the free-market. There was also a caller from Canada, where universal health-care is in effect, who is in favor of the system. It makes for an interesting discussion.
Here is the link to the essay that was mentioned on the show. And, coincidentally, Yaron Brook, the President of the Ayn Rand Institute, wrote an excellent essay about health-care just yesterday.
“You are free to see a doctor and pay him for his services–no one may forcibly prevent you from doing so. But you do not have a “right” to force the doctor to treat you without charge or to force others to pay for your treatment. The rights of some cannot require the coercion and sacrifice of others.”
What do you think? Feel free to comment.
Yaron Brook is saying what I was trying to say on the show. Health Care is not a right!
